ABSTRACT
The current issues related to the survival of man in his environment force us to reinvent our way of inhabiting places. Our relationship to natural space, how we perceive and use it, and its relationship to living things follow these developments. How does natural space become a constituent element of urban projects, beyond that of a simply visual approach, establishing a new urban and territorial dynamic?
A possible cross-scaled approach is that of considering living things as a preliminary foundation. The living cannot be contained in simple shapes or within straight lines. It is more a question of fractal geometry than Euclidean geometry. Our role is therefore not to preserve a particular state but to stimulate processes for a constructive interaction between natural spaces and urban spaces. Natural spaces are therefore to be considered as a moving ecosystem, hosting a choreography with several participants, revealing shared, fragile, and ephemeral rhythms and trajectories, an extraordinary reservoir of life, a zone of protection for humanity. This is what this chapter will attempt to demonstrate.
