Theoretical research is a sine qua non in the art of urbanism. The gigantic scale and impact of the urbanistic practice makes the art of urbanistic research invaluable for the future and a patrimony equally valuable as the built patrimony.
Housing, life itself as generator of the city, lies at the basis of the research called the Unadapted City. Its methodology is to start from the anonymous number with the aim to arrive at spaces for the urban equipment, diversified as to form, interpretation and scale.
The Unadapted City aims at de-fragmentation of urban space and believes in the makability of the city's large scale. If a global orientation or communication system is feasible, then so is a general urban organization or concept.
