The essay “The urban project as a project of modification” focuses on three different aspects: the architecture as a disciplinary corpus of spatial composition of the space, the city as Carlo Cattaneo describes it, as: "the principle of all histories" and finally the definition following the concept of creativity, as modification of the existing (Vittorio Gregotti). This triad of key words - that has connoted the title of the Summer School, edition 2014 - reflects on the relationship that has been developed in the twentieth century between architectural design and urban planning, but above all concentrating on a possible new relationship in response to the growing needs of the cities and searching the answers that are appropriate with the need for transformation.

Abstract

The essay “The urban project as a project of modification” focuses on three different aspects: the architecture as a disciplinary corpus of spatial composition of the space, the city as Carlo Cattaneo describes it, as: "the principle of all histories" and finally the definition following the concept of creativity, as modification of the existing (Vittorio Gregotti). This triad of key words - that has connoted the title of the Summer School, edition 2014 - reflects on the relationship that has been developed in the twentieth century between architectural design and urban planning, but above all concentrating on a possible new relationship in response to the growing needs of the cities and searching the answers that are appropriate with the need for transformation.
