Towards an Ecological Urban Intentionality

In recent years, architectural and urban development has undergone a significant ideological and formal transformation, bringing a decisive change to approaches to design, and affirming a new interest in the development of a continually more ecological and sustainable urban intentionality of the project. We are referring in particular to the development of an architecture that surpasses its own scale to integrate itself and influence, in a vaster and more ecological manner, the urban territory. It is an architecture that looks beyond its own autonomy to become a point of encounter between continually more inter-disciplinary programmatic decisions, in which spatial, structural and technological solutions are associated with other fields of the sciences, social sciences, economics and ecology, rendering the relationship between a project and its site, nature and people, more complex and dynamic. A relationship that is no longer based solely on built space, all too often too static and invasive, but also on the vaster and more enlightened idea of blurring architecture.
