This thesis investigates the theme of renaturalisation through a speculative approach, proposing the resolution of anthropogenic critical issues through the use of nature as a technological tool, i.e. through the symbiosis between the ecological dimension and the built world. The study is divided into four phases, from the identification and analysis of the problem (exploration and creation phase) to its theoretical synthesis (reflection phase), up to the definition of the design solution (implementation phase), which constitutes the generating principle of a further design implementation: "PHYTOPOLIS: Architetture metaboliche per una polis post-antropocentrica", the final outcome of the thesis. Phytopolis is configured as a widespread urban organism, a metabolic network that integrates living and artificial elements to purify the air in Milan. Acting as an urban biofilter, Phytopolis represents the vision of a city that breathes: a living, interconnected and continuously regenerating system that promotes a model of coexistence between humans and non-humans.
La presente tesi indaga il tema della rinaturalizzazione attraverso un approccio speculativo proponendo la risoluzione delle criticità antropiche mediante l'uso della natura come strumento tecnologico, cioè attraverso la simbiosi tra dimensione ecologica e mondo costruito. Lo studio si articola in quattro fasi, dall'individuazione e analisi del problema (exploration and creation phase) alla sua sintesi teorica (reflection phase), fino alla definizione della design solution (implementation phase) che costituisce il principio generatore di un ulteriore implementazione progettuale: "PHYTOPOLIS: Architetture metaboliche per una polis post-antropocentrica", esito finale della tesi. Phytopolis si configura come un organismo urbano diffuso, una rete metabolica che integra vivente e artificio per purificare l'aria di Milano. agendo come un biofiltro urbano, Phytopolis rappresenta la visione di una città che respira: un sistema vivente, interconnesso e in continua rigenerazione che promuove un modello di coesistenza tra esseri umani e non-umani.

Abstract
This thesis investigates the theme of renaturalisation through a speculative approach, proposing the resolution of anthropogenic critical issues through the use of nature as a technological tool, i.e. through the symbiosis between the ecological dimension and the built world. The study is divided into four phases, from the identification and analysis of the problem (exploration and creation phase) to its theoretical synthesis (reflection phase), up to the definition of the design solution (implementation phase), which constitutes the generating principle of a further design implementation: "PHYTOPOLIS: Architetture metaboliche per una polis post-antropocentrica", the final outcome of the thesis. Phytopolis is configured as a widespread urban organism, a metabolic network that integrates living and artificial elements to purify the air in Milan. Acting as an urban biofilter, Phytopolis represents the vision of a city that breathes: a living, interconnected and continuously regenerating system that promotes a model of coexistence between humans and non-humans.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
