Abstract:	The research and design work has to be intended as a critique of fragmentation, in spatial and operational terms. Infrastructure design is seen as the city’s backbone and the ground to define a new urban language or ‘modem vernacular’, term that is intended as an architectural and urban approach for the social and environmental sustainability for global cities. From this new urban language Continuity appears as the key concept for giving form to the project and ideals to its urbanism. The Continuity expressed in urban spaces, architectural elements, social processes and history is crucial for the design which doesn’t provide “the solution” to the global city; but it is a result of a constant questioning of the way in which they can be studied and design from an architectural and urban point of view.
