Abstract

L’articolo propone un approccio umanistico al progetto architettonico, ponendo le persone al centro del processo di concezione. Comprendere il modo in cui lo spazio influenza il comportamento, le emozioni e le attività delle persone dovrebbe essere il punto di partenza del progetto. Ciò implica una riflessione sui mezzi con i quali lo spazio trasmette significati connotativi e denotativi. Le tecniche per raccogliere informazioni dagli utenti e per includere tali informazioni nel progetto sono state analizzate per evidenziare i vantaggi e i problemi del mettere in pratica tale approccio umanistico. La discussione finale è focalizzata sulla possibile perdita di autonomia del progettista, sulla tempistica dell’introduzione dei dati derivati dagli utenti e sulle conseguenze dell’inclusione di tali dati nelle normali pratiche progettuali.
