| description | Working on a project for historical cities requires to focus on the concept of place’s own identity. In our society context, this is a cyclically dissolving and recomposing concept, composed by a mosaic of stakeholders with heterogeneous and conflicting interests. That’s way it’s necessary to assume a design attitude, when facing the concept of identity. The aim of the paper is discussing the theoretical foundation of the concept of identity, through a selection of significant contributions and case-studies. Additionally, the essay highlights weaknesses and potentialities of this concept, and reflects on the various directions the design project for historical cities can undertake. |
