CITY OF KNOWLEDGE, THE UNIVERSITY - Part 1

by Michele Leonardi architect © August 2019

City of Knowledge

is an eye that investigates the universe. He wants to know the physical, biological and spiritual worlds. It moves away from any flow of transport, objects, people, information, but it remains deeply bound to them. The "City of Knowledge" moves away to a certain extent from the flow of things, because it needs maximum concentration to pursue its objectives. Its vital axis is vertical, it points from one side to the center of the Earth, from the other to the celestial vault, or rather, to the whole thing, to infinity.

La Cité

de la connaissance,

"The City of Knowledge", il est un oeil qui observe l'univers. Il veut connaître l'ensemble des mondes physique, biologique et spirituel. Il s'éloigne de quelconque flux de transport d'objets, de personnes, d'informations, mais il reste profondément lié à ceux-là. La "Cité du savoir" s'éloigne dans une certaine mesure du flux des choses car elle a besoin d'une concentration maximale pour poursuivre ses objectifs. Son axe vital est le vertical, il pointe d’un côté au centre de la Terre, de l’autre à la voûte céleste, ou plutôt à l'ensemble, à l'infini.
