Annotation
The modern city is characterized as incommunicative, insignificant to its citizens, as it no longer refers to the individuals' cultural universe and to the social structure. The intertwining of messages, due to continuous technological and stilistic modifications, is said to provoke a mixing of signals, difficult to understand and interiorate, resulting in a deterioration of the levels of perception and interpretation of the city.
