Claudia Visser, Alessia Zampano, Alessandro Zuffi, Emergenze, ITALIA 2001

The work consists in an activity of biblio-iconographic research that inquires and projects back in story form the relationship and the impact produced by the new technologies of information on urban development. The leading idea is the emergency, that is to say what happens when an interconnected system of relatively simple elements organize themselves in order to rise onto a more intelligent behavior that reveals an advanced level of complexity. The intention is to approach the mechanisms of the emergency and to describe its applications by introducing into the spaces of the ordinary, searching for examples of feedback, self-organization and the ability of adaptive learning. The observation deepens the informal social practices that one gives in the urban space and the territorial phenomena that emerge beyond the regulating forms of urban planning. The objective of the research is to acknowle spontaneous and innovative forms able to generate good practices of urban development.
