The Island of Capri was transformed into a meeting point for centereuropean intellectuals which admired Capri's romantic scenaries and it's traditional architectural ruins, due to the influence in the formation of european intellectuals of the Grand Tour, École des Beaux-Arts and the Gran Premio di Roma. If we study the graphic legacy of architects that traveled to Capri we can see an evolution in artistic sensibility of European architects from the xviii century romanticism to the European rationalization debates and the crystallization of paradigmatic works of modern movement.
En el Mediterráneo han coexistido dos importantes tradiciones urbanas, la ciudad clásica
grecolatina y la ciudad islámica. El modo de habitar la ciudad, el uso de los espacios públicos y
la naturaleza de las relaciones sociales difieren en ambos casos. El siglo XX ha supuesto un
cambio trascendental en la forma de interacción social en la ciudad. Gracias a los avances
tecnológicos, el espacio físico urbano convive ahora con un espacio virtual que nos permite
interaccionar de una forma hasta hace solo unas décadas desconocida. Del Ágora al Whatsapp
es la metáfora de la evolución de la red social tradicional de plazas y patios mediterráneos a la
comunicación basada en las nuevas aplicaciones sociales a través de internet y las nuevas
tecnologías. El resultado es el cambio de uso de los espacios físicos urbanos y su coexistencia
con un nuevo espacio de comunicación. Este nuevo fenómeno fue anticipado por el Futurismo
Italiano, Le Corbusier o Marshall McLuhan y su teoría de la aldea global
