Abstract

Aiming at exploring the involvement of Urban Coding among the main agents of Urban Morphology formation, the PhD research brings together two tools - urban codes and typo-morphological analysis - that handle the city in their individual ways; in doing so, they set different values onto the past and the future of a city, therefore establishing certain prior connections between the two portions of time. The present paper starts from the general assumption that urban morphology, as a multidisciplinary field where history, geography, anthropology, sociology, art history, engineering, all operate analyses on the form of the cities, and bring with them their views of time, all expressed more or less explicitly through their singular tools. The observation of the two means consisted of the reading of publications focused on their origin, development, debate, which allow to draw conclusions on their ways of considering time. These early considerations on the view of time for this work of thesis, helped raise useful questions on the nature of the instruments intended to be used - codes and typologies - and to understand their potential, limits, and relations.
