Abstract
Known as one of the most important cities in Chinese history, Xi’an is defined as the cradle of Chinese civilization, as it was the capital of thirteen dynasties. A city with more than 3,100 years of history, it also represents the easternmost end of the Silk Road and has been a model of urban planning for several historical eastern capitals. A city rich in history like Xi’an is the result of a stratified accumulation of traces left over time, a whole that carries multiple meanings of memories, perceptible in the fragments, in the traces and in the voids that require interpretations and new meanings.
Over time, the total absence of an urban project has allowed the common practice of the tabula rasa with every morphological and topographical sign, leaving in the city of Xi’an pieces with a dimension without space, where antiquity and historicity suffer from the absence of nostalgia and memory
