Description
Today, social and territorial erosion generated by consumption capitalism urgently requires a paradigm shift in terms of architectural design, too. Although fully overcoming the idea of growth is perhaps unfeasible, a reflection on the ways and forms of such growth is increasingly necessary. In this context, the themes of duration, resistance, and the inertia of the material and immaterial deposits that build our landscapes must acquire a new centrality. In light of this, the book presents the concept of Territorial Fixed Capital and how this can be used to trigger change, although respecting the palimpsest of signs and meanings at the basis of architecture and the landscape. An essay by the renowned planner and geographer Arturo Lanzani opens the book.
