The symposium

The International Symposium on Temporal Design, held every two years, is an international forum for researchers interested in the Temporal Design Theory. It aims at going beyond the traditional design concepts, primarily concerned with issues of spatial design only, taking into account the temporal dimension of life too. This brings to a better blending of natural activities and human rhythms. To achieve "temporal design" one must approach design problems with knowledge of the "temporal dynamism" of the interactions between human creativity and its effects on the natural environment, and between human activities and built and natural environment. In particular, cultural development may favour a lifestyle pattern that does not attempt to go against the forces of nature. It is invaluable the contribution that this approach can give to architecture, engineering, pedagogy, psychology, and many other disciplines.

About Bologna

Piazza Maggiore is the ancient heart of Bologna. Its medieval buildings, witnesses of its vibrant public life and intense economic activity, combine with the latest functional places, while retaining their charm. A network of unique porticoes streets, that make the city unique, branches off from here. The porticos of Bologna, candidate for UNESCO world heritage, stretch out from the city center over 40 kilometers. Walking under the porticos, protected from the sun and the rain, it is possible to reach easily many important museums, galleries and religious buildings, which hold an unexpected patrimony of works of art. The University of Bologna is the oldest in Europe. The evidence of its prestigious history is spread out in many city places not to be missed. A completely unexpected surprise are the canals that date back to the twelfth century.
