The reconstruction of an Image. The experiences of Quaroni and in Basilicata Piacentini

From its origins until today, the row house is claimed in a context of aggregate construction landscape, enabling you to achieve high urban densities without having to give up a type of single-family dwelling. In the course of the years there have been numerous trials of this specific building typology, which are influenced by different cultures and different technologies, they have generated a great variety of characteristics and compositions, from individual accommodation to the entire morphology of the urban fabric. The multiple aggregations of this building type are defined by the relationships between rooms, the paths and pedestrian roads, with its connections to the parking areas, and open spaces public and private. The experiments of recent years made on the construction industry, horizontal, urban, have brought the architects and the landscapers to deal with the various needs and issues that affect the scope of the terraced buildings. The design choices that are made concern, in large measure, the density of population net and the possibility of access of vehicles.
