ABSTRACT
Living can no longer simply be identified with dwelling because, with the opportunities offered by global organization, people have begun to inhabit the world in a more diversified way: the place where you live is no longer automatically a house, just as the city is no longer represented by a physical form (Krier, 1984; Lawrence, 1987). The differences regarding the past do not merely derive from the redistribution of complex functions over greater areas but are also due to the continuous evolution in lifestyle and modalities of settlement.
