Abstract
Reconstruction after traumatic events is an increasingly important issue in architecture, due to the unprecedented scale with which the destruction of the built environment occurs; the consequence for the discipline is the need to reflect on the identity of the city, its meaning and possible strategies for its maintenance. Rather than starting from an a-contextual datum, the case of the city of Mosul will be the pretext to identify methodological criteria for a strategic recovery plan. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between the monuments and the city, identifying in this connection a key issue to investigate the generative dynamics of a place and therefore the sense of the city. The relationship with the physical/natural datum and the historical/cultural one will be considered as an essential element of comparison to give to the monument the strength to be able to affect the city transformation process.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
