Dagli anni duemila in poi è cresciuto l’interesse nella pubblicazione di articoli riguardanti manufatti architettonici progettati nei paesi meno sviluppati del globo. È da questa intuizione che il percorso di tesi si avvia cercando conferma nelle riviste del settore: Casabella, Domus, Lotus e ancora Architectural Review, Architectural Record e AIA Journal. Consultando questi periodici dal 1995 ai giorni nostri è stato possibile avviare un percorso che ha cercato di approfondire e indagare cause e motivazioni, politiche e sociali, che hanno caratterizzato e condizionato la storia recente dell’Architettura. Dal Postmodernismo nato negli anni ‘60 in opposizione al Movimento Moderno all’ ibridazione delle culture dei progettisti, passando per la Grande Recessione e gli esempi di post e soft colonialismo attraverso Fry, Drew e Otto Koenigsberger fino all’interrogativo che riguarda il sottile filo che lega progetti umanitari e nuovo imperialismo. Questo ci ha permesso di compiere un lavoro di astrazione, di sintesi ragionata che da una collezione di esemplari ha mirato all’individuazione di tipologie, temi propri della progettazione: acqua, calore, terra, luce, spazio, tempo, colore e materia. Le soluzioni individuate si legano a condizioni che oggi sembrano sempre più urgenti anche nei nostri luoghi, nei nostri contesti, nei nostri paesi. È necessario individuare degli strumenti per progettare nell'epoca in cui l'uomo rimodella la Terra divenendo decisivo per l'ecologia globale: l'Antropocene. È dunque possibile trarre delle metodologie progettuali dalla tradizione di paesi che storicamente hanno già dovuto fronteggiare difficili condizioni ambientali e climatiche? E se sì, qual è il ruolo dell’ibridazione di culture?

Abstract
From the 2000s onwards, the interest in the publication of articles on architectural artefacts designed in the least developed countries of the globe has grown. It is from this initial intuition that the process of research begins, by looking for confirmation in the magazines of the sector: Casabella, Domus, Lotus, Architectural Review, Architectural Record and AIA Journal. By consulting these periodicals from 1995 to the present day, it was possible to follow a path that sought to deepen and investigate the political and social causes and motivations that have characterized and conditioned the recent history of architecture. From Postmodernism born in the 1960s in opposition to the Modern Movement, to the hybridization of different cultures of designers coming from and traveling to different parts of the world, passing through the Great Recession and the examples of post and soft colonialism through Fry, Drew and Otto Koenigsberger, up to the question concerning the thin thread that separates humanitarian projects to a new form of imperialism. This was followed by an effort of abstraction, of reasoned synthesis that started from a collection of specimens and has led to the definition of eight themes: water, heat, earth, light, space, time, color and matter. The solutions identified are linked to conditions that are becoming increasingly urgent even in our contexts. It is necessary to identify the tools to design in an era in which man remodels the Earth, becoming decisive for the global ecology: the Anthropocene. Is it therefore possible to draw methodologies from the tradition of countries that historically have already had to face difficult environmental and climatic conditions? And if so, what is the role of the hybridization of cultures?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
