Architectural and Urban Analysis

Rome is the result of historical stratification and the setting of different urban forms. These parts of the city coexist in a formidable "collage" as defined by Colin Rowe. The city is therefore an interesting case study for the anlysis and comprehension of the urban complex and of the architecture. The aim of the course is to investigate into the transformations of the urban order and space. The lectures will focus on an historical reading of the city and on contemporary urban theories.
