Disciplinary contamination. "Recherche patiente" in design technological culture

Gregotti argues that the main interest of architectural research must be the project, that is able to compare itself with other cultures and to acquire their useful and necessary resources within the specificity of its discipline. The new challenge starts from the hypothesis that it is possible to combine speculative investigation with design activity, as a tool for possible change, moving from the analytical-exploratory phase of research to the constructional-intentional phase, capable of foreshadowing the transformations: it is fundamental to map the change that contemporary societies are bringing to the creative professions - determining a new synthesis between knowledge, disjointed, fractioned - also to imagine what will be the “future toolbox”.
