sustainable architecture & photograph

I want to show some awful situation in townplanning of Ussana and Elmas. This situation are very common in Sardinia and ruin our territory.

Maps were born many years ago to improve military tactics, to define properties, to develop a more profitable business, but mainly, as Calvino said, because the first need was to fix on paper places connected wit the travel.
Therefore, parallels and meridians crossed together, we tried to fix “where” to understand “when”, to put things, places, people, dividing the space into triangles and choosing then the right scale relation.
But now that technology is giving us back the perfect world image and the quantity of the symbols on the paper is increased, we are no more able to read the street names. Which map could be useful for us? br /> Maybe we could start again to follow the words, to find that map represented by the linen napkin useful to take home dinner foods, as a loot, as a treasure. That is the objective, try to “map” the city, creating emotional/cultural pathes based on small curiosities about art, architecture, design, services, habits and customs of the places showing how people live.
