Room 13
THE IDEA OF CITY
Starting from the experience of the Florentine Terre Nuove, this room presents an immersive journey into the idea of the city from antiquity to the present day, sharing a reflection on the founding aspects of a settlement from the point of view of both town planning and social life. The focus on the birth and development of a town, as well as on a sense of citizenship, allows us to delve into the peculiarities of what history has handed down to us and what the future holds. The aesthetic suggestion of both real and ideal urban models, interwoven with the philosophical, anthropological, political and economic aspects that characterise the existence of cities, offers a rich experience for our own building, living and thinking.
