Culture and creativity in incorporeal cities. Designing collective creative bodies

In the visual and performing arts, the body and its representation have always been assumed as a parameter for measuring space, crystallizing presence, and sublimating the body in time. In design cultures, the body becomes raw material for constructing relationships between cultural-social content and the spaces and objects (material or immaterial) that preserve the trace of this relationship. Today, design, creativity, and cultural and creative industries are listed among the drivers that can drive the contemporary phase of uncertainty and crisis. The contribution moves from the research question about how much can policies, design processes, cultural and creative practices and events contribute to create responses to the need for continuous adaptation of people in the cities.
