In the essay, the author talks about the sense of interiority in the urban sphere. He starts saying that the interiority is a state of mind and that this state is pro-vided by the configuration of the space. Even more, the author affirms that there’s a special feature that can give the space this sense of interiority, which is the in-side/outside boundary that according to him is “an old-age site of exchange and transition. This feature is so important because it can turn the space in the ur-ban scene into a shelter or not.For the author the shelter in the urban sphere is a place that gathered people by proving them a sort of interior space in the outside, a place where people can feel safe, where they can rest or even just waist some time, finding a kind of oasis in the middle of the city rush. Ac-cording to the author if the inside/outside
boundary is not able to exist, if this place of “exchange and transition” cannot be provided the shelter space cannot exist. That’s why during the essay the author give a lot of examples of situations in which this shelter appears or does not appears and the consequences of these to the people that use the urban scene.The author emphasizes the importance of the existence of the shelter space in the urban sphere when he affirms that ‘’the city is the human place per excel-lence, dense, variegated, the construc-tion of all men’’ and also when he affirms that city and civilization are two concepts that are inseparable in this instance of the analysis. With this is possible to con-clude that is only possible for the human being exists in a place where it’s a shelter for him (city) because this place should provide him the possibility of communi-

Abstract
cations integration within the human in-dividuals (civilization) because that’s the only way the human being can exist is in civilization. So for the author the shelter is a particular place in the city where the human interactions can take place in a sort of relaxed way.Because of this prior importance of the shelter the author condemns the rational-ist attitude of the modern movement that had disintegrated the city space and with this resulted in the inexistence of shelters in the city and even more created one more problem to the city, the skyscraper. The building that puts inside it all the hu-man’s activities and create a boundary between men and between men and the urban space. That’s why the author ends the essay affirming the importance of the maintenance of the shelter place in the urban scene and the defending the idea of avoid the skyscraper as a solution for the city problem as many people still be-lieve nowadays.
The inside/outside boundary has been a crucial place throughout the history of architecture, an age-old site of exchange and transition.Ledoux’ engraving entitled “the poor man’s shelter” (l’abri du pauvre) is one of the discipline’s archetypical images. While one of the purposes of interior architecture is to make a comfortable environment, what we have here is the dream of an entire world that is wholly comfortable, the yearning for an “abso-lute” interior, and – most importantly for our purposes – the extension of the feel of indoors to the urban scene.“Urban interior” can mean many things, but it is also an oxymoron, one which seems at first sight to be reviving the old opposition between architects and tapestry-makers in the framework ofcon-temporary debate.
Let us start by examining the terms of certain questions, for these are thick with complexities however they are viewed.Cities, and with them the categories of urban design, are configured and de-scribed in just one particular way at pre-sent: in terms of their characteristics as sites of communication and exchange, of the public sphere.The interior (“interiority”, or what at the start of our modern age was called l’intérieur) is primarily a matter of the pri-vate sphere, of security from transgres-sion. These two cross-fertilize mutual inferences, so we are obliged to clarify relationships and define our terms. So: let us agree that the “interior” is first of all a state of mind, an opportunity to make something one’s own by arranging a space.Furthermore we may define “interior ar-
Paper
chitecture” as a system of procedures and arrangements which makes archi-tecture habitable, matching its rhythms (and also of the city) to those of living.Light is cast here by Walter Scott’s brief description of the sense of “interior” in Ivanhoe, explaining how, when a lady was to occupy an apartment, the serv-ants would hang its walls with cloth cov-erings: an operation, a mediation was required in order to make a given piece of architecture habitable. There are anal-ogous operations in the case of the city, and also differences; the first sign of the appropriation of space, of the city’s exist-ence, is its boundary, the city wall.Here we should recall Ryckwert’s essay on myths of origin, and the complexi-ties that underlie the city as an institu-tion. Founding rites, too, can be seen as procedures for matching the rhythms of habitation with those of the world.The city, says Fustel de Coulanges, is the human place par excellence: dense, variegated, the construction of all men; in this it differs from the clarity of the ideal city of architects or philosophers, which expresses a reflective view of habitation and lives its own parallel life, cosseted in the aquarium of theory.Cities and their buildings have, inciden-tally, a relationship with beauty that is only partial, only marginal; few portions are created by the official professionals of beauty. Humans adapt, get used to their city and its architecture. Much that is thought hideous today will win our hearts in the end, if it survives. A Klossowsky tells the story of an extraterrestrial visi-tor who discovers one dominant species on our planet, Great Buildings, and a subordinate species (mankind) which ex-ists only to serve them and extend their domain. We should also remember the
