Cersaie 2010: Conferences and Seminars
Architecture and narration: the city in words and images

Tuesday 28 September - 10.00 a.m.
Galleria dell'Architettura

In twentieth century literature, the image of the city is often associated with the shock of transformation, of movement that disrupts its traditional equilibriums, of the continual emergence of new architectural forms. But through this transformation it maintains an essential symbolic and communicative power. The cinema has also exploited the mythology of the narrative city, sometimes portraying it as an inextricable labyrinth, sometimes as a place of happiness. But the city is also often a symbol of mystery: there is always something hidden away underneath the surface, just out of reach.
