Fragility and reconstructions

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Fragility and reconstructions. The responses to emergencies

Friday 29 March 2019 at 9.30
L’AQUILA, Palazzo dell’Emiciclo, via Michele Iacobucci 4

Organized by ANCE GIOVANI e IN/ARCH

Beautiful but fragile, the beautiful country is experiencing a continuous emergency due to natural disasters of various origins: floods, instability, landslides, earthquakes and collapses due to neglect. Climate change has caused hundreds of emergencies in the past decade alone; while since 1600 there have been 201 earthquakes with a magnitude equal to or greater than 5.5, or with destructive capacity; on average one every two years, with heavy repercussions on people’s lives and safety and on public spending.

Added to this is the state of alert for the sinister creaking of many senescent infrastructures.

Yet there is no “catastrophe training”, the policies of prevention and safety of the country are only in a nutshell and the pace of reconstruction is still marked by the urgency that always distances us from the matrix of cities and villages and creates long-lasting precarious social ghettos.

The scientific world and that of the public administration in recent years have been questioning the need for a single system of intervention that capitalize on successful experiences to disseminate interdisciplinary collective learning: from urban planning to social, also passing through art, from architecture to the economy, passing through modern construction and considering them as elements with a strong empathic potential in the regeneration of the fragile and exposed anthropic space.

Witnesses of excellence from various disciplines will discuss a L’Aquila, on the tenth anniversary of the 2009 earthquake, to seek a synthesis of the most up-to-date knowledge and outline a ideal intervention model able to break the practice of spot actions that follow such frequent catastrophes, that it can be considered almost a typical Italian product.
