In Aswan, the infrastructure (High Dam) has created a radical transformation of the territory, contributing to one hand to controlling the geography of the region, with the related social and economic benefits, but on the other hand to the destruction of the landscape and the settlements. While keeping the technical aspects of the infrastructure unchanged, our project idea is focused on regenerating the environmental quality of the ecological system rather than proposing a settlement design for the territory. It is necessary to learn how to use these geographical forms, ecologies that are very different one from each other, learning to look at them in order to be able to accommodate their transformations. For this precise reason our 3 ecologies: the desert, the river and the infrastructure must not establish a relationship of interdependence but they must maintain their own autonomy to mix in an unplanned and uncontrolled way.

Abstract
In Aswan, the infrastructure (High Dam) has created a radical transformation of the territory, contributing to one hand to controlling the geography of the region, with the related social and economic benefits, but on the other hand to the destruction of the landscape and the settlements. While keeping the technical aspects of the infrastructure unchanged, our project idea is focused on regenerating the environmental quality of the ecological system rather than proposing a settlement design for the territory. It is necessary to learn how to use these geographical forms, ecologies that are very different one from each other, learning to look at them in order to be able to accommodate their transformations. For this precise reason our 3 ecologies: the desert, the river and the infrastructure must not establish a relationship of interdependence but they must maintain their own autonomy to mix in an unplanned and uncontrolled way.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
