Pablo Sendra
Professore, architetto e Urban Designer
Il disordine non prevede forme disordinate, ma è come progettiamo per l’imprevedibile, per fare in modo che le cose succedano.
Pablo Sendra ha trasformato il disordine in opportunità: abbiamo scoperto piazze, quartieri e intere città vive, nate da movimenti spontanei che si sono riappropriati dello spazio con soluzioni creative e collettive. In questo contesto, il ruolo dell’architetto è accendere la miccia di questo attivismo, intervenendo negli spazi “chiusi” con micro-interventi che favoriscano l’aggregazione spontanea e lascino spazio all’imprevisto.
