Spaces ‘con_fusione’

For several years, at the dipartimento Architettura e Design dell’Università di Genova, a group of researchers in Drawing has developed research topics related to the contribution that visual disciplines make in solving problems ragarding emergency situations, identity and institutional communication connected to the city and urban spaces in general. These searches are grouped under the title of "Visuality", developed from time to time with specific methods and purposes; this year, Visuality 03, carried out on an interdoctoral level [1], saw a work on the analysis, study and critical reading of the movement, intended as visualization of the change produced by passage of time. The object of the research was the study of movement related to three different declinations (on Architecture, inside Architecture, through Architecture) and the objective to deepen, through the photographic image, a critical analysis of the concept of movement connected to the theme of architecture, intended as a driving force or sensor of change. The advent of the pandemic has obviously changed the scenarios, the organization and development; the long lockdown meant that everything that had to take place with site inspections was carried inside. A potential downsizing of the initiative, which in reality has given rise to a series of new ways of "seeing", "exploring" and consequently considering the reality that surrounds us, up to transforming the limit into openness, the restriction into opportunity and to leave space for new interpretative visions.
