Resumen
The main aim of this paper is to critically reflect upon the very notion of ecological practice principles, employing recent case-study practices in order to redefine contemporary culture that may affect future architectural projects, representations and practices. The noteworthy ready-built projects in Milan, will be under investigation for their loaded or real ecological values in their own scales as well as for the city. The attempt is to reflect upon the criteria which today Milan and citizens are expecting from the two main existing camps of ecological practices; one with considerable financial and physical corporative-like scale and the other with local grassroots participatory approaches. The paper though tries to portray the critical contemporary landscape of ecological practices in today’s Milan, where binary oppositions like globalization and localization, top-down private and bottom-up participatory processes, high and low tech, artificial and natural solutions are in direct dialogue with each other.
