Colorare le città: un’iniziativa a livello globale in relazione alle attuali problematiche legate agli interventi di riqualificazione urbana attraverso lo strumento “colore”

This study puts into evidence how the color appearance within the urban context should not be limited to only historical values, but also and above all to the overall vision of the city strongly conditioned by the political building of the second world war. If the United States, as shown in a careful reading of urban essays, sees in "Superblocks" building the fall of the city "lived" in favour of the only "inhabited"for Europe the construction of so-called "self-sufficient" and in Italy specifically most subsidised housing quarters beginning denouncing aspects contradictory as programmatically for formal design, spatial and constructive, but never self-sufficient with respect to the overall logic of cities; In addition, made initially public and subsequently redeemed in large part by private, these settlements are also inconsistencies in the management aspects; which, as well as on the town planning, architectural, landscape, social, economical, we inevitably reflects on the problems and strategies of a possible territorial protection. A series of investigations: inspections in situ, interviews, swot analysis, chromatic, photographic and processing has emerged the need to take into consideration as a possible tool of urban regeneration and social low-cost the study of a chromatic modern buildings Project. Color, with its ability to affect the perception of the shape, can reshape the volumes, correct distances, harmonizing proportions.
