A non-apathetic approach to the urban: The aim will be the exploration, the analysis, the ephemeral mapping of the connections, the process of understanding. And if the city it’s the physical representation of the social, economical dynamics which are making it, then nothing can be understood a priori. No interpretation of our surroundings comes from a superficial look – from an apathetic standpoint - no architectural or urban approach can tackle a problem with a theory which is merely universal and independent, presupposing a disconnection from the particularity of the local. We will follow the connections which are there, understanding and analysing them, using at first the tool of listening.
