an image of the spaces in between MichaĂŤl Stas
“Sometimes in reading poetry one is taken by their silences, by the gaps between the lines. Silence slides into the mind,..” With this selected fragment John Dixon Hunt starts his text about gardens entitled ‘the spaces in between’ to emphasize that “what happens in that space (silence) is crucial to the whole affect”. Although the diffuse city is often described from its urban perspective, our project looks at the ‘silences’ or the ‘spaces in between’ when reflecting on the metropolitan area. But what is this negative figure, this black ‘Surface’ that consist of 60% of the territory and that is mostly considered as the background or victim of the of urbanization? SUPERFICIE (meno com. superfice) s. f. [dal lat. superficies, comp. di super- e facies «faccia»] (pl. -ci, disus. -cie) [Portion of the earth’s crust: a s. Building] ≈ area, soil, terrain, area. / super’fitʃe / noun [ < Latin, ‘superficies’; pre x ‘super’- on, upper + ‘ ficies’ – face.] 1. the surface, outer face, or outside of a thing. 2. the outward appearance, distinguished from the inner nature.
