The spatial-temporal journeys and the urban filters

The city of Naples has always distinguished for its particular typological condition, where the relationship between the public space and private space was constantly manifested by a symbolic space system of accesses to the historic built. This system is interposed between the urban pattern and the road building by establishing a spatial relationship that doesn’t limit its communication skills to the simple two-dimensionality of the curtain wall, but is considered to be the first of several elements of a continuous spatial sequence represented by streets, entrance hall, courtyard and staircase. This visual-perceptual filter, as well as in residential construction is recurred, also in the choral architecture of the city, where, compared to residential building, is inverted, and finds in the staircase the first element of a space-time path that is interposed between the road and the architecture. The aim of this following search is the survey and the representation of this first connecting element between the road and the choral architecture, giving back the identity’s character of the examinated reality.
