Description
This conference will delve into the complex nature of urban environments, exploring a wide spectrum of topics. The discussion will range from the multiscalarity of cities—examining how urban phenomena operate and can be understood across different scales, from the intimate detail of a street corner to the vastness of a metropolitan region—to their fundamental constitution as anthropogeographical forms. This perspective frames the city as a dynamic morphology, a physical shape continuously moulded by human activity, and as a palimpsest, where historical layers remain visible and influential beneath contemporary developments. A central theme will be the investigation of how history becomes physically manifested in the urban fabric, through its architecture, layout, and spatial organisation.The ultimate aim of this exploration is to move beyond theoretical discussion and provide architects, planners, and designers with robust tools for both analysis and synthesis. These conceptual instruments are intended to empower professionals to effectively interpret the intricate realities of cities and to thoughtfully address pressing contemporary urban design issues.
