Abstract
Polytechnic culture: ideas, values and opportunities
Highlights
Complexity is the central theme of our contemporary age, and what technical culture needs today is to know how to manage it
Se dunque la complessità è il tema del futuro, non possiamo eludere da una riflessione attenta sul dualismo tra specializzazione e visione sistemica; sul rapporto tra una solida cultura specialistica, necessaria per comprendere i problemi in profondità, e un’ampia prospettiva culturale, vitale per capire in che direzione va il mondo
Knowing how to deal with situations that are anything but straightforward – situations that require flexible thinking, the ability to establish a dialogue between fields of knowledge, and the intermingling of points of view that are, by their very nature, heterogeneous. If this is the direction that needs to be taken in order to tackle the major challenges of the future – from energy to the environment, healthcare to data management, and so on – it naturally follows that the old monodisciplinary paradigm that we have grown accustomed to as a result of tradition, divided up and compartmentalised, is outdated
Summary
Complexity is the central theme of our contemporary age, and what technical culture needs today is to know how to manage it. Per affrontare le grandi prove del nostro tempo, di cui l’architettura è interprete, serve una visione allargata.
