Abstract
Lecturers: E. Cogato-Lanza, A. Pagani, guests. Systems thinking has regained its topicality due to the need to apprehend interdependencies that characterize our inhabited environment. The technicist approach, which had favored complexity without relating it to systems, has given way to interdisciplinary, contextual and holistic frameworks of understanding and action that lead to new prototypes.
Objective
The seminar intends to draw up a cartography of the most current theoretical references and strategic experiments of systemic thinking in the field of the territorial project. The two envisaged formats will associate the series of conferences, bringing together protagonists and researchers, with more strictly seminal sessions with a comparative, inventory or bibliographical tone.
Content
The seminar is structured in four modules: Polemics; Concepts; Representations; Projects.
