CFC-Multiscalar Challenges : Land-Links: Multi-Cities, Agro Landscapes, Hyper-Foods, Inno-Fields. 5 Factors for a Balanced Geo-Urbanity
The new contemporary multi-city, the fractal, irregular and networked poly-polis (Gausa 2018), needs the landscape, as a eco-systemic and proactive infrastructure, conceived not only as a network of âgreen open spacesâ. The in-between transversal landscape of the new city needs agriculture to ensure its positive and relational conservation. Agriculture, especially if developed in low or medium intensity contexts, requires programmatic innovative mixture and diversityâ associated with its uses and crops, but also with an agro-tourism based on zero kilometre hospitality, gastronomy, energy production, digital manufacturing, technical researchâto ensure its own resilient livelihood capacity. Creative Food Cycles (CFC) covers all these scales and levels of actionâwith a socio-cultural activism approachâpromoting a strategic and innovative integration, from the territorial and urban perspective to the creative-social dimension and to the scale of product design. The food factor, from a mere productive indicator, becomes an agent inducing new sustainable and innovative processes

The Morandi Bridge and La Val Polcevera
After the colapse of the Morandi Bridge the challenge now is not only the construction of a new bridge (and its possible combination with the consolidation of the remains of the old one) but the generation of multiple "bridges" with the treatment of the entire Polcevera Valley \u2013 a river valley with a wide variety of urban, landscape, industrial, and heritage structures, which existed for years with its \u201cback to the city\u201d. That valley, today, can be (re)signified \u2013 treated with ambition and urban quality \u2013 as a new fundamental focal point in the city

Mapping (in) the New Time. New Analytical-Synthetic Representations for the New n-City and its Multi-Territories
Our cities \u2013as translations of our societies themselves\u2013 are the most complex dynamic and informational systems that exist: they are space-time (as well as sensorial) systems constantly exchanging information among the elements that comprise them, and between the latter and the surrounding environment, mutating and fluctuating in an evolutionary manner
TOPOLOGIE VERDI E PAESAGGI OLTRE IL PAESAGGIO 30 anni di ricerche sulla ibridizzazione del verde
I nuovi metabolismi urbani e la loro condizione antropica accelerata richiedono una nuova visione sistemica ambientale interconnessa, capace di favorire non solo unâeffi- cace interazione tra âfabbricheâ e âpaesaggiâ inter- ed endo- urbani, ma anche una nuo- va dimensione âverdeâ piuÌ fluida e trasversale, volta a incoraggiare un fertile incontro tra natura e cittaÌ, eco-struttura e infra-struttura, tecnologia, topografia e topologia, intrec- ciando il territorio, re-informando i suoi stessi tessuti strutturali e soprattutto âre-natura- lizzandoâ, attraverso maglie flessibili, le sue diverse e variegate preesistenze. Si rendo- no necessarie nuove strategie eco-sistemiche âcittaÌ-architettura-infrastruttura-paesag- gioâ ma anche nuovi tipi di repertori spaziali dalle geometrie piuÌ complesse (piuÌ flessibi- li, elastiche e organiche) legate alle dinamiche di un ambiente in mutazione e alle sue manifestazioni multi-scalari: nuove topografie, topologie e topomorfie (ma anche para- tipologie) piuÌ ibride percheÌ, paradossalmente, piuÌ sensibili alla natura; approcci favoriti dallâattuale capacitaÌ eco-tecnologica di lavorare con nuovi materiali responsivi in cui la vegetazione e tutti gli organismi bio-attivi si combinerebbero in nuovi dispositivi spaziali multi-scalari, âambienti in/di reteâ, evidenziando il passaggio da unâecologia difensiva a unâecologia proattiva e persino a unâecologia sempre piuÌ tecno-performativa
Barcelona: haec omnia â divisa â tibi daboâŠ: cohesiĂłn y divisiĂłn en la evoluciĂłn (geo)urbana de una ciudad ambivalentemente compacta
Desde la cima del Tibidabo Barcelona se ha presentado, durante muchos años, como un Todo
unitario (haec omnia tibi daboâŠTodo esto te darĂ©,
Mateo 4:9): una masa compacta, sensiblemente
regular, extendida entre los dos rĂos laterales
y el mar (los lĂmites que, en el pasado, habĂan
delimitado su geografĂa). Incluso con el salto de
escala reciente Barcelona ha conservado su aparente claridad estructural, a pesar de los procesos difusos que han caracterizado estas Ășltimas
dĂ©cadas. Sin embargo, bajo esa aparente âunidad/uniformidadâ, civil y cĂvica, Barcelona ha
sido siempre una ciudad dividida, tanto en lo fĂsico como en lo social. Lo mĂĄs sorprendente de
esa división es su caråcter sistémico a lo largo
del tiempo, al coincidir âen cada periodoâ âdivisiĂłn socioculturalâ y âdivisiĂłn fĂsicaâ en ciertos
espacios de lĂmite claramente reconocibles en la propia estructura urbana y en su propio desarrollo (desde la ciudad romana y medieval hasta
la ciudad industrial y postindustrial o la ciudad
informacional contemporĂĄnea).
En este texto se revisan diversos ejemplos suficientemente explĂcitos en los que la
paradĂłjica ecuaciĂłn unidad-divisiĂłn ha marcado la historia (mesuradamente contradictoria y
dual) de una ciudad abierta y cerrada, doméstica
y cosmopolita, liberal y conservadora, ambiciosa y temerosa, emprendedora y auto-referencial;
una ciudad en la que, en sus mejores momentos,
las dos caras de la moneda âlos conocidos seny
(sentido comĂșn) y rauxa (rabia emocional)â habrĂan dejado paso a una tercera vĂa, la empenta
(el empuje, racional y creativo) capaz de superar
solercias e inercias, convenciones, y divisionesFrom the top of Tibidabo, Barcelona has presented itself, for many years, as a unitary Whole
(haec omnia tibi dabo ... All this I will give you,
Matthew 4: 9): a compact mass, sensibly regular,
extended between the two lateral rivers and the
sea (the limits that, in the past, had delimited
its geography). Even with the recent leap in scale, Barcelona has preserved its apparent structural clarity, despite the diffuse processes that
have characterized these last decades.
However, under that apparent âunity /
uniformityâ, civil and civic, Barcelona has always
been a divided city, both physically and socially.
The most surprising thing about this division is
its systemic character over time, as âsociocultural divisionâ and âphysical divisionâ coincide âin
each periodâ in certain boundary spaces that are
clearly recognizable in the urban structure itself
and in its own development (from the Roman and
medieval city to the industrial and post-industrial city or the contemporary informational city).
In this text several sufficiently explicit
examples are reviewed in which the paradoxical
unit-division equation has marked the history
(moderately contradictory and dual) of an open
and closed city, domestic and cosmopolitan, liberal and conservative, ambitious and fearful,
entrepreneurial and self -referential; a city in
which, in its best moments, the two sides of the
coin âthe well-known seny (common sense) and
rauxa (emotional rage)â would have given way
to a third way, the empenta (the drive, rational
and creative) capable of overcoming abilities
and inertias, conventions, and divisions.Do alto do Tibidabo, Barcelona se apresentou,

