In this chapter, CrossMED 2024 -Volume 3 is introduced as an interdisciplinary scholarly intervention to reposition the Mediterranean as a living laboratory to study interrelationships between heritage, innovation, and sustainability. Moving beyond the traditional conceptualization of the region as a fixed archive of the past, the chapter imagines Mediterranean as a multi-layered territorial palimpsest, which has been constituted by historical accretion, ecological change and the production of social-spatial practices. In this sense, the volume seeks to combine archaeological, architectural, environmental engineering, and landscape planning perspectives on how the Mediterranean landscapes can be used to develop more adaptive, resilient, and inclusive futures. Based on case studies of the archaeological and agrarian landscapes of Basilicata and the Upper Bradano Valley and emergent ideas of floating urbanism, the chapter shows how both the land and sea provide new opportunities to sustainable design and living. It claims that innovation in the Mediterranean is not only to be seen in technological terms, but also as a cultural, ecological and participatory process. The special focus is made on the conflicts between development of renewable energy, heritage conservation and landscape integrity, and the necessity of co-evolutionary and community-oriented planning strategies. The argument also stretches to the floating cities as an experimental way of dealing with climatic changes, with modularity, energy independence, and shared life redefining the Mediterranean tradition of urban life, in new environmental conditions. Through all these various contributions, resilience stands out as the critical analytical and ethical imperative that connects the past settlement logics to the spatial transformation that is geared towards the future. The chapter comes up with a conclusion that sustainable Mediterranean modernity rests on methodological pluralism, regenerative design and participatory governance that eventually places the region as a key location to redefine the ecology/culture/spatial innovativeness intersection in the Anthropocene.

摘要

In this chapter, CrossMED 2024 -Volume 3 is introduced as an interdisciplinary scholarly intervention to reposition the Mediterranean as a living laboratory to study interrelationships between heritage, innovation, and sustainability. Moving beyond the traditional conceptualization of the region as a fixed archive of the past, the chapter imagines Mediterranean as a multi-layered territorial palimpsest, which has been constituted by historical accretion, ecological change and the production of social-spatial practices. In this sense, the volume seeks to combine archaeological, architectural, environmental engineering, and landscape planning perspectives on how the Mediterranean landscapes can be used to develop more adaptive, resilient, and inclusive futures. Based on case studies of the archaeological and agrarian landscapes of Basilicata and the Upper Bradano Valley and emergent ideas of floating urbanism, the chapter shows how both the land and sea provide new opportunities to sustainable design and living. It claims that innovation in the Mediterranean is not only to be seen in technological terms, but also as a cultural, ecological and participatory process. The special focus is made on the conflicts between development of renewable energy, heritage conservation and landscape integrity, and the necessity of co-evolutionary and community-oriented planning strategies. The argument also stretches to the floating cities as an experimental way of dealing with climatic changes, with modularity, energy independence, and shared life redefining the Mediterranean tradition of urban life, in new environmental conditions. Through all these various contributions, resilience stands out as the critical analytical and ethical imperative that connects the past settlement logics to the spatial transformation that is geared towards the future. The chapter comes up with a conclusion that sustainable Mediterranean modernity rests on methodological pluralism, regenerative design and participatory governance that eventually places the region as a key location to redefine the ecology/culture/spatial innovativeness intersection in the Anthropocene.
