ABSTRACT

Urban centrality demands building space that erodes and implodes blocks in the most accessible places. Nolli’s map made in 1748 was the first known graphic reference that visualised the phenomenon. The map and its contemporary interpretation are the starting point for this paper. The research has graphic support from existing maps that used Nolli’s idea to represent those cities, and other maps created ad hoc. It is argued how territories are divided into small units that fold and wrinkle, drawing the conclusion that they do it to (i) find the maximum useful surface area in the minimum amount of space; (ii) concentrate activity; (iii) enable interaction; (iv) optimise resources; (v) accelerate processes; and (vi) cure urban diseases. Methodologically, this is done in two large sections, one showing erosion, division and fragmentation of the central urban layouts, and another emphasising the importance of architecture extending urban layouts to other directions.

摘要

城市的中心性要求建筑空间在最容易接近的地方侵蚀和破坏街区。纳利（Nolli）于1748年绘制的地图是第一个使现象可视化的已知图形参考。地图及其当代解释是本文的出发点。这项研究得到了现有地图的图形支持，这些地图使用了Nolli的想法来代表那些城市，而其他地图则是临时创建的。。有人争论如何将领土划分为折叠和起皱的小单元，得出的结论是：（i）在最小的空间中找到最大的可用表面积；（ii）集中活动；（iii）促成互动；（iv）优化资源；（v）加快进程；（vi）治愈城市疾病。从方法上讲，这是分为两个大部分完成的，一个部分显示了中心城市布局的侵蚀，分割和碎片化，另一部分强调了将城市布局扩展到其他方向的建筑的重要性。
