«The lesson that can be drawn from the old city for the modern city is to define the qualities of buildings and urban settlements of the distant past and to study how to obtain their equivalents in the current conditions, inevitably relying to ways and forms which have to be invented and experimented, completely different from the traditional ones».
La lezione che si può ricavare dalla città antica per la città moderna consiste nel definire qualità proprie di edifici e sistemazioni urbane del passato non prossimo e studiare come ottenerne di equivalenti nelle condizioni attuali, ricorrendo inevitabilmente a modi e forme da inventare e sperimentare, del tutto differenti da quelli tradizionali.
Carlo Melograni, 2015
