Moulding Territories

Aim of the present thesis is the analysis of the Bernard Cache’s book: ‘Earth moves’ from the point of view of architecture and how that book can help us to understand architecture and the way that it is functioning. The thesis deals with the Cache’s classification in three groups (the inflection, the vector and the frame) in order to understand better and explain his theoretical approach. But also goes one step forward, conscious of the Gilles Deleuze’s influence on the cache’s theory. Tries to contrast the two theories, in order to explain in which level the first is conducting the second. The thesis’ interest is in the fact that Cache tries to put one image in relation to another as if they had different kinds of importance. If Cache pretends to explain the images of the past, to understand the ones of the present and to create new ones for the future, with one clear system, then the thesis is interested in checking this on images that he didn’t create or choose.
