From "in-between" to "through" space. Scenarios for today's Padova
The problem of in-between space has been the main topic over a long period of reflection on contemporary architecture and cities, and has produced a significant accumulation of thoughts on the form of contemporary space. The basic premise to the problem of in-between space is the possibility of identifying homogeneous and finite parts, on which the concept of a city of parts may be founded. The concept of in-between space is based on the idea that there is an essentially void and formally non-structured space between solid objects, i.e., an “otherness” between empty space and formed matter. “In-between” is thus defined by negation. The only possible measure of it is, strictly speaking, the distance between its non-edges: this dimension, while reacting with the dimensions and shapes of the boundaries, generates a number of formal features of in-between space. In-between space has been a necessary complement to the finiteness of the parts, which lie on it as shapes on the background; at the same time, it has been the unresolved portion of urban composition, where aporias arise within the urban space of a compact city. It has been described as a non-structured field, fluid and elusive, on the borders of which non-interacting solids rise. At some point, from once being a residual background, in-between space has become resourceful, overwhelming in its potential, differences and diversity: it has been chosen as a favourite culture medium for research on urban public spaces which were presumed to be freed, unforeseen, capable of hosting various and unexpected relationships; it has been acknowledged as both urban space and collective territory. It is unaccomplished, open, malleable space, available for manipulation and transformation. If the formal crystallisation of finite and composed parts fits the principle of Alberti’s concinnitas, and is extremely unlikely to add or subtract anything without undermining the Vitruvian symmetry between the whole and its parts, the incorporeity of in-between space allows it to host ...
