A new Silent Spring. the creation of an autonomy of women‘s thinking in the project of open space and urban landscape

The women, for a long time, have worked in the field of artistic creation and scientific research, in almost total heteronomy. The reflection proposes a survey on women’s ability to operate in partial independence and free thought through the design space, especially the open space. One area in which women seem to find an aesthetic and ethical cohesion is related to the project of the modern and contemporary city, in its collective places and more broadly, in the urban landscape. The sudden move towards the “outside” is what characterizes writers, poetesses, architects, landscape architects, photographers, artists in a broad sense and even women scientists, who were chosen to generate a feminine aesthetic in relation to the idea of open space.
