Through Time and the City: Notes on Rome offers a new approach to
exploring cities. Using Rome as a guide, the book follows familiar
sites, geographies, and characters in search of their role within a
larger narrative that includes the environmental processes required
to generate enough space and material for the city, the emergent
ecologies to which its buildings play host, and the social patterns
its various structures help to organize. Through Time and the City
argues that Rome is made and unmade by an endlessly evolving chorus
that has, for better or worse, gained geological legitimacy; that
the city absorbs and emits countless artifacts in its search for
collective identity; that the city is a platform for the constant
staging of negotiations between agents (humans, buildings, plants,
animals, pathogens, goods, waste, water) that drive and are driven
by the entanglements of climate and culture. This book provides
textual and visual frameworks for identifying the material traces,
emergent patterns, or speculated futures that expose a city as
inseparable from its capacity to change.
