Architecture
heteronomous discipline

Themes, actors, dialogue

Parma, Emilia Romagna, Italy - May 27, 2022

Architecture as a "heteronomous" discipline was reflected upon at the Communication Studies and Archives Center - CSAC at the University of Parma.

In times of the hybridization of knowledge and interpenetration of disciplines, the act of analyzing the role of architecture through the filter of its "autonomy" or "heteronomy" facilitates the understanding of current trends, fostering the actualization of fragments of a debate carved into our culture and tradition. The term "heteronomy," used as opposed to "autonomy," from Kant onward has taken on a positive value connected to the mutual respect between reason and creativity, between exact science and empirical approach, between contamination and isolation, and introduces whenever the social value of its existence.
The study day Architecture Heteronomous Discipline - Themes, Actors, Dialogues aimed to "break through" the fortification often raised by architecture in order to make it a paradigmatic discipline of the art of dialogue.

The day was sponsored by: Politecnico di Milano, University of Parma, Csac_Centro Studi della Comunicazione, City of Parma and realized with the contribution of the Department of Architecture, Construction Engineering and Built Environment (DABC) of the Politecnico di Milano and USM modular furniture.
