Abstract
"During the past several years we have learnt a lot about the transformation processes of contemporary cities under globalization pressures. But what is the impact of these forces on territories, beyond the clear gravitational fields of metropolitan centers? To answer this question, this year we ventured into the territory between Rome and the Adriatic coast, looking for its specific forms of urbanisation. The project continues the ETH Studio Basel’s territorial researches in Switzerland (1999-2005) and the Nile Valley (2009), both clearly showing ways in which densely populated environments develops toward new types of urban spaces: traditional natural or rural areas turn into urbanised territories characterized by a multilayered occupation of landscape, overlapping structures and meanings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
