In the last decades the global crisis, the thoughtless use of resources and the related dramatic environmental effects matured a new awareness of human and economic values that are also changing strategic and spatial goals of territorial organization. This requires new competences and skills in the design fields, and asks for integration among different disciplines that have been apart so far. In particular the environmental emergency, the inadequacy of urban policies and the crisis of the construction industry as a model for economy and cultural deve¬lopment, presuppose strong expectations for a renewal of social knowled¬ge. The issues of ecology, sustainability, quality of urban transformations and landscape values have become dominant in contemporary debates. It is urgent to immediately give an answer to these problems. New knowledge and new professions are required. The Symposium is open to professionals and young scholars from both research and practice fields. The Symposium will address the issue of changing paradigms and tools in the design disciplines in order to define new proposals for the re¬search approaches, education and experimental practices of architecture.
The Symposium is organized in 4 Open Sessions (Spaces, Systems, Sources, Scales) + 1 session dedicated to the contemporary debate on public space (Open Taksim), in which the visions and experiences of international key figures in the fields of design and planning (Keynote Speakers) and the best papers selected by an international Committee of anonymous referees (7 papers for each session, Pecha Kucha format) are presented. All selected papers and the Keynote Speakers contributions will be published in a special issue of the ma¬gazine Monograph.it.Research 05 edited by List Lab, and that will be distributed at the opening of the Symposium.
