How are the boundaries between public space and the intimacy of private space defined? What is hidden from the gaze of the passerby and what, instead, is shown to him? How does the settlement structure enclose living space while allowing the gaze escape routes to larger landscapes?
Luc Boegly traverses the length and breadth of Monte Carasso, a territory that since 1979, thanks to the work of Luigi Snozzi, has known a process of transformation and densification based on an urban project aimed at defining a very precise spatiality necessary for the creation of places of aggregation and identification, as an antidote to indefinite and uncontrolled peri-urban sprawl.
