Design - Theory

Sustainability, production, economy, democracy, justice, issues of governance and participation are issues of major importance involved in planning both in the urban context and in the environment. Planning is now redefined on the basis of the principles of ecology and the directions dictated by the need for sustainability and the objectives of participation. Starting from the theoretical analysis of the concepts, the course aims at approaching the design of the space according to the above concepts, with the ultimate goals of sustainability, self-sufficiency, and quality of life.

Through the introduction of the theoretical framework, examples and exercises, the proposed course identifies the ways in which design is repositioned as a field and as a process to address today's and tomorrow's local and global challenges.
