Abstract

Starting with a Vittorio Gregotti interview titled “the green hypocrisy of star-architects”, this paper focuses on real opportunities represented by “Smart city” as the theme of an architectural research more aware of its own role but also more capable of accepting contemporary challenges. Research that is not seduced by fashion slogans and does not escape into universal certainties and abstract utopias.
