Abstract. 30 years are the temporal distance between the Peter J. Larkham and Andrew N. Jones’ work A Glosssary of Urban Form (1991) and the new Glossary of Morphology (2020) by Federico Vercellone and Salvatore Tedesco (editors). Even if the two works are different in setting, in consistency and above all in the field of knowledge to which each refers (urban morphology on the one hand and aesthetic philosophy on the other), the two glossaries show many similarities in their attempt to construct a taxonomy of concepts relating to form (including the city). The purpose of the paper is the comparison between two disciplines especially on three concepts: “morphology”, “morphogenesis” and “metamorphosis”. The consideration of morphology from the point of view of the evolution - corruption of the form and above all of its original constitution (archetypal and - or also as an anthropological datum) is of particular interest here. The proposed contribution, as preliminary reflections on an interdisciplinary study to be carried out, will take the form of a dialogue around the same object from two different points of view.
