7th Bernardo Secchi Working Seminar 
Space, life, and politics. Counter-projects and the Socio-Ecological Transition


HRC is pleased to launch the call for contributions to select participants for the 7th edition of the international Bernardo Secchi Working seminar. An international, interdisciplinary forum initiated by HRC and the Fondation Braillard Architectes in 2015, the Bernardo Secchi Working Seminar addresses key urban and regional issues for ecological transition amid the climate crisis.
Delving into the interplay between socio-ecological Transition and radical adaptations in urban design practices, policies, and projects, the seminar aims to unravel the inherent tensions in navigating these complex dynamics.

The seminar aims to share, challenge, and delve into the hypothesis that a Transition project demands a distinct epistemological and operational framework. As the social and ecological Transition shapes a novel “biopolitical regime”, now is the opportune moment to contemplate alternative initiatives—counter-projects.

The 2024 seminar will delve into concerns such as socio-spatial conflicts, strategies for mitigating climate change, counteracting its impacts, and the emergence of new ecologies in modern urbanised regions the 2024 seminar will delve into concerns such as socio-spatial conflicts, strategies for mitigating climate change, counteracting its impacts, and the emergence of new ecologies in modern urbanised regions.