shipwreck of Erik F. Russell’s Martian Village, which reshapes itself day after day – even changing completely – to suit the shape of its builders: a charm-ing story with much truth. We should also remember the notion – which appears in many places – of the “chair that fits an-yone”: clearly, a more plausible idea is that of the human child, born small in a world full of objects and growing up until he can sit in the chair (with our present subject, though, we should always bear symmetrical correspondences in mind, starting with Alberti’s house/city paral-lels).Clearly, though, cities and architecture must be affected by a general crisis like the present worldwide one. This is un-doubtedly a difficult moment for architec-ture (I prefer not to use the term “crisis” in this instance, because crisis is almost a necessary condition for art; and, I be-lieve, for the city too, for it cannot be tranquil for ever: its dynamics require constant changes in understanding and accommodation; I also agree that our cit-ies suffer from stagnation – and not just miserable transport, either). With reviv-als, pseudotechnical myths, a surfeit of change, kitsch, remakes, etc, architec-ture right now is at best in hock, at worst in thrall to the other arts.The city’s “difficult moment” is prov-ing a hallmark of this new millennium: plans to militarize space, nostalgia for the ordered castrum (though considering Baghdad this is less plausible…). Virilio said we just have to accept that the city is disorderly, and necessarily so (remem-ber, too, Quaroni’s account of the tension between Rome and other Roman cities, and his Tower of Babel).We have Benjamin’s description of the labyrinthine Paris of the Arcades; and
likewise, from a century earlier, Victor Hugo’s (partly invented) Paris of the sew-ers. No Metro then, no Zazie; nor had Beineix yet made the film he should have called “Nôtre Dame des Métros”. Above all, Prefect Haussmann was yet to fin-ish his work of demolishing houses and deploying boulevards, his new city spin-ning what have been called the “Tales of Haussmann”.(Bloggers attacking Haussmann’s work claim his new metropolis with its huge new sewer system unintentionally cre-ated an ideal habitat for vampire bats, which the Parisians therefore call Haussmann’s Children). Virilio has good grounds, then, for saying that Paris is not all open, despite Haussmann, but a suc-cession of interiors: closed in by walls or other boundaries; house walls, city walls, right up to the walls of the world.Before Kansai airport was built it was said – and will be again when, it seems, that airport is submerged again – that the Great Wall was the only artefact visible from the moon. It was built to give physi-cal form to a definitive, universal judge-ment on the world: on the one hand, the civilized world of humans; on the other, the world of barbarians and fairs.Rome, too, built its walls and carefully marked its Limites; the determination to give meaning to the contrast between in-side and out has always been a hallmark of every culture. This is charmingly put in Ivan Morris’ essay on Heian Japan “The World of the Shining Prince”: the harsh-est sentence for a nobleman was to be sent out of the city, even on a mission we would consider important; it meant leav-ing civilisation (I have no idea whether in Japanese the words for “city” and “civili-sation” share the same root as they do with us, but in this instance they are in-
separable); beyond the city boundaries were brutes, storms, and discomfort: the world outside was not habitable.Some centuries later, the rude creatures of the countryside were first redeemed as leading characters in Il Ruzante’s works. Later still, they and their habita-tions became the very subject-matter of the myths of the Noble Savage and the State of Nature, the original housing of the soul, and bore witness to the threads linking Laugier, Rousseau and Thoreau.The last fifty years have unfortunately seen other walls, from the Berlin Wall to the “security barrier” in the West Bank, unwitting and miserable replies to the tragedies of the ghetto. Earlier came the Maginot and Siegfried Lines, the Atlan-tic Wall and the smaller Alpine Wall: but everywhere, as for the La Marquise d’O in Rohmer’s film, the enemy (and the new) always wins by appearing along an expected route. Walls, then, as well as setting limits, express the limitations of their builders. On both sides they fail to restrain, they define oppositions whose weaknesses – limits – they reveal, oftenwith unexpected consequences.Now I turn to the origins of the modern world; the walls are down, the city/coun-try boundary dissolving; but simultane-ously the urban world is dissolving too; we face an almost Oriental suggestion, dissolution as harmony. The elements of civilization become more and more “inte-rior” as they move into buildings. This is only marginally due to the Rationalist re-definition of the city in terms of functional parts. True, functionality’s categories have over time dissolved and diminished the irreducible complexities of urban life; but when the Rationalists made this sim-plification, they were surely carrying for-ward what Virilio calls the “mental map
