 ic\, Prof.Antonio Di Campli\nTen years ago\, EPFL's Laboratory of Urbanism
  proposed horizontality as a critical lens for urban theory and practice. 
 Since then\, the concept has grown substantially richer through theoretica
 l traditions developed across Europe and beyond.\nThis year's seminar revi
 sits horizontality not as a closed paradigm\, but as a mode of critical en
 gagement with the socio-political\, ecological\, and economic processes of
  urbanization. It is approached as a historical\, ideological\, conceptual
 \, and political question — one intersecting with territorial redistribu
 tion\, accessibility\, solidarity\, and spatial justice amid deep socio-ec
 ological transformation. Neither purely top-down nor bottom-up\, horizonta
 lity invites reflection on spatial organization\, territorial governance\,
  and the conflicts shaping contemporary urbanization.\nRather than repeati
 ng critiques of vertical power and growth-oriented urbanization\, the semi
 nar aims to pluralize perspectives on horizontality as an open concept —
  one capable of generating new rationalities and spatial imaginaries for f
 uture design and socio-political agendas.
