MORPHOLOGY INTRODUCTION

To better understand the typology of Milan and how the city has been formed architecturally and how it has evolved, we had to carefully study the progression and advancement of the relation between built and unbuilt spaces. The investigation included emphasizing specific lots, identifying different construction typologies, and examining the relationships between built spaces, as well as between buildings, streets, and interior courtyards. Such classification and categorization is an important element in our thesis to better understand the city. Such research helps to outline more broad and fundamental concerns, such as the link between constructed and unbuilt city areas, and so contributes to the project’s process.
