The 1000008988 project studies five university colleges designed by the architect Giancarlo De Carlo, located about a kilometre from the historic centre of Urbino. The entire structure, built in terracotta bricks and exposed concrete, occupies an area of approximately 62,000 m2. Conceived by De Carlo as an organism "in the form of a city", the five colleges – Tridente, Colle, Serpentine, Aquilone and Vela –  are in fact independent of one another.  They are connected by a branched structure of paths, which becomes a meeting place and exchange.

My research focuses on the current state of management and control of these structures, which is inconsistent with De Carlo's vision; the architect envisaged a series of threshold spaces belonging both to the colleges and the city, halfway between public and private, closed and open, to encourage exchange between universities and the city.

I studied these structures from 2019 to 2021, developing photograms extrapolated from multiple points of electronic visual control located within the structures. The aim was to combine my own labyrinthine, human vision of the spaces with the omnipresent, mechanised eye of the "video surveillance city".
