Il fut une époque, du XVe siècle au début du XXe, où les architectes avaient pour mission d’ennoblir les palais, les lieux de culte et les résidences des puissants en les embellissant.

La maîtrise des projections mathématiques, et de la perspective qui en découle, donnait aux artistes et aux architectes un pouvoir nouveau ; l’idéal platonicien du beau faisait accepter par tous une grammaire universelle des formes.A partir du XVIIIe siècle, les conditions se transforment : la société s’urbanise, s’industrialise et devient plus mobile : l’esthétique d’inspiration platonicienne est critiquée ; le principe du beau est désormais recherché du côté de la raison ou de l’histoire. Un compromis incarné par Jacques-Nicolas-Louis Durand est imaginé à la jointure du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècle. Il concilie la volonté d’embellissement, dont entendent désormais bénéficier les classes moyennes, avec le souci d’efficacité fonctionnelle.Cette façon de concevoir l’aménagement des villes s’efface au début du XXe siècle, au moment où s’impose le terme d’urbanisme et le programme qu’il désigne : l’amélioration des conditions de vie de tous les citadins. L’art d’ennoblir pour embellir a cependant légué à l’urbanisme de tradition européenne un rêve : celui d’harmoniser les formes bâties.

Summary:
Biomilano is a glossary of ideas - a mosaic of pieces put together by combining different ways of investigating and using the city, involving biologists, architects, agronomists, politicians and residents. Ideas, thoughts and urban lifestyle habits initially listed verbally and visually are then put together again differently to form six metropolitan frescoes. In each of which the fragments are regrouped to create a concrete vision of the city’s present and its future. It is only when you take a step back, raise your eyes and continue reading that the overall view becomes clearer and more recognizable: it is the plan of a city that potentially already exists. The book contains detailed illustrations of the six Biomilano projects – the Orto Botanico Planetario for Expo 2015, Metrobosco, Bosco Verticale , Casa Bosco, Cascine, Ruralità Urbane – using a glossary to describe the economic and territorial energies required to achieve a new balance between the urban sphere, rural areas (cultivated forms of nature) and the natural world.
