In the Corner. Buildings on a Corner Plot

Corner plot Building represent one of the many elements of city’s complexity. They can be regarded as the evidence of rigor and repetition in an ancient grid or they can embody the exception, the deformation or the uniqueness within the urban fabric. Empty as eroded by parking lot or dense and compact as occupied by a vertical stacked up mixed use artifact, the parcel issued by roads intersections speaks the language of urban morphology, aggregation rules, typological collage. Buildings situated in corner plots rely on scale and size procedures, on perspective and vanishing point obsessive control, to emphasize their position, their tectonic and programs, to seduce and draw attention to their singular role within the urban fabric.
