abstract = "Lo studio tratta il recupero di un vuoto urbano nel centro storico di Palermo. L{\textquoteright}ipotesi illustrata riguarda la progettazione di una “macchina dell{\textquoteright}acqua” (un canale sulle tracce dell{\textquoteright}antico fiume Kemonia) pensata per rappresentare e realizzare le istanze di una nuova societ{\`a} che intende costruire nuovi ambienti sottraendoli al degrado ed alla speculazione. Uno spazio per accogliere eventi effimeri, ma anche per comunicare la storia e la cultura della citt{\`a}. The study characterizes “the element water”, like architectonic material and principle base of the city planning, for the recovery of Palermo intra-moenia and for the valorization of the cultural resources and acclimatizes them local. The plan draft the recovery of empty a city one, that it has fragmented the ancient axis of via Maqueda, as a result of the strafings of the last war. The illustrated hypothesis regards the planning of a encircled city space from a water channel on the traces of the ancient Kemonia river. A “machine of the water” thought in order to represent and to realize the requests of a new society that means to construct new atmospheres embezzling them to the degradation and to the speculation. A space in order to receive events ephemeral, but also in order to communicate the history and the culture of the city.",
