Abstract

Immersed in a more complex contemporary context, the architect finds himself a man who draws for and with his immediate city. His line has been variable, sometimes unexpected, changing and often erratic. The city itself has become a source of new utopias, but them all are difficult for their own authorship. The new city where we live has called us into the abyss of the immediate front of all the past, the local face of all the global and the unpredictable against everything planned. The city then finds itself as the best laboratory to propose more city and more ideas. Our look has been directed to this new city, making ours the look of Bosch in his “Garden of Earthly Delights”. The city, in its “wanting to be”, is now the City of Ideas. And the architects, in a new look, aspire to inhabit the Garden of Ideas in order to do with them the Next. A new set of looks, which is what the architect has always built, and which are now focused on a real and changing city: the city in which we look, to ourselves.
