The green element and housing in the quarantined city

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of the new demand for a relationship with nature in and around our homes that these months of pandemic have put back at the centre of housing behaviour. The aim is to search for lines of continuity, fractures, radical transformations and unexpected returns within the disciplinary culture in relation to the dialectic between innovation and tradition and around the possible resilience of the modern project (understood as based on the continuous questioning around its own instruments and its role on an ethical and political level) in the face of changing conditions. In addition to Luigi Figini's decades of research in the field of Italian Rationalism, it examines the contribution of Pietro Porcinai and the work of Leberecht Migge in Germany.
