Beyond the Anthropocene. The New European Bauhaus for a Design approach between social inclusion and a renewed concept of beauty

In the face of the Anthropocene, the current geological era resulting from the impact of the activities of homo sapiens on the planet, a collective dialogue on the meaning of living in ecological terms is necessary. The human has become the dominant geological actor and has generated a semi-artificial world, an anthropized nature as opposed to wild nature, which hardly exists anymore. In this context, also with regard to the health issue induced by the Covid19 pandemic, the essay questions the new meaning of public space and good design practices aimed at regeneration, in particular of urban waterfronts.
