Resumo

Centres to human life, cities represent the main threat to fine ecological balances, which are in turn responsible at multiple levels for the health of citizens. Metropolitan areas are therefore key in addressing such issues to maintain the wellbeing of all living things. Within today’s digital culture, designers have the opportunity to face these unprecedented challenges by approaching landscape under a dynamic, collective, multidisciplinary and multiscalar perspective, enabled through data driven design. These frameworks have the potential to empower designers to engage with nature as an active partner, through a set of new elements and tools to understand, represent and create these landscapes. The article discusses an experimental methodology for design and planning processes that detect and amplify potential and beneficial ecological connections within urban areas, providing an opportunity to consciously design for, and within, climate change adaptation.

Biografias Autor

Mathilde Marengo, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia

Mathilde Marengo is an Australian – French – Italian Architect, with a PhD in Urbanism, whose research focuses on the Contemporary Urban Phenomenon, its integration with technology, and its implications on the future of our planet. Within today’s critical environmental, social and economic framework, she investigates the responsibility of designers in answering these challenges through circular and metabolic design. She is Head of Studies, Faculty and PhD Supervisor at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia’s Advanced Architecture Group, an interdisciplinary research group investigating emerging technologies of information, interaction and manufacturing for the design and transformation of cities, buildings and public spaces.

Iacopo Neri, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia

Iacopo Neri’s research lies at the intersection of architecture, computer science, and urban planning.

Iacopo has been involved in academia since 2015, researching computational design and geospatial analysis. He has been involved in teaching activities at the University of Florence, The Polytechnic University of Milan, the Ecole des Ponts - ParisTech, and at IAAC - Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, where he is currently faculty of computational design and member of the AAG - Advanced Architectural Group’s Computational Design Research Team.

Eduardo Rico-Carranza, Architectural Association

Eduardo Rico is a Civil Engineer focused on the application of creative forms visualisation of data analytics in urban and landscape design. His current research focuses on the development interfaces that capture design in the form of sketches as a form of survey for large scale input in participatory processes. He is carrying out an EPSRC funded Ph.D. in the Space Syntax department in Bartlett school of architecture and acting as a design consultant for Space Syntax Limited. Eduardo currently Co-Directs the Landscape Urbanism master in the Architectural Association exploring the role of design within large landscape and environmental policy. He has extensive teaching experience in other institutions such as GSD, Bartlett and Berlage Institute. Eduardo has experience of working in the Urban Infrastructure Team in Arup as well as urban and landscape designer in a variety of award-winning projects with smaller firms in London.
