Intertwining living networksHow to learn from reading infrastructural, ecological and energetic potentials
Transforming landscapes and urban environments in relation to sustainability and sufficiency need to develop methodologies and tools for evaluating and valorizing some abandoned spaces: for example, dismissed areas linked to pre-existing industrial or military complexes that have significant dimensions and strategic positions.
In the interactions with their territorial palimpsests, these areas reveal links with living networks that have characterized their transformation over time.
These are: infrastructural networks that have influenced the articulation, at different scales, of human settlements; ecological networks that have increasingly been recognized as forming archipelagos rather than islands in the territory to be preserved and protected; energetic networks for the production, storage, transport and distribution of different forms of energy, always strongly correlated to the morphologies with which cities and landscapes are transformed through different energetic transitions.
Faced with the intertwining of these living networks, conventional tools of representation are often unable to fully describe morphologies and relationships between these and local development strategies expressed by the territories themselves.
Some teaching activities and researches on theories and projects on regeneration of dismissed industrial areas, military areas and fortifications will be presented in the frame of mapping techniques applied on territories to be transformed by landscape and urban regeneration projects.
