“…Il ruolo del design tecnologico nel processo di transizione energetica è connotato, pertanto, da una doppia valenza, tangibile e intangibile, di progetto e di processo, che proietta l'innovazione verso una dimensione flessibile e adattiva. La scarsità di risorse cui questo approccio progettuale tende non si limita a fornire soluzioni in materia di energia rinnovabile, ma a innescare processi di auto-determinazione nell'uso e nella gestione di tali risorse, rafforzando il concetto di città e spazio urbano come bene comune (Errante, 2019). La discussione sull'integrazione del design tecnologico in tali processi di gestione condivisa e autoproduzione è oggi inderogabile e corrisponde alla necessità di consentire alle comunità, in modo democratico e orizzontale, di orientare la transizione energetica del proprio spazio di vita, dalla casa al quartiere, secondo i propri strumenti e possibilità.…”

“…The role of technological design in the energy transition process has a double valence, tangible and intangible, of design and process, projecting inno-vation towards a flexible and adaptive dimension. The scarcity of resources addressed by this design approach is not limited to providing renewable energy solutions but to triggering selfdetermination processes to use and manage such resources, reinforcing the concept of the city and urban space as a common good (Errante, 2019). The discussion on the integration of technological design in such processes of shared management and self-determination is now imperative, and embraces the need to enable communities, both democratically and horizontally, to direct the energy transition of their living space from the home to the neighborhood, according to their tools and possibilities.…”

In the contemporary context of the polycrisis, ways and criteria for sustainable urban transformation are discussed that shift the needle of ecological transition from building to city, towards energy self-sufficiency and social self-determination. Alternative forms of management, containment and production of clean and accessible energy from renewable sources are explored that have feedback in terms of process, design and social innovation. The paper aims to highlight the active and adaptive dimensions of technological design in its ability to support and promote behaviour favouring sustainable environmental transition.

The environmental quality of the modern city is a central issue in the Italian and international design debate. The pandemic and the perspective of a post-pandemic phase have accelerated the inevitable transformation of the living spaces—indoor and outdoor, urban and domestic—bringing out renewed awareness and new quality requirements. The need to achieve results to limit energy consumption, reduce polluting emissions, promote less land consumption, and conditions of urban resilience is becoming gradually urgent, according to European and national strategic, political and regulatory indications. Space quality requirements, which correspond to different conditions of quality of living, are generally identified in the physical and social accessibility of places and dwellings, in the production and availability of energy from renewable sources, in the availability of green public spaces, and in the opportunity to carry out leisure and sports activities. The paper investigates the transformation of public residential neighbourhoods, highlighting urban and technological design opportunities within the paradigm of eco-district and biophilic urbanism. Two case studies within the INA CASA Plan in Reggio Calabria—Sbarre Inferiori and San Brunello—will be the object of analysis and meta-design transformation scenarios to test with green quality requirements. The scenarios aim to explore microclimatic improvements for the districts, the redefinition of outdoor spaces, the implementations of technologies for clean energy production, and the containment of resources consumption. The object of the contribution goes towards principles of health and well-being of the communities, recognising the urban risk factors implicated in the global pandemic and the need to restore the existing building stock and residential estates. Eventually, the paper suggests a framework of actions, green technologies, and design options to manage those environmental concerns.
