The integration of the organic dimension can be a strategy to reduce the impact of architecture on the environment and appears relevant to addressing the climate crisis. Positioning in a wider discussion on the relationship between man and nature, the paper shows how it is possible to broaden the understanding of the ecology of architecture, on the one hand, by looking at how some vernacular building techniques establish a relationship with living organic materials, on the other hand, through advanced architectural experiments that investigate the inhomogeneous nature of wood in order to integrate it into the project. The goal is to propose the inclusion of the organic dimension in architecture not only as a material issue but as a cultural paradigm shift where the building, rather than as an inert artefact, is interpreted as a piece of a broader and more complex ecology.
L’integrazione della dimensione vegetale può costituire una strategia per ridurre l’impatto dell’architettura sull’ambiente e risulta centrale nell’affrontare la crisi climatica. Inserendosi in una più ampia discussione sulla relazione tra uomo e natura, il contributo mostra come sia possibile ampliare la comprensione dell’ecologia dell’architettura, da un lato, guardando a come alcune tecniche costruttive vernacolari instaurano un rapporto con la materia vegetale vivente, dall’altro, tramite avanzate sperimentazioni architettoniche che indagano la natura disomogenea del legno per integrarla nel progetto. L’obiettivo è proporre l’inclusione della dimensione vegetale in architettura non solo come problematica materiale ma come un cambio di paradigma culturale in cui l’edificio, piuttosto che come manufatto inerte, viene interpretato come nuovo tassello di una più ampia e complessa ecologia.

Abstract
The integration of the organic dimension can be a strategy to reduce the impact of architecture on the environment and appears relevant to addressing the climate crisis. Positioning in a wider discussion on the relationship between man and nature, the paper shows how it is possible to broaden the understanding of the ecology of architecture, on the one hand, by looking at how some vernacular building techniques establish a relationship with living organic materials, on the other hand, through advanced architectural experiments that investigate the inhomogeneous nature of wood in order to integrate it into the project. The goal is to propose the inclusion of the organic dimension in architecture not only as a material issue but as a cultural paradigm shift where the building, rather than as an inert artefact, is interpreted as a piece of a broader and more complex ecology.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
