The research project investigates the relation between theoretical (architectural) frameworks and urban practices and how the communication among the two domains works. It takes Torinostratosferica, an urban knowledge agency, as a case study and looks for comparable urban practices. By exploring interdisciplinary methodologies based on ethnography and anthropology, it aims to understand the changing scenery and role of spatial practices actively intervening in the urban tissue.
