Abstract: The design work carried out on the city of Frattaminore represented, for the students in the last year of the Master’s Program in Architecture 5UE, an important experiment, from a design and professional point of view, towards the development of an approach aimed at finding an adequate and factual response to the multiple needs posed by the reality of the context in which it operates.The book collects the results of the work carried out during the 2020-2021 academic year, highlighting the multiplicity of aspects and design topics addressed, as well as the variety of the proposed solutions. The structure of the book reflects this experimental approach, starting with the exploration of some preliminary topics and methods, examined in the “Essays” section; continuing through the tool of the “mapping” and the interaction with the environment and with the people who live the places; finally, working on assembling and defining a “synthesis” of data and investigations through the design proposals, described in the “Projects” section. Each project theme includes a theoretical study through an introductory essay, and several design variations to provide, in an alternative way, possible scenarios for the city. To try to solve the existing critical issues, yet to enhance the potential and the various heritage of the city of Frattaminore, the project proposals were built grafting into the existing, not oriented towards the definition of a closed form and a predetermined function. On the contrary, it has implied to work on the idea of an open form, which reuses what already exists, including multiple possibilities of use and continuously changing its perimeter, extending and incorporating urban pieces of different nature. Scenarios of new possible meanings and new urban transformations are, therefore, the result of this work, made up of different levels of study and research related to the general idea of Frattaminore as a city in transition.

Vincenzo Valentino, University of Naples Federico II

Architect and PhD in Architectural and Urban Design. His main research interest is aimed at investigating new possible forms of interaction between corporeity, understood in a post-anthropocentric dimension, and contemporary architectural design. He is a member of research groups in the context of PRIN and Conventions. He is a speaker at national and international conferences; he participates in design workshops and seminars, such as Berlin City West (2020) and Vkhutemas 100 (2021). He is the author of articles and essays on architecture and the city. He carries out teaching support activities in the design laboratories of the University of Naples Federico II and since 2022 he has been collaborating with Pasquale Miano Studio, intertwining research and theoretical reflection with design practice.
