CITY RENEWAL AND URBAN ARCHAEOLOGY
The morphological values of city traces
The seventh ISUFItaly International Conference, organized by the Federico II University in the historical Palazzo Gravina, Naples, will examine the relationship between the emerging urban archaeological traces and the conspicuous morphological value that this formal legacy can generate. The Conference aims at establishing new connections between the contemporary city and the ancient artefacts. Within this framework, the conference intends to re-propose urban continuity and/or discontinuity, and the role of urban architecture, as a necessary intermediary within the contemporary city.
The organisers and the ISUFItaly Council are herein inviting Italian and international researchers, practitioners, as well as PhD students who have finished or are completing their research to participate in the Conference.
We will welcome abstract proposals on these main tracks:
Theories for the city’s interpretation
Reading urban form
Urban design and urban archaeology
Architectural composition and archaeology
