Abstract

The study investigates the possibility of developing infrastructure in Trieste, as a larger system, on an international scale: The Belt and Road Initiative. The consequences of this development, in a city rich of research facilities and innovation centers, are innovative and propose new questions on the evolution of architecture and of landscapes linked to logistics and infrastructure and on the material and spatial consequences of digitalization. The research defines a set of specific possible project proposals, compatible or alternative to one another, but that once analyzed, they all underline how mankind seems progressively emarginated from these places. The architecture of the physical and immaterial infrastructures begins to light a new question, how its nature can appear both, anthropic and unrecognizably alien. It is about elements that are creating a real ecosystem at the global scale, essential to the maintenance of our way of life, but with respect to which we have become strangers.
