No artigo “What if… “Form followed Life”?” publicado no Blogue SHIFT, Olivia Bina (ICS-ULisboa) aborda a importância de renegociar as relações entre seres humanos e a natureza, especialmente no urbanismo, e divulga o concurso internacional ‘FORM FOLLOWS LIFE’.

As inscrições estão abertas até ao dia 31 de Agosto!

“There is some progress making its way through the fractures of dominant modes of citymaking: the quest for “renaturing” cities and the demand for new, positive visions of urban futures that might usher a new human-built environment-nature relationships. However, we need much more: bold, generous visions of the urban form beyond human-centred perspectives.

This is precisely what we set out to contribute to by launching a worldwide crowd-sourcing experiment: ‘FORM FOLLOWS LIFE REINVENTING CITIES’.”
