Abstract

This study began as a story of the planning events and of the architectural development of a part of the city, an area of urban expansion – the San Salvario district in Turin – consisting of an orthogonal grid of late nineteenth and early twentieth century blocks. A residential district but also a craft sector, which seeks, despite speculative objectives, to preserve the house-workshop relationship, typical of the historical city. This story is also used as a tool for the design of the contemporary city, in the belief that analysis and design are part of the same cognitive process whose goal is a conscious transformation of the value of tradition. In so doing, the project clarifies the story but also the process that, from that story, has led to specific planimetric, typological and compositional solutions.
