Abstract

To reconstruct implies an act of courage. To reconstruct the city requires a responsible, patient, conscious and daring act of preserving memory and committing the future. The act of architecture is never neutral, it is also a partisan act. It is the architect’s responsibility to move towards concrete actions through the project, which “case by case”, refutes hypotheses, verifies ideas and advances theses. Reconstruction is a project.
