Spatial Choreography: Giancarlo De Carlo’s Use of the Percorso Narrativo in Collegio dell’Aquilone, University of Urbino
The link between dance and space, which is to say between dance and architecture, is of course, a metaphor. Space has been considered an integral and, occasionally, an almost palpable element of architecture at least since Borromini in the 1600s. More recently, following a trajectory set by Team X (later, Team 10), Giancarlo De Carlo noted that space and the organization of physical space is fundamental to architecture. Essentially, for De Carlo, space was inextricable from the concrete elements that define its boundaries and shape our occupation, gesture, and movement. In following the precedent set by Leon Battista Alberti, De Carlo modeled the space of a building and its organization after the city. Notably, his work for the University of Urbino became both a mirror and an extension of the urban fabric. Our experience of this spatial choreography, in a way similar to a Cubist painting or a film, is as a montage, assembled from moments garnered and remembered along the route, or percorso, through space. Architectural elements are never perceived as singular. They act in combinations, forming what amounts to spatial constellations. In the space between, this choreography comes into play, forming alternately, alliances or tensions. Both the architectural elements themselves and the geometry of their configuration, serve as references or mnemonics––bridging his interventions and the city of Urbino. The percorso is unified––its parts are gathered into a coherent whole––by a narrative structure that plays the decisive role in the choreography. For De Carlo, the larger narrative or discourse is integral to social space and a necessary reflection of the city. This paper traces the development of the percorso as a geometric organizing structure in De Carlo’s buildings at the residential campus of the University Urbino, specifically addressing the Collegio dell’Aquilone (1973–1983). The greater purpose is to present a case for understanding choreography as a critical tool in De Carlo’s design process of reading the territory.

What’s in the Mix? Mixed-Use Architecture in the Post-World War II Years and Beyond
Mixed-use housing (MUH) has proliferated in recent years, largely in connection with high-rise mixed-use housing and large urban developments. Whereas housing architecture integrating additional functions has been designed throughout history, post-World War II architects proposed innovative ideas and designs for modern MUH. This article explores MUH of that period as an experiment that articulated urban hierarchies by integrating elements belonging to the different scales of the city into housing plans. I analyze the terminological frameworks proposed by Team 10 in Europe and Denise Scott Brown and Harvey Perloff in the United States, tracing how these evolved into groundbreaking designs that redefined the architecture of MUH. I demonstrate how architects negotiated terms such as “habitat,” which engaged community, as well as “human association” and “urban reidentification” in their practice. Thinking about these terms, I propose accessibility, participation, reuse, and diversity in formal design as elements from the recent past that can provide tools for rethinking present and future MUH.

La Universidad de Toulouse le Mirail: sistema de mat-building
The origins of the University of Toulouse le Mirail, built between 1966 and 1972 by Georges Candilis, Alexis Josic, and Shadrach Woods, are part of a large residential project that was undertaken in Toulouse, France. This building is an emblematic work that falls under the category of modern universities. It is analysed from two significant aspects, the first being purpose it gives to the city: it is a new functional centre as well as serving as a community. The second is its value as a project, as it can be identified as a reference to the architectural system mat-building: a style characteristic of Team 10 and the universities that they built.

Radical Mobilities on Display
This article explores the 1965 Transport Analysis for Greater Oslo, a municipal planning document in which the routing of a large urban motorway through Oslo is richly illustrated in a series of drawings and prints. The images on display in the Transport Analysis were widely circulated in the mid- to late 1960s, thereby creating a mobile exhibition that reached a wide audience and connected with a number of other images. Through this circulation, the Transport Analysis became entangled in an intricate visual discourse that aestheticized urban motorways and linked up with radical currents in European postwar architecture. While the Transport Analysis has previously been interpreted quite narrowly, merely as the product of a pragmatic engineering mind-set, this article posits that one must move beyond the technocratic level to unravel its wider meanings.

En torno a la Tercera Generación. Perspectiva desde un centenario (1918-2018)
Las dos primeras generaciones de arquitectos modernos comenzaron respectivamente con Frank Lloyd Wright y Alvar Aalto. La tercera generación está formada cronológicamente por los nacidos entre las dos grandes guerras. Por tanto celebramos ahora el centenario de los que la iniciaron y que, con sus propuestas y manifiestos, contribuyeron a consolidarla. Se trata de establecer un marco que incluya determinados acontecimientos para entender mejor las relaciones de estos pioneros con los ámbitos en que desarrollaron su actividad y las transiciones que se produjeron desde el Movimiento Moderno que, cuando esta generación empieza, ya se habían consolidado. La referencia inicial es la edición de Philip Drew en torno a “la Tercera Generación” para continuar mostrando una serie de textos que reflejan los principios e ideas en que estos arquitectos desarrollaron sus propuestas. Un momento fundamental de esta historia hay que situarlo en el CIAM de 1956 que abre paso al Team 10. Se incide en dos personalidades importantes en contextos distintos: Aldo van Eyck y Sáenz de Oíza, cuyo pensamiento manifiesta claves que nos aproximan con intensidad a esta época.

The daily battle waged in his head; 'Lone Survivor' Marcus Luttrell never wanted to tell his story
Luttrell wrote about the experience in his bestselling book, \"Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10,\" which has just been made into the movie \"Lone Survivor\" by writer-director Peter Berg. Axelson, Dietz and Murphy were shot multiple times and died on the battlefield, while a rescue helicopter carrying 16 Special Operations Forces was downed by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all on board.

CULPEPPER HEADS CLASSIC QB CAST THE GROUP WILL TRY TO IMPRESS NFL SCOUTS AT SATURDAY'S ALL-STAR GAME AT THE CITRUS BOWL
Local star Daunte Culpepper leads an intriguing group of quarterbacks into the first All-Star Gridiron Classic at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Florida Citrus Bowl. Culpepper, who essentially owns the passing record book at Central Florida, knows he's going to be an early NFL first-round draft choice, but the rest of the quarterbacks - along with every other player involved - know they can enhance their draft standing by impressing the full complement of pro scouts who will be watching them practice and play this week. \"Absolutely right,\" said Joel Buchsbaum, the draft guru of Pro Football Weekly. \"I've seen players jump from the seventh round to the second round based on their play in all-star games.\"
