Abstract

Climate change is producing a radical mutation in the world of design, inviting designers to change their attitude from designers of the present to facilitators of the future, placing them before the challenge of planning the unexpected of a territorial structure that we know will change drastically, but in ways not actually foreseeable. The following research focuses on this change of attitude, probing the attention on the issue of sea level rise through a compositional and design exploration. If technical solutions such as dams and resistant waterfront are activated on one side, on the other it is necessary to identify coexistence strategies with the variation of the sea, especially for those peripheral areas where it is not possible to foresee heavy infrastructure investments. The challenge is to imagine new aquatic landscapes of the future, to create both the basis for dialogue and a reference tool for change. The Po river delta, as many other peripheral areas, is in this case a perfect case study to analyse how the adaptation to those peripherical territories can be designed.
