The aim of the space in between in Naples

The paper proposes the study of a part of Naples, the Spanish Quarter, advancing spatial considerations that have taken advantage from the analysis methodology and representation by Uwe Schröder, Professor of RWTH at University of Aachen in Germany. This methods approach, using red and blue colors, applied an interpretative classification of the urban space where red defines the 'hot' spaces, while the blue the 'cold' ones. This method supposes different levels on different scales: the wide scale identifies the relationship with the territorial systems of the study area; the intermediate scale defines urban ‘inclusive’ spaces and ‘exclusive’ individual ones; the urban typological scale, finally, proposes a further classification of the spaces deepening and specifying the ‘inclusive’ and the ‘exclusive’ character of the space. The analitical operation, in general, intend to reflect on the quality of the space in between scale that is the relationship between“built and unbuilt objects, territory and settlements, settlements and communal built environment, public and private places and spaces, and private and intimate spaces” as requested and on the capability that the same space has in terms of new relations and new possible arrangements.
