The interest that can spring from an urban study on Mosul and from a reflection on its reconstruction does not lie in the definition of specific and local solutions, due to the emergency state in which the city lies, but rather in the possibility of operating a disciplinary self-interrogation on the needs imposed by the same process of reconstruction, to be understood neither as a temporary solution nor as an apology for reiteration or restoration. The reading we wish to propose is to include destruction (and consequent reconstruction) in the processes proper to the dynamics of cities, and therefore to promote a study of the same dynamics from which to deduce typical generative processes. Therefore, starting from a study of the context, a critical reading, up to the formation of an appropriate vocabulary, we will analyse some ways of approaching urban reconstruction through procedural and design references.

Abstract
The interest that can spring from an urban study on Mosul and from a reflection on its reconstruction does not lie in the definition of specific and local solutions, due to the emergency state in which the city lies, but rather in the possibility of operating a disciplinary self-interrogation on the needs imposed by the same process of reconstruction, to be understood neither as a temporary solution nor as an apology for reiteration or restoration. The reading we wish to propose is to include destruction (and consequent reconstruction) in the processes proper to the dynamics of cities, and therefore to promote a study of the same dynamics from which to deduce typical generative processes. Therefore, starting from a study of the context, a critical reading, up to the formation of an appropriate vocabulary, we will analyse some ways of approaching urban reconstruction through procedural and design references.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
