Sul termine inclusione
No full textInclusione è un termine che sempre più spesso viene associato ai temi della buona progettazione dello spazio pubblico, specialmente in relazione all’accessibilità fisica dell’ambiente urbano. Tuttavia, il concetto di inclusione va ben oltre a questa sua interpretazione, per certi versi riduttiva, poiché si occupa di tutti quegli aspetti che riguardano la sfera pubblica, cercando di migliorare la qualità della vita di tutte le persone che fruiscono dello spazio pubblico. È proprio sulle persone che si concentra la potenzialità dell’inclusione, poiché ricolloca gli utenti e i loro bisogni al centro del processo progettuale. Un nuovo approccio integrato di tipo inclusivo permetterebbe il passaggio da una progettazione rivolta a garantire la sola accessibilità dei luoghi, a una concezione pienamente inclusiva dell’azione progettuale, finalizzata a garantire l’effettivo benessere delle persone indipendentemente dal loro livello di abilità o background personale
Inclusion, identity and cultural heritage: a bond of reciprocity
No full textLa società contemporanea occidentale sta attraversando diverse trasformazio- ni, le quali hanno portato a una rinnovata consapevolezza del ruolo dell’am- biente costruito sul benessere delle persone. Tra le esigenze che un approccio progettuale focalizzato sull’uomo deve soddisfare, l’identità costituisce uno dei diritti fondamentali della persona. Riconosciuto il patrimonio culturale come uno dei principali strumenti attraverso i quali è possibile promuovere processi di identificazione, l’intento di questo contributo è di analizzare cosa comporta rendere inclusive le risorse del patrimonio ed offrire nuovi spunti per assicurare il più alto livello possibile di partecipazione sociale. I risultati di questo studio reinterpretano così il rapporto reciproco tra identità, patrimo- nio culturale e inclusione, individuando in quest’ultima la chiave interpretati- va per una società più equa.Contemporary western society is facing several transformations, which have led to a renew awareness about the role of built environment on people’s well-being. Among the needs that a human-centered design approach must meet, identity represents one of a person’s fundamental rights. Acknowledg- ing cultural heritage as one of the main assets through which is possible to activate identification processes, the intention of this paper is to analyze what entails to make heritage resources inclusive and to offer new suggestions able to guarantee the highest possible level of social participation. The outcomes of the study thus reinterpret the mutual relationship between identity, cul- tural heritage and inclusion, identifying in the latter the key for a more equal society
Inclusion: Looking for a new design approach for the development of the city for all
No full textAn interesting definition given to sustainability is “for everybody, forever”. Unfortunately, if we consider Italian cities, although many of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, they can not fit in this definition. First of all, in a world with aging population and where disability is no longer the exception, cities still present too many physical barriers that prevent people from using public space. Secondly cities have not been able to respond to the dynamism of migration flows and the progress of multiculturalism, causing episodes of inequality and social decay. Although these issues have always been at the center of the attention and the assumption underlying any design process is the identification and satisfaction of users’ needs, there are numerous project interventions that in recent years are not able to provide appropriate responses to these needs. For this reason, in particular for the city as the place of daily activities and social relations, it’s necessary a transition to a new design approach which ensures a fully inclusive view of the project and the effective well-being of people. Through the research it has been possible to define this new inclusive approach, which is primarily based on a cognitive phase to know users, their real needs and expectations. Then it’s necessary to define the tools for the development of a city for all, to be achieved through integrated design solutions, fitting to the different users’ skills. It’s also important to recognize the need for management actions to work alongside the architectural solutions to ensure their real effectiveness. In conclusion, this new design approach allows to obtain many benefits, from social to economic ones, but above all to rediscover the role of the city on the quality of people’s lives, especially in the Italian contest

Innovative Accesibility Data Inventory Tools for Urban Environments in Historic Sites
No full text: The development of the cognitive framework regarding the current performances of the historic built environment in physical accessibility plays a key role in the definition of inclusive design strategies. To this end, this paper presents the comparison between two survey methodologies: one based on an on-site investigation, and one based on a semi-automatic process, using artificial intelligence. The presentation of the two methods aims at describing the processes, underlining their potential outcomes, and the procedures for presenting and interpreting the data. The result is a set of observations to propose a strategy that integrates both the approaches, to exploit ICT in managing inclusive design processes
Exploring Identities. Perspectives from a cross-disciplinary dialogue
No full textBuilt and natural environments have always been the set where people engage and voice challenging relations, contradictory feelings, legacies of traditions and many other individual and collective expressions. The notion of identities has been used by academics in different research fields to study such dynamics, as well as the role of the urban space in fostering or resisting them. Particularly, many have focused on processes of urban transformation, although the tendencies of practical planning and design towards this topic have become increasingly confusing and conflicting. On these premises, this special issue of QU3 – iQuaderni di U3 has been structured as a cross-disciplinary dialogue among scholars from different research fields. The aim has been to acknowledge different perspectives as an essential grounding from which starting a critical reflection of both theoretical and practical assumptions regarding identities. The reader will confront and actively participate in this dialogue which must guide us to a new understanding of those processes through which places, experiences and individuals may emerge
L’abilismo non deve appartenere alla città
No full text“Discriminazione, pregiudizio o marginalizzazione nei confronti delle persone disabili”. Così l’Accademia della Crusca definisce l’abilismo nell’elenco delle parole nuove (anche se non ancora ufficializzata). Un paradigma culturale, al pari dei più conosciuti sessismo e razzismo, che vuole che tutti abbiano un corpo abile, convenzionato a costrutti sociali e culturali di “normalità”. Qualsiasi limitazione fisica o cognitiva che non rientra in questo ideale porta a fenomeni di esclusione e discriminazione più o meno volontari.
Chi è “normale”? Oggi nel mondo si contano più di un miliardo di persone – il 15% della popolazione globale –- con diverse forme di disabilità. In Europa sono 46 milioni, a cui si andrà ad aggiungere entro il 2040 un 28,1% di popolazione over65 con possibili limitazioni fisiche, sensoriali o cognitive. Su tali premesse è necessario ripensare la stessa parola “disabilità”
