Forma Quadrata Britanniae
Forma Quadrata Britanniae
In a previous research on the urban form of Alnwick, in Northumberland, we set out to integrate the well-known urban analysis of M. R. G. Conzen with the method of 'reading' of the Muratorian school (Cataldi, 2013). In particular, we had tried to apply the theory of the Forma Quadrata (Cataldi, 2014) to the entire territory of Great Britain, assuming that the origin of the 'square' geographical system, oriented secundum coelum, had been placed by…

The substratum permanent structures of Roman Valencia
The territory and urban form of numerous cities in the region of Valencia were strongly conditioned by the imprint of Roman planning. Research on Roman planning in the Italian peninsula has allowed recognition of a number of types of plans, leading to the development of a general method of ‘reading’ similar structures derived from Roman planning. Application of this method to the territory of the region of Valencia is proposed. The two straight s…
Florence
Unlike Rome, a city that originated from the union of various villages, Florence is a typical city of Roman founding, which reached the peak of its development around the year 1300. At that time an ambitious plan for the city, aimed at housing within the city wall a large number of inhabitants was put into effect. It was rivalled at that time in Europe only by Paris. As in Rome, pre- existing structures heavily influenced the subsequent developme…
A double urban life cycle
Rome is distinguished from the large majority of cities by the double life cycle of its long history. In this paper attention is focused on the permanent substratum structures that ensured ‘continuity in change’ during this city’s transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages: for the Muratorian school this is the basic principle of ‘cyclic law’ that regulates the life and history of the city. In Rome this phenomenon of rebirth is particularly cle…
Roman Alnwick
Translating ‘Alnwick’ into Italian
Thinking about Alnwick’s origins G. Cataldi
The planning-typological approach G. Cataldi
From Muratori to Caniggia
This paper attempts to provide a better understanding of the development of the ideas of the Italian school of design typology. In the case of the two leading contributors to that school, the fact that one (Saverio Muratori) taught the other (Gianfranco Caniggia) is a dominant theme. However, as in the history of ideas more generally, it is difficult to trace the various influences on the thinking of these key individuals. Ideas about culture, ph…
