"Architecture must not be seen as a grammar, but as a text, in which the building, the landscape, the urban fabric and the whole territorial dimension form a whole in a way that is difficult to separate." (Umberto Eco)
So wrote the philosopher and author Umberto Eco in the preface to Vittorio Gregotti's book, The Territory of Architecture (1966). ln his plan for the Cefalù, Gregotti sought to redefine the territorial balance through a vast structure designed to bring order to urban growth. This project enabled various players to enter into a dialogue and establish a coherence which was more methodical than stylistic.
