COMPACT CITY
In the last
edition of the Festival of Architecture, Bologna hosted the first occasion for public
debate on the 2013 Spinner research programme for projects of regional
importance, which involved various personalities from the academic and
technical-administrative worlds operational in that territorial basin consisting
of the 10 provincial capital cities of the Emilia Romagna Region assumed as a context
for applied analysis that included Forlė. And this year it is none other than
Forlė, mindful of the first considerations of a methodological and analytical/applicative
type that emerged during the last edition of the Festival, to pick up the
thematic theme undertaken, by presenting the second state of progress of the
Spinner Research. The objective being to define a new structural attitude of
the urban body in crisis; space, not understood generically but selected
through factors of accessibility, visibility and usability that qualify it as a
centrality in a city where physical continuity between the parts still endures,
and interpreted as a primary resource in the context of a densification by
architectural types close to a "social condenser". To this end, with a
European outlook, the research is heading towards the preparation of new
architectural models that are bearers of a "centrality effect" and are
replicable until they become "theatrically multifaceted" in the sense
of a set of forms interdependent upon one another, in other words, a system in
the urban scene of the futurist compact city in contrast to the current
phenomenon of the sprawling dispersed city.
