Resumen
A parallel comparative study explores the link between the fundamental characteristics of the architectural place and urban space. A space that is not closed, but open to possible connections – through the threshold and the frontiers of an interdisciplinary and transversal approach – with psychology, anthropology, but also technology, multimedia and computer science. The intrinsic unifying force of the place is what makes the resulted space to open up and be the most appropriate for the dwelling of men, because it makes the alliance between man and nature concrete and tangible, as it brings them together in solidarity. Within this reality, the experience of living, typical to the human condition, is achieved in its full meaning. In the urban space, within the mesh of connected places, other surprising and unpredictable spatial realities open up with their full originality, exalted by the fervour of human presence. This is the constant trait of a city, in all its parts, and it seems to excellently resist the processes of tertiarization and disneyfication that have put the historical centres of many European cities into confusion.