em cada perĂodo coincidem, em determinados
espaços de fronteira, a âdivisĂŁo socioculturalâ
e a âdivisĂŁo fĂsicaâ, espaços esses claramente reconhecĂveis na estrutura urbana e em seu prĂłprio desenvolvimento - desde a cidade romana e
medieval Ă cidade industrial e pĂłs-industrial, ou

Neste texto, sĂŁo revisados exemplos
suficientemente explĂcitos da paradoxal equação unidade-divisĂŁo, que marcou a histĂłria de
forma moderada, contraditĂłria e dual: de uma

Black Ecologies
While the adjective "black" or \u201cdark\u201d encompasses the \u201cmurky\u201d condition of urban, peri-urban \u2013 and increasingly para-natural \u2013 scenarios and materials, its sustainable complement (\u201cecologies\u201d) posits the need to foster an investigation of \u201cenvironmental conditions\u201d that leave behind the Bucolic, the Platonic and/or Apollonian ideal: \u201cenvironmental conditions\u201d in which parameters of \u201cnoise\u201d, pollution, attrition, corruption and/or hybridization are considered as a substantive part of the processes being addressed
MAPS OF STRATEGICAL, PHYSICAL, SOCIAL (AND EMOTIONAL) GEOGRAPHIES
Today the urban planners, through the study of the SMGI data, are able to quickly obtain quantitative and quantitative information on the spatial dynamics of the citizens in the urban context.
This practice will be increasingly exploited in the future, especially in the context of environmental or culpable disasters, in which the redesign of an area requires tight deadlines.
The question that arises is spontaneous: it will be possible to rethought an urban context in which everyone, being able to access the social networks, will have power to represent their future image of space? What would be the consequences of the user\u2019s immediate responses? Starting from Google Maps and Instagram would you see an overlap or a split between the maps of the physical movements and the maps of the emotional geographies
CROSSLANDS: RESILIENCE AND NEW METROPOLITAN POLARITIES IN THE PERIURBAN RIVER SPACES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST. THE CASE OF VAL POLCEVERA
o studio territoriale di reti socio/infra/intra-strutturali ambisce non solo ad integrare differenti sistemi, quanto, e soprattutto, a creare fra questi sinergia e risonanza; focalizzandosi non unicamente sulla mobilit\ue0 urbana infrastrutturale, ma anche, sull\u2019interconnessione fra realt\ue0 geografiche e sociali oggi interrotte: territori oggi frammentati e complessi (come quello della val Polcevera) hanno la necessit\ue0 e l\u2019opportunit\ue0 di essere riattivati e rintrecciati in nuove trame geourbane, in cui connessioni ed interconnessioni assumono un ruolo fondamentale.
L\u2019analisi strategica di questi casi di studio vuole illustrare un nuovo approccio contemporaneo ad una pianificazione pi\uf9 multi-sistemica (e multilivello) che invita all\u2019 esplorazione di nuovi tipi di cartografia, mappatura, analisi grafica (diagrammi, ideogrammi, schemi, masterizzazioni) associati ad una rappresentazione pi\uf9 espressiva, comunicativa, plastica e concettualmente esplicita del Disegno Urba
