Two contrasting terms are joined to conjugate the traditional idea of metropolis (the center of a vast territory, hierarchically organized, dense, vertical, produced by polarization) with horizontality (the idea of a more diffuse, isotropic urban condition, where center and periphery blur).
Beyond a simplistic center/periphery opposition, this concept reveals the dispersed condition as a potential asset, rather than a limit, to the construction of a sustainable and innovative urban dimension.
The exhibition will investigate the Horizontal Metropolis, its space, traditions and authors; its relevance today as an energetic, ecological and social design issue. It will explore scenarios and design strategies for the recycling and upgrading of cities-territory in a radical project.
