Ecological transition and new dwelling paradigms

Umberto Pagano

Abstract


We are living a historical phase in which phenomena of enormous significance intersect: the digital turn, the “ecological transition”, the pandemic contingency, against the backdrop of a unique event in the history of human civilization and of Earth itself: for the first time behaviours and choices of a living species are among the main causes of a biotic transition (or mass extinction).The way of thinking, planning, building cities and houses faces with new scenarios. Human and social sciences are called to a deep and fundamental reflection, in the sign of complexity and of the overcoming of scientisms.

This contribution, starting from a radical re-thinking of dwelling, intends to provide a critical review of some concrete perspectives of “urban and housing transition” towards new spatial and relational models.
