Administrative Disasters and Tactical Alternatives. Shigeru Ban’s Paper Concert Hall in L’Aquila

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Excerpt: «[...]Tactical urbanism is born out of a desire for gradual change, a collection of local ideas with feasible and real objectives, and a development of cooperation with public institutions. Tactical urbanism is a grassroots approach and is based on making people involved. It promotes a type of social and urban activism. The famous sentence “Fassin dibessoi!” (We’ll do it on our own!), used by the people of Friuli in the aftermath of the 1976 earthquake, was – maybe – a poetic preview of the matters discussed.»
