A Better City: Geography of Power or Ecology of Responsibility?

The paper discusses a design strategy based on the structure of responsibility. This structure generates the use of Hidden Compositional Codes for cities and the concept of a Dialogic Design — ideas that are the subjects of research projects developed in cooperation with undergraduate design studio participants. The papers concludes in a design method discussion about the possible shift from political solutions ruled by the geography of power that generate the conservative quality of a compromise, towards ethical definitions organized by the ecology of responsibility that may generate new, yet unknown, qualities.
