| Does
graphic art have a sense in times of crisis? When the life conditions of a community are put into discussion and everything seems to take on a connotation of urgency, graphic art can be a tool for channelling a statement, to sensitize and propose new solutions, to transmit ideas, sensations and opinions. Over the years the needs of people change and diversify, professional qualities also change and diversify as well as the way of representing and communicating them. Felicity aims at providing a contribution to reflection beginning from an anthropological vision and arriving at modern times, in the expectation of a future where the city can be a better place for self-improvement. How can a city grow qualitatively? The project disciplines of visual culture are often privileged interlocutors of the relations between man, territory and the city. More and more, other professional figures apart from town planners, architects, and urban sociologists, are capable of administering the image of the city through a deeper and more articulated approach. Competition announcementWith this interpretation in mind, the link between graphic art and the city is even richer, allowing to interpret the urban context as a grand score of notational signs, many of them being administered and generated by graphic art. In this manner, urban spaces propose a new urban setting, to the point of influencing the form of the city and its architecture. |
