La teoria degli attrattori per l’analisi e il progetto della città storica: Amida-Diyarbakir

Abstract

The application of different techniques for the study of the city remains today (Whitehand, 2018), as it was 20 years ago (Whitehand, 1997) and (Marzot, 1998) the most interesting experimental field in the context of urban morphology. Our object of study is the city and we should therefore apply the tools derived from the different theories to verify if these are confirmed by the different cases and, finally, to refine these theories. The case of Amida-Diyarbakir was selected to compare different analyzes, belonging to the Muratorian and Conzenian school of urban morphology: the analysis of the orientation, the cyclic inversion of center and limit, analysis of the attraction, the identification of the fringe belts and space syntax.
