Abstract
Technological imagination and innovation processes have always been at the basis of economic growth and the expansion of human domination over other species. Nevertheless, something seems to have got stuck. Can the leaps in technological development that make it possible to “reset” the clock to start growing again in a sustained form really be infinite? Or are we facing something different, a limit in the structural stability of the ecosystem itself? The worsening of the polycrisis – certainly also energetic – will require drastic solutions but should also finally allow the (re)emergence of radical ideas of renewal and transformation, as well as concrete proposals for spatial organisation associated with the new lifestyles they prefigure.
期刊介绍:
TECHNE, Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment is the scientific magazine of SITdA, the Italian Society of Architectural Technology. Techne aims: to publicize significant contributions in the technological and environmental planning action area, to provide a tool for international comparison on research themes in that area, to promote the recognition of scientific contributions in accordance with its criteria on the evaluation of research in an academic context and to promote the circulation of contributions concerning research and experimentation, the results and effects of which are interesting in terms of social, economic, environmental and cultural impact. The magazine endorses an editorial policy primarily geared towards the diffusion of knowledge, favouring access to it and ensuring reliable and original contributions as well as recognition to the authors, whose protection is a top priority but not limiting. Techne publishes two issues a year; it includes articles, essays, columns, interviews and reviews by authors who work in the academic world, in research, design, industry, and entrepreneurial and client organizations.
