3 Opening: a useful reference

7 (1) The territorial objects, (2) How they work, and (3) How people use them Are not the same thing We can distinguish: [dotazioni]: facilities territorial materials [prestazioni]: performances [pratiche d uso]: ways of use, urban practices

[dotazioni]: facilities territorial materials

8 At the centre of territorial habitability issues is the characteristic form of relationship between the society and the space with and in which it interacts. We describe and interpret territorial features of this relationship to recognize planning problems, and to outline project proposals to face them. A spectrum of planning problems: The problem is a lack of the right territorial objects (a problem related to the physical materials) Facilities (territorial materials) do not work well (a problem related to the performances) Facilities (territorial materials) and their performances do not effectively match people practices or there are conflicts among different metropolitan populations using spaces (a problem related to urban practices)

9 In particular, the planning of facilities and the definition of their performances have always and typically been the specific field of the urban planner practice. Facilities (territorial materials) define the features of the space. Facilities are what is to be found/exists in a territorial field, available to be used.

10 To talk about facilities means (constrains us) to consider and focus the real objects present in the territorial field and not abstractions, i.e.: real roads and not infrastructures concrete houses and not generic residential units... Taking into consideration the facilities of a territory means identifying the things, the objects actually present which make it possible to live well or badly in a place. In this sense facilities can be considered as the particular quality of an area: dowry and talent of a territorial field.

11 In a broad sense, the facilities of a territorial field are all the materials of the built and open spaces. From the operational point of view, to look at and recognize territorial facilities, it can be useful to draw up a list of them: not an abstract a priori taxonomy of urban materials as in an handbook, but a catalogue from a real territorial field, made through selective on-the-spot investigations. Defining the overall facilities that are salient to an area is useful to highlight the differences among various recognisable parts of the territorial field under consideration.

12 Why is it important taking care of facilities, of the concrete and material dimension of territory? La costruzione materiale del territorio delinea inevitabilmente differenti campi di possibilità nella nostra vita quotidiana e delle nostre pratiche abitative e definisce talora radicali incapacitazioni all esercizio della libertà individuale di molti soggetti il contatto muto con le cose che ci circondano, la relazione con l ambiente che ci avvolge, costituisce il punto di partenza della nostra esplorazione del mondo. (A. Lanzani, in Territorio, n. 20, 2002) Material construction of territory outlines ties and opportunities for the practices, outlines the field of possibilities of our daily life.

13 However it is not implicit in the facilities the way, or the how, of their possible uses: the variety of possible uses of the facilities belongs to the sphere of social practices, to the subjectivity of the individuals, to the relevant cultural world of the local society. Space features (the world of the objects, facilities sphere) condition the practices but do not determine them. There is always a gap among objects, their provided performances and effective ways of use.

14 Surveying territorial facilities we can adopt, and it is useful to adopt: large views (looking at from a distance, from afar) close views (looking at from close up) intermediate views (looking at from an intermediate distance). A transcalar survey strategy to draft a dense, meaningful, effective profile

15 A large view of territorial materials S. Boeri, A. Lanzani, E. Marini, Il territorio che cambia, Ambienti, paesaggi e immagini della regione urbana milanese [The changing territory. Environments, landscapes and images of the Milan urban region], Abitare Segesta, Milano, Tre principali ambienti (three settled environments): un ambiente urbano (conurbato) an urban environment (conurbation) un ambiente reticolare a net-like settled environment un ambiente a bassa densità a low density settled environment (a rarefied settled environment)

16 Ad una visione di insieme, i territori della regione milanese possono essere ricondotti ad alcuni principali ambienti: un ambiente urbano, uno reticolare e uno a bassa densità edilizia. Grandi forme di organizzazione del rapporto tra lo spazio fisico e la società che mostrano oggi la loro influenza in aree diverse e a volte molto distanti del territorio (Boeri, Lanzani, Marini 1993, p. 24). In a general view of the Milan Urban Region we can recognize three main kinds of settled environments that are big forms of the organization of the relationship between physical space and society. Ogni ambiente delimita [ ] differenti condizioni generali dell abitare, definisce un particolare quadro fisico per i comportamenti abitativi e insediativi individuali e collettivi, mostra un particolare assetto del capitale fisso sociale, costituisce in sintesi il substrato materiale per molteplici sistemi d interazione sociale, sia a base territoriale [ ] sia di natura a-territoriale (ibidem, nota 6). Each environment defines different living conditions, i.e. a particular physical frame for individual and collective living and settling behaviours: the material substratum for a plurality of social interaction systems

20 A close view of territorial materials (urban materials and their compositions) Città di Seregno, Regolamento edilizio [Building regulation code], Comune di Seregno, Famiglie dei materiali urbani (families of urban materials): 1. Recinti degli edifici bassi unifamiliari (detached houses fences) 2. Recinti degli edifici alti plurifamiliari (apartment buildings fences) 3. Aggregati in isolati (aggregates of buildings into blocks) 4. Recinti e aggregati dei grandi contenitori (fences and aggregates of big-box buildings) 5. Recinti dello spazio aperto (fences of the open space) 6. Spazio aperto produttivo (productive open space)

21 I materiali urbani sono quindi unità minime di composizione dello spazio urbano, definibili sulla base delle relazioni tra i manufatti presenti e lo spazio aperto, in particolare tra l edificio e il lotto di pertinenza Leggere la città riconoscendone i materiali urbani costitutivi, significa guardare allo spazio costruito al di là delle differenze di forma specifica, di linguaggio e di stile architettonico, per coglierne gli elementi che connotano profondamente gli aspetti qualitativi dell abitare e relativi alla lunga durata delle trasformazioni urbane Si tratta di osservare i modi concreti d uso dello spazio e le prestazioni che gli abitanti richiedono a seconda del materiale urbano impiegato (Infussi 2003, pp. viii-ix). The urban materials are composition units of the urban space, which we can recognize in the specific relationship between built-up and open space. Reading the urban materials of a town is a way to sound and interpret elements of the quality of its habitability. They are not a typology but a set that is a result of a survey of concrete situations: and they reveal the ways of use of the space and the performances which the inhabitants require to them.
