ISSUE # 000


This is a tragic Blog!

It is so, because it attempts to define what the CITY, which is undefinable by definition.

You can try, but every tentative is limited, speculative, empiric, partisan, incomplete, inaccurate, ambiguous and ultimately not true.

It's like explaining the words art, religion or love for instance.

The city embrace every single human activity, but it's not human...

It grows and mutate like an organism, but its built with inanimate materials...

The dichotomies could continue for long, confirming the impossibility to grasp the city essence.

Therefore,

this blog will discuss about the built environment, with an open-source frame work, where every external input is more than welcome (if i like it).

I will focus above all on the structure of the urban space or the architecture.

Anything connected with buildings or industrial design will be considered with the greatest attention. On the other side any allusion, mention or even the slightest involuntary hint to pure nature, would be not accepted and immediately destroyed.

The grayer are the comments, the better.

Right, from now on, Blogburg, the city-forum, is on.

This is a hot-topic !
