Il ventunesimo secolo soddisfa i medievale/ Rinascimento Cittā
.
EXERCISE 1
Manipulate (manipolare) the puzzle (perplesso) of a city in order to conduct a morphological investigation (indagine morgologico).
.
Begin by finding maps (mappe), from ancient to recent.
.
Set up City Maps 2Go. It is functional for navigation and notated (bookmarked, placemarked, etc) online and offline.
.
Italian Architecture and Conceptual vocabulary- make a list of words in Italian that help you read the available materials and talk about your work. Language also offers a window into how we think as a culture. Speculate on translation. Install a translation app that works offline (Google Translate).
.
What do we do with this?
Post it. With LABELS!

What do we do with this?
Post it. With LABELS!
- Always label with your name (first name).
- For Analytical Sketching include the label "SKTCH" plus a label per assignment.
- For Methods & Materials include the label "MM" plus a label per assignment.
- For Design Studio include the label "Studio" plus a label per the project and assignment. For example, "Studio P1 X1".
- Since we are using the blog to integrate all the classes it is very important that you use labels each time and that you check your labels to be sure that they are consistent with your peers (blog housekeeping).
- You may add your own labels but be judicious so that we don't have too vast a proliferation. I would suggest using the Italian words as an option.
- "guidance" and "assignments" are labels belonging solely to the docenti.

Use your historical maps to create a possible itinerary (itinerario, percorso) through the city. Where are you likely to find the walls? What has become of the walls? What are the components of the wall? Find places where you think history intersects the present. Mark the maps simply, using photoshop and/or illustrator, Indesign. These are not super-mod collage maps but instead indexing devices.
.
Post your maps with brief explanation, including Italian language keywords.
