Abstract
This paper focuses on the city’s ability to preserve the ‘signs’ of its evolutionary process. The latter may be characterized by spontaneous growth or, on the contrary, by planned interventions. A structuralphenomenological reading is able to provide the exact interpretation of these ‘signs’ and to understand the complexity of the urban organisms in the connections between spontaneous buildings. The reading of Ferrara’s urban tissues allow us to understand an important number of these ‘signs’, in the routes layout (matrix routes, planned building routes, connecting routes, break through routes), in the connected pertinent areas and in the drain channels. The interpretation of these phenomena must begin by understanding the whole urban organism. Through investigation it will reveal its individual elements which find value in the mutual relations between them and in their sum.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
