| book description |

Wie konstituiert sich die offene Stadt nach einer longue durÃ©e der Ummauerung als neue rÃ¤umliche Existenz? Turin, das in der Vormoderne durch seine Lage am Ausgang der Alpen zwischen Frankreich und Habsburg eine wichtige geopolitische Funktion einnahm, zeigt hierfÃ¼r zwei bedeutende Architekturensembles: die spÃ¤tbarocke Superga-Kirche mit ihrem axial geprÃ¤gten AuÃŸenraum und die klassizistische Piazza Vittorio Emanuele mit der pittoresk einkomponierten Kirche Gran Madre di Dio. Entfestigung hieÃŸ nicht nur ZerstÃ¶rung, sondern auch Aufbau kultureller RÃ¤ume. Das Buch macht deutlich, dass die durch politische Ereignisse initiierten Architekturen am Rande Turins diesen jeweils auf ganz bestimmte Weise rezipierbar machten und so zur politischen Neuordnung der Stadt und des Landes beitrugen.
