Ricerca di Dottorato
Progettare la città dell’emergenza. Approcci orientati alla socialità per il progetto degli spazi aperti degli insediamenti temporanei post-emergenziali.
Abstract
La ricerca esplora come gli spazi aperti possano essere strumenti di supporto per esperienze traumatiche dopo un’emergenza, in particolare un terremoto. L'indagine adotta un approccio sociale e si concentra sulla disposizione dei campi temporanei post-emergenza. Lo studio di questi insediamenti può offrire soluzioni urbane resilienti e tempestive per promuovere vitalità sociale da replicare. L'obiettivo è integrare queste strategie spaziali nel quadro normativo italiano post-emergenziale.
PHD Research
Designing the Emergency City. Socially oriented approaches for the management and design of post-earthquake temporary settlements.
Abstract
The research investigates how open spaces can serve as supportive tools for individuals experiencing trauma after emergencies, particularly earthquakes. The study adopts a social approach and concentrates on the design of temporary settlements. Examining temporary post-emergency settlements can offer resilient urban solutions that are time-sensitive, fostering social vitality and potentially replicable elsewhere. The objective is to integrate these spatial strategies within the existing Italian regulatory framework for post-emergency scenarios.
