Aims :

Design’s peculiarites will be investigated, starting from the discovery of the interdisciplinary necessity. The discipline’s wideness will be analyzed, with its poetic, functional and technical-constructive aspects, in a idea of synergie among the parts: theoretical idea of architecture and context.

Topics :

The theme contemporarily concerns around the conditions of living and socializing not in a historic or contemporaneous context, but in those city’s parts made functionally hybrid by transformations, contrarily to the modern urban design’s intents. Such transformations have made a lot of areas available, areas that were once decentralized in comparison to one-centered hierarchies and that now become redrawing’s occasions in the hypothesis of a new poli-centered idea.
Also the single building, more specific objective than the program, it suffers the same transformation incorporating more complex programs, expressively characterizing it in a continuity’s relationship between volume and context. The building represents the more succeeded attempt of space’s construction in which flexibility dresses again a formal role more than a conceptual one and where, varying use’s ways it assumes a different shape.
The methodological way will work around the possibilities offered by different programs and on the declination of them in the time and in the plurals living contexts .
