Oreste Lubrano

Abstract


This contribution aims to investigate a number of Aegean poleis Priene, Miletus and Magnesia on the Meander located on the coasts of Asia Minor in the Meander Valley, with the ambition of investigating the origin of an urban culture and living space that could be summarised by the term Stadtbaukunst that is, the art of building the city linked, that is, to the foundation ex-novo foundation of a typically Greek settlement model, destined to expand on a geographical scale in the ancient world. A territory, that of the Aegean, promoter of the birth of an architectural culture that, by elevating geographical centrality to a matrix for producing new urban forms, delivered to posterity places of unsurpassed magnificence.
