Abstract
Today we have many new tools for increasing the knowledge of cities:multimedia informatic systems; 3D reconstructions, and the so-called Web3.0. We can observe every point of the globe but the enormous quantity ofdata leaves us without the memory of places that are useful for the comprehensionof the phenomena.The virtual city, or the labyrinth of the perception, reveals itself onlywhen observed from the sky, while we are wearing Daedalus’ wings or potentlenses of a satellite?The challenge of our days, maybe, is to design critical structures able togive an organic and well define vision of the city. Only in this way will it bepossible to define a city as a specific “Place”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
