Abstract

This article introduces the foundations and first steps of the PhD project Rescalants: Architecture-urbanism after the Metropolis. This project focuses on a) the conditions of contemporary, multi-scalar metropolization processes, and b) the need to provide new project strategies able to aptly operate among these conditions. Concerning the first focus, the project will indagate the contemporary key, operable metropolitan conceptual dimensions assuming a unified work field between architecture and urbanism. Regarding the second one, it will generate new design instruments of form/space, Rescalants, able to operate among such conditions and dimensions consciously. The project adopts the case study of Buenos Aires, a universal paradigm of grid
urbanization now immersed in a particular postmetropolitan condition.
