El 21 de noviembre de 2022 se ha celebrado el workshop internacional Thinking the Space, <\/em>reuniendo en Madrid a expertos de filosof\u00eda de la mente y de las ciencias cognitivas, expertos en psicolog\u00eda ecol\u00f3gica y en arquitectura, para enfocar la relaci\u00f3n existente entre espacios urbanos y cognici\u00f3n. El workshop ha sido organizado por nuestro compa\u00f1ero Francesco Consiglio<\/a> (UGR – FiloLab\/UAM) y Jes\u00fas Vega (UAM), contando con los siguientes ponentes: Erik Rietveld (U. Amsterdam); Manuel Heras Escribano<\/a> (U. Granada – FiloLab); Francesco Consiglio (U. Granada – FiloLab \/ UAM); Vicente Raja (U. Murcia); Federico de Matteis (U. L\u2019Aquila).<\/p>\n

\u00abIn recent years, a renovated interest for the space and its affordances has arisen in the research on human cognition. Both philosophers and cognitive scientists have stressed the relevance of material supports for human cognitive dynamics arguing for a scaffolded dimension of the mind. In this context, some theorists have proposed a Material Engagement Theory, some others have contributed to the debate with the Skilled Intentionality Framework. In particular, the Skilled Intentionality Framework has been applied to the urban context, with a central focus on the public domain and its social relevance: \u00abA public domain is a place where people from different socio-cultural groups can meet and sometimes actually do meet [\u2026] This important topic forces architects and urban designers to consider the fact that they shape more than just the physical environment \u2014 to a certain extent they also bear responsibility for the role that their designs have in shaping social reality\u00bb (Rietveld, Rietveld, and Martens 2019, p. 303). This research on how people relate themselves to the urban space rises important questions about the evolutive dynamics of urban spaces, the management of the public space and its aesthetical and ethical relevance for the community. Also, recent studies have connected the use of public space in the city to the emergence of a \u2018sense of identity\u2019 of the community living there.<\/p>\n

Considering this background, the central question of this workshop is how the environment (and, especially, the urban environment) supports and influences our cognition. In particular, do the architectonical structures give us a determinate perception of the space in our neighbourhood? Do these architectonical structures influence how we use the space and the related idea of social life that we develop? How the urban design and the urban development planning can afford a \u2018model of the world\u2019 to the agents who inhabit that space, how these factors can shape their values (not just \u2018how the world is\u2019 but also \u2018how the world should be\u2019)? In sum, can a certain \u2018usability\u2019 of the architectonical structures (and, in general, the space) of a city or a neighbourhood implement a determinate narrative for the community that inhabits that space?\u00bb<\/p>\n
