Architecture between Process and Meta-Project

Abstract

The challenge of contemporary architectural design is that of technological convergence between the physical and virtual world, from which concepts such as Smart City and WikiCity derive. This challenge can be faced by means of meta-project, intended as a design process. Not only the design and management of urban phenomena become increasingly more technical, but they also develop into increasingly more intellectual practices. Therefore, architecture must regain its leading role in thinking of the city and in the formation of a vision for the future. Design culture encompasses architectural design, industrial design, urbanism, landscape architecture and engineering. In this sense, the ecosystemic perspective, which is based on the notion of open system, allows for significant changes in the design process.
