The project focuses on the Veronetta district in Verona, Italy. It proposes an innovative analysis concerned with the temporality of urban areas. Veronetta is a former working-class neighborhood, an area characterized by migration, a district of catholic monasteries, a place of nightlife, the seat of the University of Verona, and the center of the city’s student life. These functions are characterized by different, coexisting temporalities. In which ways though? What do these temporalities and rhythms mean today? What spaces do they produce? An interdisciplinary team of architects, urban planners, anthropologists, sociologists and jurists develops and maps a chronotopy of the district. The project explores methods in order to temporally grasp the complexity of urban life and develop perspectives for the future of Veronetta.

Project period: 2017-2018
