How we will live together?

The City and Territory course entitled “How we will live together?” (titled borrowed from the 17th Venice Architecture Biennial held in 2021) of the Turin Polytechnic’s Bachelor of Architecture degree was an opportunity to build and test a working group of researchers and students who would spend four months discussing the question of a project marking the transition from multiculturalism to ‘multi-naturalism’, as Eduardo Viveiro de Castro suggested in the 2020 Taipei Biennial. It was an opportunity to construct a new narrative of the city of Turin that overlaps climatic aspects, environ- mental resources, urban practices, and spatial characteristics. The question at the core of the course was: how can we learn, map, and analyse something that is not human, and how can this become the subject of a territorial project that puts coexistence at the centre of its agenda. The aim of this paper is therefore to analyse the experiences made within the course that tried to trace design strat- egies that emerged from an unprecedented reading of the city.
