Once upon a time (many years ago), in the western culture, the relationship between man and nature was a relationship of opposition and difference: from one side there was the world of nature, which its own laws, its seasons, its freedom. On the other side there was the world of architecture with its devices, its technologies, its permanent languages.
Today this difference is overcome: we live in a world where there is no longer a real difference between nature and man-made; everything is mixed, hybrid, ambiguous. A world where industrial technologies have become a second nature, closely bound to the first one; we live inside a society based on a concept of abnormal normality; we are plunged in a nature that has become unnatural.
This all is a great loss, but also an exciting novelty.