of the city”, their attitude of civilization. They could experiment with annihilating complexities, based (at the extreme) on a “city of houses alone”. This attitude however, not far from the spontaneous attitude of the wallbuilder, has exhausted itself over the years and grown remote; mockexperimental has nowadays re-placed the real thing.Theories of the ideal city, with their vari-ous approaches, have also contributed much to today’s situation, from theo-retical constructions (ranging from the Eighth century to the Nineteenth) to the visionary communities of America. A model has been progressively worked out, which is not just a shared house or common home, in which the characteris-tics of urban living – of community – be-gin to redefine social and spatial relation-ships together, placing them inside the buildings. This leads to two paradoxes: Asimov’s Trantor, a wholly-constructed world, an immense indoors whose out-doors has vanished; and Metropolis, where the city/country dichotomy renews Hugo’s city/underground one; and finally Ballard’s great Condominium, where or-der triggers violence and self-destruction.For those outside, the talking-point is ur-ban wastelands, social problems, jobs, resources, from their role in the ancient city as the outcome of building, to the consequences of defending the hollow-ness of Rationalism.As Caesar built a desert (another oxymo-ron) outside the limes, so the Rational-ists by taking the city to pieces began to build a desert of houses (Virilio recalls Aragon’s Paysan de Paris, who inhabits a wilderness of houses; opera-lovers will recall that La Traviata made the same point fifty years earlier). In this wilder-ness, civilization has to be sheltered
indoors; the alternative solution of sub-urban destruction, merrily embraced by some, “is formal suicide”.Let us reconsider the destruction of the city walls. This replaced static masonry with free passage; but the secure, con-stricting boundary of stones gave way to the unbearable steel-and-rubber bound-ary of ring roads and Beltways. Struc-tures made to encourage movement have turned out paralysing snares. We cannot but remember Godard’s Week-end, stopped dead more than thirty years ago like Warhol’s “Empire”, but not even managing silence.A Paris taxi-driver maintained that what was wrong with the boulevards is that they were longer than they are broad: the other way round, traffic would flow just fine. The paradox is both a caricature and a description of what one might expect of a city designed by Le Corbusier, a tabula rasa on which great buildings would rise to house civilization, to summarize the city within themselves. In fact such sum-maries are most problematic; the tradition is an ancient one: the earthly paradise of the walled garden, the animals sheltered in the Ark, nature domesticated in the glasshouses of Kew, the whole world as-sembled and explained under the vaults of the Crystal Palace.Firstly notice how, in a series of steps, we slide from the Wunderkammer to Disney-land to Italy in Miniature: representation, not construction, is central to each: travel, as Papanek’s student says after his Ital-ian trip, is confused, wearisome and dirty; much better Italy’s theme park epitome.Instead of the construction of the city we have the collecting of souvenirs, the rep-resentation of events (with a miserable use of “event” which reveals our inability to bear the necessary grandeur).
Our pre-eminent features are now fakes or representations, their short duration itself an (improbable) representation of life’s mutability. In this tranquillized rep-resentation danger appears suddenly, regardless of the creators’ intentions; Fuller’s Manhattan Dome foreshadows the alien spaceship in “Independence Day”.Modern architecture, designed to cover and protect, has, on the contrary, incu-bated within the city the germs of de-struction; another reason why the cities of Utopia are enclosed inside their build-ings.When I was studying, Cumbernauld Town Centre had a great – perhaps ex-cessive – reputation. Designed as a con-tainer of civi- lization; at once a scion of the good English tradition and a faded echo of the underground river of Utopia.The “creation” of events places architec-ture what we could call “next door” to the other arts: all its peculiar difficulties of ex-pression have been removed. This sub-ordinate status is immediately clear from the disorganized repositioning of the new architects in an overbusy “star” system looking like something out of a Marvel cartoon (apologies to the Fantastic Four). Here again, though, there are longestab-lished roots: critics who retail the history of architecture as some League of Ex-traordinary Gentlemen (without seeing the film, and without a shred of its irony).We could call this breathless hysteria of time-worn novelties a period of Olym-pian architecture, of a quest for records and achievements aptly summarized in the motto “faster, higher, stronger”. As to “higher”, a new dimension, almost, was invented with the elevator: the start of a new race, with unknown rules and results; but remember “who knows not
where to go, goes up.”After beholding Manhattan from his ship, Le Corbusier wrote that the skyscraper is a cataclysm in slow motion; worrying-ly, the thought is almost a premonition; worryingly, also, the collapse of the Twin Towers has been described as “a great work of art for a new century”: we who have felt the horror have difficulty under-standing that this description refers not to the tragedy but to the significance which art has to take on: Virilio says to create art is to cause an accident.Nevertheless, accidents should be avoid-ed in architecture, however stupid we find the safety rules; living in battle is – per-haps – the job of demigods, and entails a need for much rest. For humans, per-haps, there is the possibility of irony; but that implies detachment. The tragedy of this century’s beginning is that irony is actually the Unsafety Exit for anyone still wanting to participate, to mark the land-scape. As Victor Hugo put it: a joke made about a misdeed is more horrifying than the deed itself; nothing is more abomi-nable than a crime that does not remain serious.
