Resumen de Futuri anteriori: il tempo del progetto
In its "futural" use, the future perfect represents the past of the future. In the architectural and urban project, which imagines the future of cities and territories, a future perfect is always at stake: there is past in the future, there is future in the past. The project of a spatial transformation, always happening as a rupture in the temporal continuum, doesn't deploy an homogeneous and linear time, but rather a bundle of temporalities working according to different paces. In such a perspective the project has less to be meant as an image of a future state of the world, rather than an action orientation. The project can become an opening and a “social experimentation”, beyond the strictly technical and bureaucratic rationale, but also beyond the practice and market boundaries.
