Tracings

Abstract

The roads often cross territories dividing them according to logical entirely extraneous to their nature, because belonging to other places to be connected, but they can become also new axes of attraction on the trace of which the environment is modified, other layouts are directed, the constructions are prepared, suburbs and cities are born. One think about the road especially for what it conducts to see, often forgetting us that itself is something to see, it is a constitutive element of the prominent characters of a certain place. It is necessary therefore to review the forms and the ways of the road-layouts arranged to the lightening of the urban traffic and to the installation of new districts, doing so that their sustainability is environmental above all and it can contribute to the construction of a new landscape. An exemplification of such attitude can be seen in the proposal of fast-flowing road layout arranged to a substantial urbanization in the delicate scenery of the Venetian lagoon.
