Negoziando la città. Le convenzioni urbanistiche nel centro storico di Milano, tra contrattazione e programmazione
No full textLa ricerca tratta delle convenzioni urbanistiche come strumento di attuazione della pianificazione urbana, al centro di un variegato sistema di attori, consuetudini d'uso e posizioni critiche. Dopo un'analisi degli aspetti giuridici e legislativi, si problematizza il tema in relazione al dibattito storico-critico su genesi e conseguenze del Piano Regolatore Generale di Milano del 1953 e si ricostruisce l'articolarsi di una posizione storiografica che nel tempo ha ridotto significato e rilevanza delle convenzioni urbanistiche a semplice strumento di speculazione e scardinamento delle politiche pianificatorie. Attraverso la schedatura completa delle convenzioni e dei materiali analoghi conservati presso l'Archivio del Servizio Gestione Pianificazione Generale e Organizzazione Dati Urbani del Comune di Milano e relativi all'area del centro storico - oggetto particolare del dibattito disciplinare - si propone una lettura per dati aggregati che discute la cornice interpretativa ridefinendone nel merito i presupposti; alcuni casi studio esemplificano poi le potenzialità della fonte come strumento di indagine dei rapporti tra strumenti pianificatori, delle modalità di contrattazione e della pluralità degli attori coinvolti, in rapporto ai processi di costruzione della citt
The tool of planning agreements: Milan at the core of an underexplored reading of the post-war Italian cities between the public and private sectors
Get PDFThe canonical planning and historiographical perspectives concerning the Italian cities in the second post-war period describe their complex modernization and expansion process mainly due to linear sequences of planning acts and policies. The public housing estates, their models, strategies, and agents are the consolidated interpretative categories to address the Italian boom.
The paper aims to question this understanding of the role played by the public powers facing the planning agreements as underexplored tools of Italian planning. Their original interpretation in connection with the post-war Italian planning legislation and the tools of the City and Detailed Plans opens to a nuanced history in the relationship between the public and private sectors, and the practices in the central and expansion areas of the post-war cities.
In the Italian legislative context, planning agreements are long-standing arrangements between the public administration and public or private actors, aiming at organizing and disciplining expertise and goods for planning purposes. Mainly interpreted as technical measures to overcome the City Plans constraints in the expansion areas, they rather reflect a stratified experience of punctual negotiation throughout the city, offering a privileged lens to observe tools and practices, professional and administrative networks, demands for social emancipation and renewal of planning processes, at the centre of a complex system of actors, habits, disciplinary and critical positions, leading to a reinterpretation of cultural and professional backgrounds and of social and negotiation processes, which is crucial for a complex reading of the post-war Italian cities.
In the second post-war period, the city of Milan offers a significant framework to observe the use and critical understanding of this tool, being at the core of the disciplinary debate and professional expectations of the 1950s and 60s. The meaningful case study of Piazza della Repubblica tower, one of the best-known post-war projects by the architect Giovanni Muzio, is provided
Milano negoziata: narrazioni dopo il 1953
No full textLa storiografia ha contribuito all'affermazione e al consolidamento nel tempo di un immaginario, disciplinare e pubblico, nel quale Milano è stata la città simbolo del sacrificio agli interessi speculativi delle potenzialità degli strumenti di pianificazione.
Osservando le vicende del Piano Regolatore Generale del 1953, il volume mette in discussione la cornice interpretativa che nel tempo si è strutturata intorno alle convenzioni edilizie ed urbanistiche dell'epoca. Una loro analisi quantitativa e qualitativa le interpreta quali strumenti di attuazione della pianificazione urbana, al centro di un variegato sistema di attori, consuetudini d'uso e posizioni critiche.
Alcuni casi studio esemplificano poi le potenzialità della fonte impiegata come strumento di indagine delle relazioni tra strumenti di pianificazione, modalità di contrattazione e pluralità degli attori coinvolti, in rapporto ai processi di costruzione della città.
Tutto ciò sembra essere in grado di sfidare narrazioni consolidate e di aprire alla costruzione di un racconto delle trasformazioni urbanistiche inclusivo di aspetti amministrativi, tecnici ed istituzionali finora inesplorati

Get PDFMapping the Discourses. Periodicals as a Pedagogical Project for a [Virtual] Course of Architecture History and Theory.
No full textThe course of History and Theory of Architecture has been offered within the framework of the international Master’s degree in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano since 2014. It addresses some seminal experiences and discourses of post-war architectural history and theory by positioning architectural periodicals at the center of the discussion and examining them as editorial objects, as sites of construction and production of knowledge, but also as engaged platforms for criticism.
Overall, the newfound virtual condition served as an accelerator for ongoing reflections on this pedagogic project, its tools, and outputs. The pandemic temporarily halted in-person archival activity, inevitably challenging the considerable research component that characterizes the course. In this perspective, mapping and exploiting online open-source archives and research databases constituted a preliminary objective – and significant result – of the research work, integrating the “traditional” database based on over 145 journals built in the previous years. Furthermore, the international composition of the class - where some students were carrying out their Erasmus exchange under unprecedented circumstances - continued prompting investigations beyond European and North American periodicals, considering databases and original publications from less-explored contexts, such as Turkey, China, India, or Iran. Besides, an ad-hoc WordPress course website kept students posted on the program, acting as a collector of references and information. Also, the virtual circumstance allowed the involvement of a variety of scholars, presenting exemplary cases drawn from their ongoing and past research.
The course investigates periodicals as systems of knowledge, where mapping operations constitute a methodology for both pedagogic and research agendas. Architecture journals, observed in their graphic, material, and cultural dimension, structure rich systems of interrelations that were represented through engaging quantitative and qualitative graphic syntheses. Bi-dimensional visualizations adopted multilayered timelines, pie charts, histograms, and clouds, while thematic cartography and interpretative maps geolocated projects to document the ever-evolving attention towards specific geographies or topics, recording the recurrence or disappearance of themes and terms.
A system of such mappings outlines different potentialities. On the one hand, it suggests further eventual expansions and contaminations with tools coming from the digital humanities. On the other, it encourages the adoption of a transnational perspective, as well as an interpretation of journals as catalysts for the circulation and transfer of forms of knowledge. This framework inevitably suggests alternative forms of teaching, communicating, learning, and researching in/for the history and theory of architecture, contributing to cement or dispute narrations of consolidated historiography through an emphasis on the nuanced and often untold mobility of people, models, discourses, and ideas
