Selected Contemporary and Historical Inspirations as the Map of Rome  by G. Nolli

Abstract

Map of Rome by Giambattista Nolli published in 1748 is considered, by researchers and designers, as one of the most important historical documents concerning the theory of urban planning. It has helped to shape the theory of figure-ground, based on the study of urban development, which is seen as a composition of massive elements (which are “figures”) to the related space (“ground”). It is used to recognize the interdependencies between the components of such compositions and to determine potential modifications, to standardize and continue the existing urban fabric by adding or removing spatial elements. Figure-ground recognition is a methodological tool, which is used by many architects and planners. The author attempts to describe some contemporary and historical examples for inspiration by the map of Rome by G. Nolli.
