An increasing majority of the world's population (of over 6 billion
people) inhabits, and will further inhabit, the urban realm. To remain
relevant and effective in society, the architect today must not only
be a creative designer and thinker, but must also be willing and able
to address questions of the urban, to think and work in both the scales
of the building and the city. Regardless of where on the globe or
when in history, the space of the city is deeply related to its architecture.
Perhaps nowhere else is this more evident than in Rome, a city that
exemplifies the dense, urban-fabric conditions typical of European
cities. In such a place as Rome, the space of the city is undeniably
a real and material thing; it is matter for architecture.
Rome is the quintessential sedimentary city, a paradigm of the accumulation
of urban fabric as well as ideas and strategies about its development.
In this lecture series, Rome, seen as a model of the modern-contemporary
European city - and therefore comparable with other remarkable examples-,
will be observed from the point of view of infrastructure. By infrastructure,
it is meant both the elements of infrastructure that organize and
service the city, but also the way in which architectural strategies
can impart upon and organize the future of the city as a contemporary,
but still modern, metropolis.
