RIGENERAZIONE CLIMATICA GREEN DEGLI STREETSCAPES L’esperienza di De Urbanisten ad Anversa | Green climate-adaptive streetscapes regeneration – The De Urbanisten Experience in Antwerp

The contribution aims to explore the theme of complexity in relation to some of the currentand urgent challenges of our time. Reflecting on trans-disciplinarity in architecture meansventuring into uncertain territory: architecture employs hybrid ways of understanding reality,bridging scientific and non-scientific knowledge, as well as theoretical and practical insights.The paper introduces an ongoing research about nature-based climate-adaptive streetscapeapplied in the City of Matera, focusing on the role of research-driven design processes inurban regeneration. Inside this theoretical and operational framework, the paper reflectsupon the crucial contribution of the globally Dutch architectural Studio De Urbanisten andits spatial approach to contemporary complexity, with a focus on climate adaptation andnature inclusivity. In this regard, the paper discusses the ongoing Research by design ex-perimentation for the Belgian City of Antwerp, which resulted in a global Masterplan and apilot project currently under implementation
