Architettura che cura il pianeta

Abstract

"L’architettura e il pianeta malato" by Michele Sbacchi is the third publication in the series «Sustainable Architecture. Aesthetics resources reuse". The text addresses the theme of sustainability not only in technical and technological terms but also from a humanistic point of view and culturally closer to the field of architectural design. The title of the volume is inspired by Debord's well-known reflections collected in the 1970s essay The Sick Planet to then project its field of investigation onto architecture understood as "therapy", or as a discipline that should stop being reflected of a sick society to instead once again become an expression, as it was in the past, of the difficult balance between the poles of development and progress on the one hand and sustainability and care of the environment on the other and therefore resolving the dilemma of this dialectical relationship through the culture of the project.
