gruppo A12 : web project 'parole' (genoa based group which pools individual and collective research into architecture, urbanism and contemporary art). "...the city is the model for the contemporary world, new lifestyles and economic and social systems are being established. architecture and urbanism are having difficulty in dealing with such complexity, one of the recent manifestations of this crisis is the accelerated proliferation of new terms, names and definitions having new landscapes as their object. 'mega-city, hyper-city, diffused city, platonic loft, theme park, porno district, scanorama, naked city, pop-up city, plug-in city...' the words filter the world of comunications, some sediment, others enter common usage and still other acquire the unsuspected capability to transform and assume multiple definitions. the web project 'parole' consists in the realization of a dynamic archive in which these words are collected. visitors are invited to enrich it with new material..." httpp://king.dom.de/parole
