The theme of Urban Geographies investigates the attempt – on large scale – to offer project’s suggestions and guidelines through the relationship with the signs of the territory but also through the reinterpretation of historical traces, tradition and identity of the places.
These readings become project-material ready made good to be manipulated, in the aim of a merger between urban planning, landscape and architecture, even in a social perspective. In this sense, the formative role of geographic data, the morphology of the urban and natural landscape, the archaeological layers, deep topographical patterns, appear stimulant for the project approach.
In reference to the anonymity of the International Style architecture and the nostalgic architectural formalism – highly valued today in much of the world – this approach contrasts with architecture linked to the landscape and the cultural context, suggesting typological and technological advanced solutions, considering local architecture, capable of fully interpreting the extraordinary specificity of context.
