The volume, which gathers reflections on the theme of the city intended as a field of experimentation, provides an updated overview on doctoral (PhD) and post-doctoral research in Architectural Technology, and offers wide-ranging theoretical insights as well as a broad range of specialized applications. The environmental approach, which welcomes suggestions from the surrounding areas, enhancing their "material culture", shows the common trait on which many of the research topics presented here are based.

Il volume, che raccoglie riflessioni intorno al tema della città, intesa come campo di sperimentazione, traccia un panorama aggiornato della ricerca dottorale e post-dottorale in Tecnologia dell’Architettura, da cui traspare la volontà di offrire spunti teorici di ampio respiro e, contemporaneamente, testimoniare una vasta gamma di applicazioni specialistiche. Nell’approccio ambientale, che accoglie i suggerimenti dei territori valorizzandone la "cultura materiale", appare il tratto comune sul quale sono impostate molte delle tematiche di ricerca qui esposte.
