Forte di Bard, domenica 6 ottobre 2024, 11.00-17.00

The huge environmental and socio-economic changes in progress and the consequent territorial rebalancing dynamics require a deep revision of the settlement models with which the territories have been colonized and transformed up to today. 

From this point of view, the Alps are an important place in which to identify new paradigms based on the adaptation to environmental and climatic changes, on the need for an essential and efficient approach to living, on the development of new economic and production models, and on the re-signification of cultural, social and patrimonial legacies. 

The three universities involved, each with its own approaches and specificities, will share these challenges through a critical and immersive reading of the territory, and will elaborate design scenarios to dwell the Alps of tomorrow.
