THE BRIDGE & THE WALL.
For a Survey of the Urban Form of Southern Nanjing
Marco Trisciuoglio, “Transitonal Morphologies” Joint Research Unit
Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and Southeast University Nanjing (China).
An engrave by Thomas Allom (1850), entitled “The Bridge of Nanjing”, shows the city walls, a bridge on a water canal and a pagoda. Allom was never in China, but he drew his views collecting
memories of other painters and some writers, in a sort of personal “analogous city”.
In that picture, another urban element is a group of old small houses. Nowadays, in the Southern part of Nanjing, within the still existing precinct of the city wall (Qinhuai District), some traces of
the ancient urban fabric give an idea of the Ming Dynasty city (when Nanjing was the capital city of the Chinese Empire). A morphological survey of that zone, made through the criteria of the Italian
school of urban morphology, is currently used for some innovative projects of urban regeneration.
Not only the role of iconography, but also the role of maps, the role of the courtyard-house typology and the role of the ownerships’ changes during 20th century, represent together the core of an “operative” investigation”

UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA “LA SAPIENZA”
FACOLTÀ DI ARCHITETTURA
COURSE IN URBAN MORPHOLOGY 2021/2022
prof. Giuseppe Strappa
arch. Anna Rita Donatella Amato
arch. Francesca De Rosa
arch. Huimin Ji
arch. Alessandra Pusceddu
GOALS
The course aims to teach a method of reading the built landscape through the knowledge of the forming processes common to urban fabrics and buildings. The basic notions of organism and process will be used to read the built landscape.
The main purpose of the typological study proposed by the course is the identification of the characters of the built environment and the recognition of the formation and transformation processes , having as ultimate goal the architectural design.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The course will consist of:
- a series of lectures (see schedule)aiming to provide the student, through the morphological / processual method, with the tools to read the built environment, historical and contemporary, having the architectural design as its goal.
- a series of independent lectures given by external professors or experts, on complementary subjects. The purpose of these lectures is to give a general idea of the contemporary studies on urban form through the knowledge of methods different from those followed by the course. Some re-design exercises will be proposed to apply the concepts learned.
- “morphological walks” eventually organized in small groups to examine the fabrics and buildings under study. The participation and writing of a short report entitles the student of Ar course to 2 credits.
EXAMINATION
Students will be evaluated through an oral test.
The student will be free to choose one of the following forms of exam:
1. presentation of the work carried out during the course on one of the themes included in the program. The student’s work will be followed periodically by the teachers and may also contain a simple project proposal as an example of the theoretical study.
2. Discussion on one of the theoretical topics listed in the course program.
The students will also be free to present all the works they consider useful for evaluation.

Le città cinesi di oggi non sembrano paragonabili, nelle loro strade e nei loro edifici, con le città cinesi ancora esperibili nella prima metà del secolo XX, con i caratteri morfologici di lunga durata derivati dalla storia e chiaramente riconoscibili. La Nanchino di oggi, per come viene descritta nel romanzo di ZHU Wen Se non è amore vero, allora è spazzatura (什么 是 拉圾 ，什么 是 爱, 2004), è così lontana dalla Nanchino descritta da YE Zhaoyan in Nanchino 1937. Una storia d’amore (一九 三 七年 的 爱情, 1996), per non parlare della perdita oggi di quel senso degli spazi urbani e dei luoghi privati che si può ancora trovare leggendo le lettere di My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard, il romanzo epistolare di Elizabeth Cooper ambientato nel Jiangsu del 1914, o tuffandosi letteralmente nelle pagine caleidoscopiche del monumentale romanzo Il sogno della camera rossa (红楼梦), scritto secondo la tradizione da CAO Xueqin a metà XVIII secolo.
In effetti, l’esercizio di una più attenta comprensione delle transizioni di una città, dal carattere urbano che era proprio dei secoli delle dinastie Ming e Qing al carattere di una città ridisegnata durante la breve Repubblica Cinese, poi trasformato ancora nel carattere di una città sottoposta ai processi di modernizzazione durante il “balzo in avanti” sino alla metamorfosi ormai compiuta
nella metropoli complessa e “smart” dell’Asia di oggi, può essere utile per comprendere il terreno di gioco sul quale stanno decidendo il futuro di una città come Nanchino progettisti, urbanisti e stakeholders.
