Morfologia

Authors: PRANDI, Enrico;
Abstract

La voce tratta il concetto di morfologia nelle sue accezioni disciplinari applicabili all'architettura e all'urbanistica. A partire dall'etimo tedesco Morphologie (gr. morfé, 'forma' + logia), il lemma ripercorre le origini del termine da Goethe e la sua declinazione nelle ricerche italiane degli anni Sessanta, con particolare attenzione alle scuole di Milano e Venezia. Viene distinta la morfologia urbana — intesa come sistema costituente la forma urbis alla scala della città — dalla morfologia architettonica, relativa alle componenti figurative, volumetriche, distributive e tipologiche dell'edificio. La voce ripercorre i contributi fondamentali di Aymonino, Canella, Rossi e della scuola francese (Boudon, Moneo), per poi affrontare criticamente il progressivo abbandono della morfologia come strumento deducibile dal contesto nella cultura architettonica contemporanea, dominata dalla spettacolarizzazione dell'immagine e da logiche formali autoreferenziali.

The entry addresses the concept of morphology in its disciplinary applications to architecture and urban planning. Starting from the German etymology Morphologie (from the Greek morfé, 'form' + logia), the lemma traces the term's origins in Goethe and its development in Italian research of the 1960s, with particular attention to the schools of Milan and Venice. A distinction is drawn between urban morphology — understood as the system constituting the forma urbis at the city scale — and architectural morphology, relating to the figurative, volumetric, distributive and typological components of the building. The entry reviews the fundamental contributions of Aymonino, Canella, Rossi and the French school (Boudon, Moneo), before critically addressing the progressive abandonment of morphology as a context-derived tool in contemporary architectural culture, dominated by the spectacularization of the image and self-referential formal logics.
