The following considerations reflect on a series of studies, which for many years have been investigating possible ways to work onto the form of contemporary city. A city scattered over those territories lying on the earth surface, largely beyond the furthest parts of the well-established city as well as outskirts. The horizontal dimension of a widespread, tiny, pulverized built environment that is randomly scattered through the still strongly agriculturally plotted landscape, marks these territories. In his text on the città in estensione, written in 1976, G. Samonà described the process of transformation that started in the countryside, which had been rapidly overwhelmed and contaminated by the faster and faster urban sprawl; he wished a new metropolis’ form that would assume the dialectics with the horizontality of agricultural landscape as a starting point. Forty years after Samonà’s lecture we are faced with landscapes of the città in estensione, where, although the horizontal dimension is still prevailing, the structure of the agricultural plot has been violated by a widespread and lawless building campaign. Heavy infrastructures have overlapped the layout of cultivated fields, and smaller or wider scattered neighbourhoods cluster around motorway junctions. The contemporary città in estensione shows a series of layers, unresponsive towards each other, randomly overlapped onto the countryside surfaces’ layout. The urban fabric is randomly shaped and does not dialogue with the territorial nature; there is a nearly total lack of designing of void space, street space included. The desire to design a form of contemporary landscape, where set of elements are no longer framed in a univocal, predetermined, and blocked set of relationships, and are able to establish new multiple relationships, must cope with the fragmentation of landscape. With respect to this condition, the compositional principle for the regeneration of the landscape of the città in estensione aims to the development of regulating devices ...
