Critica della critica della ragione progettuale

Roberto Dionigi, architettura e progetto

Abstract

In Western modernity, the category of “project”, that is, a relation between a subject and the construction of their future, has been central to the political sphere. In this paper, this centrality will be discussed by way of the field of architecture, where the project, or projectual reason, is arguably the specific movement of architectural “doing”. The article will thus try to consider this category critically from an architectural and political perspective vis-à-vis its productivity and planning power. In particular, the metaphysical presupposition at play within the project will be examined starting from the recent “Critica della Ragione Progettuale” of architects Armando and Durbiano, against the background of the critique philosopher Roberto Dionigi formulated of the Marxian revolutionary project.
