The University of Bologna's Doctoral Course in Architecture and Project Cultures students (XXXVII cycle) are pleased to invite all interested parties to the International Conference "LEAVING NOTHING BEHIND", for a conversation thinking outside the box and beyond borders to define new interactions between project cultures and other disciplines.
The Conference is divided into three tracks that will investigate and debate various problems of inclusivity, justice, and non-discrimination:

1. Leaving NO DATA behind, which refers to the long-term implementation of emerging technologies as inclusive solutions for future data access, management, and preservation;
2. Leaving NO LANDSCAPE behind, which addresses issues of spatial justice and environmental justice, as well as the protection and enhancement of cultural and natural heritage;
3. Leaving NO SPECIES behind, proposing new ways to co-design relationships between human and nonhuman worlds.
 
The Conference will be held on 1st December 2023.
The participation to the LBN Conference is possible both in-person, at Sala Tassinari, Piazza Maggiore 6, 40121, Bologna, IT and Online, via Zoom.

Il gruppo di ricerca lavora da diverso tempo sul tema dell’importanza degli spazi verdi in città, delle loro funzioni e dei loro servizi per la salute e il benessere dei cittadini.

Per questo motivo, ci stiamo interrogando su come la chiusura dello spazio verde pubblico e la sfida di una nuova mobilità, presentatesi con forza nelle nostre città a causa della crisi sanitaria che stiamo vivendo, possano o meno aver cambiato la percezione dei cittadini riguardo il ruolo del verde in città.

Il seguente questionario è stato sviluppato all'interno di una ricerca di dottorato del Dipartimento di Architettura dell'Università di Bologna sul ruolo degli spazi verdi in città e fa seguito ad un sondaggio effettuato ad Aprile 2020 in piena fase di lockdown.

La partecipazione è assolutamente volontaria e il questionario non prenderà più di 5 minuti del vostro tempo. Ci impegneremo a pubblicare al più presto aggiornamenti su questo sito e a tenervi aggiornati sui risultati della ricerca.
