abstract:
The exhibition presents twelve samples of global coastal cities
– Abu Dhabi, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Marseille,
Naples, Oslo, Rijeka, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Tangier, Trieste
– illustrated through their redrawing in the manner of the New
Plan of Rome published by Giovan Battista Nolli in 1748. The
final outcome is the result of a rewriting exercise, developed
within the course of Theories and Design of the Public Space of
the Master’s Degree in Architecture at the University of Trieste.
The rewriting exercise allowed to identify and interpret different
types of space and to systematize and deepen the knowledge of
the contemporary city with respect to the urban planning
project at different scales, also in light of the objectives
of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations such as
sustainable cities and communities and the fight against climate change.
Within cities, open spaces are dynamic environments with a
long tradition in terms of design, modification and stratification.
Here, the ongoing changes in society are revealed and take
on particular emphasis. Investigating the forms, features and
devices that urban open space is equipped with, specifying its
semantic value of inclusion and exclusion in the ways of using
and being in public space, has meant critically discussing the
value and potential of the project in the contemporary city.
In light of the ongoing challenges – both climatic and
socioeconomic – and of an increasingly complex transformative
framework, the hypothesis put forward is that open spaces could
host experiences capable of reflecting on the quality and value
of contemporary urban planning, in order to define new uses and
performances in an ambitious and premonitory way.
