This book presents a project that blends a set of distinctly different disciplines. It relates the experiences of the council authorities of the town of Treviso, which launched an unprecedented scheme to assume control of the mobile phone service and to the placement of the necessary base station antennas on council land. The project involved an experimental approach developed by Pamio Design, who delved deep into the question of urban identity and the expressive impact and technological performance of these devices. Through Pamio's designs, the radio station antennas are transformed from mere towers into cogent, contemporary vertical architectural features some of which are already in place that take their rightful place as new symbols of the city, offering a novel formal interface with the urban environment. The book clearly demonstrates the practicability of this original and fruitful inquiry, which can be reproduced elsewhere, and aims to provide examples in which the relatively new and much-debated phenomenon of mobile phone networks can become full-fledged urban symbols and interrelate harmoniously with the host territory.
