Housing tradition in the Sassi

Landi, Davide; Antonello, Alici

Abstract

The Culture of the City is a central concern in the discipline of Architecture. The long tradition of the study-tour of artists and architects is evidence of the profound inspiration drawn from the historical city – the spaces, shapes, patterns, surfaces and materials of the urban landscape were faithfully recorded and retained in the sketchbooks of generations of architects. Italy was a favourite destination as it offered a rich selection of sites, from the principal cities of Venezia, Firenze, Roma, Naples and Pompei, to the small hill villages and towns of Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria, Campania and Sicily.
In recognition of this tradition, the Università Politecnica delle Marche and Aalto University exchange methodologies and strategies for the understanding of the Matera’s urban landscape.
