The City the beginning and end of architecture

Building architecture means giving the places of a city a formal definition, based on a principle of order corresponding to whatever meaning and value these places possess. Architecture and city are therefore inseparable concepts; think loss of meaning and purpose of the architecture itself. Bearing this in mind, we might call composition, the appropriate design tool, urban composition. Two projects related to a similar theme but different contexts within the city of Milan set out to show the need to start by designing a place to define the urban composition principles that the design of the individual works of architecture will be based on.
