Urban Corporis. The city within

This pamphlet brings together the contribu- tions of architects, researchers and artists from all over the world. The common ground of di- scussion is the city analyzed in its less explo- red “folds” becoming the ground for experi- mentation and research. The work is divided into three parts: Theories - Report - Visions. The three categories bring together authors who have had, in their specificity, a reading experience of the city belonging to a similar field of action. The Theories part has a theoretical approach overlapping with an operative study of pos- sible interventions in the urban fabric; an hi- storical analysis seems to play a key role in all theses. The Report focuses on the residual spaces of the city; the relationship between art and ar- chitecture seems to be the solution of this spa- tial rebus, even if it leads to always different results. Visions is a collection of future projections, fast images and critical readings of the city. Through drawings, photomontages and pho- tographs we tried to expose the most signifi- cant aspects of different urban situations. These materials together do not want to give solutions but they want to ask new questions, being conscious that curisioty remains neces- sary for any kind of progress.
