Book Description
Ludovico Quaroni, a native Roman, was a master of Italian architecture during the second half of the twentieth century; his talent contributed to the education – in addition to the majority of the younger generations of architects in Italy – of Carlo Aymonino, Manfredo Tafuri and Antonino Terranova. He also constituted one of the fundamental references to the elaboration of Aldo Rossi’s theories on the city. An architect and urban planner, professor and author, Quaroni represents the most open and inclusive methodological and linguistic experimentalism and the most progressive identity of modern Italian architecture, founded on the close relationship between historic culture, social and contextual awareness, a scientific understanding of design and a passionate investigation of the future; courageous and unbridled. In adopting his name for the review presented today, the Scientific Society intends to return to the discussion of the Architecture of Cities at a time when methodologies, technologies, relationships between the scales of design, the formal and symbolic meanings and languages of the city, everything about which modern Western urban culture appeared certain, now appear overrun by the vertiginous nature of the most rapid and imposing urban expansion in human history, sweeping across both ancient and new continents.

Book Description
International openness is one of the fundamental characteristics of the DiAP Department of Architecture and Design, which sees its members active in 57 bilateral collaboration agreements (without counting the Erasmus agreements) with countries in which today there is a demand for architectural design that looks at Italy as a model, not only for studies of historical architecture, but also for contemporary architecture designed in the existing city and for the new building, including complex landscape and environmental systems.

Book Description
Ludovico Quaroni, romano, è stato un maestro dell’architettura italiana nella seconda parte del secolo scorso; il suo magistero ha contribuito a formare – oltre a tanta parte delle più giovani generazioni di architetti del nostro paese – Carlo Aymonino, Manfredo Tafuri, Antonino Terranova ed ha costituito uno dei fondamentali riferimenti dell’elaborazione teorica di Aldo Rossi sulla città. Architetto e urbanista, docente e scrittore, Quaroni rappresenta lo sperimentalismo metodologico e linguistico più aperto e inclusivo, la parte più progressiva dell’identità dell’architettura italiana moderna, fondata su uno stretto rapporto tra cultura storica, sensibilità sociale e contestuale, perizia scientifica del progetto e appassionata ispezione del futuro; coraggiosa, senza freni. Adottando il suo nome, dunque, la Società Scientifica, con la rivista che qui presentiamo, intende riprendere la discussione sull’Architettura delle Città in un momento nel quale metodologie, tecnologie, rapporti tra le scale di progettazione, significati e linguaggi formali e simbolici delle città, tutto ciò di cui la moderna cultura urbana occidentale sembrò, per un attimo, certa, sembra ormai travolto dalla vertigine della espansione urbana più veloce e imponente dell’intera storia dell’umanità, nei continenti più antichi e nei più nuovi.

Book Description
The Scientific Society Ludovico Quaroni was founded in Rome in 2010 as a tribute to Ludovico Quaroni, the Italian Master of Urban Architecture. Its purpose is “the study of the contemporary and historical city and architecture; the study of the design and theoretical works of the leading architects and scholars of architecture, the city and the territory”. To achieve these goals, the Scientific Society Ludovico Quaroni has founded the present electronic review, “L’architettura delle città – The Journal of the Scientific Society Ludovico Quaroni”. The title is a reminder of Ludovico Quaroni’s earliest book entitled L’architettura delle città (Ed. Sansaini, Rome 1939).

Book Description
Hangzhou is a very special city for Italian architects who want to learn about historical and contemporary architecture and about the urban challenges in contemporary China. There are further issues that we would like to investigate about Hangzhou in the future and in order to do that, it would be interesting to involve further experts such as archaeologists and hydrologists given the special presence of historical relics, water and several issues which still deserve a better enhancement.

Book Description
The crisis of contemporary public space is a question of interest to all architects. The economic, social and cultural crisis, in particular affecting the entire European continent, is clearly and originally reflected in the public spaces of our cities, more and more of which are now considered “heritage”. Public space and the public realm, due to their original facets, are once again a theme of interest for architects, but also for philosophers, sociologist and anthropologists (J. Habermas, D. Innerarity, Z. Bauman, M. Augé), as complex “spaces” to be decomposed. Hence, a few questions: Does the analysis of public space and an approach to design, in a reality that considers a different concept of “public” than that of the pat century comport a new way of looking? A new urban-architectural nomenclature? An interdisciplinary approach to design? The general situation described in this publication, in various authors from different disciplinary backgrounds, clearly expresses the tangible need to provide (or provide once again) positive responses to different questions before proceeding with the design – or analysis – of contemporary public space.

Book Description
Temples are the most prestigious buildings in the urban landscape of ancient Italy, emerging within a network of centres of the then-known Mediterranean world. Notwithstanding the fragmentary condition of the buildings’ remains, these monuments – and especially their richly decorated roofs – are crucial sources of information on the constitution of political, social and craft identities, acting as agents in displaying the meaning of images. The subject of this volume is thematic and includes material from the Eastern Mediterranean (including Greece and Turkey). Contributors discuss the network between patron elites and specialized craft communities that were responsible for the sophisticated terracotta decoration of temples in Italy between 600 and 100 BC, focusing on the mobility of craft people and craft traditions and techniques, asking how images, iconographies, practices and materials can be used to explain the organization of ancient production, distribution and consumption. Special attention has been given to relations with the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Anatolia). Investigating craft communities, workshop organizations and networks has never been thoroughly undertaken for this period and region, nor for this exceptionally rich category of materials, or for the craftspeople producing the architectural terracottas. Papers in this volume aim to improve our understanding of roof production and construction in this period, to reveal relationships between main production centres, and to study the possible influences of immigrant craftspeople.
