Abstract

Social marginalization at the urban scale can stem from an ingrained fear within opposing societal blocs that their identity is inevitably destined to be undermined, or even lost, due to cultural conflicts. This article argues that the design of projects that juxtapose different cultural traditions and practices and encourage an openness to the exchange of knowledge and learning can both promote the reinforcement of identity, and set the stage for the willing and mutual acceptance of difference. With this perspective as a starting point, this article explores an unrealized project for an Islamic Culture House in Genoa, Italy, intended to be a place in which Islamic culture can be shared with the Christian and non-Christian residents of the city. This unrealized project, which received the European Muslim League’s support in 2012, proposes the transformation of an old building located in the Darsena area, the dockyards of Genoa, into a centre of Islamic culture.

文化交流与边缘化:意大利热那亚伊斯兰文化之家项目
城市范围内的社会边缘化可能源于对立社会集团内部根深蒂固的恐惧,即由于文化冲突,他们的身份不可避免地会受到损害,甚至丧失。本文认为,设计并列不同文化传统和习俗的项目,鼓励知识和学习的开放交流,既能促进身份认同的强化,又能为自愿和相互接受差异创造条件。本文以这一观点为出发点,探讨了意大利热那亚一个尚未实现的伊斯兰文化之家项目,该项目旨在成为与该市基督教和非基督教居民共享伊斯兰文化的场所。这个尚未实现的项目在 2012 年得到了欧洲穆斯林联盟的支持,建议将热那亚码头区 Darsena 地区的一栋老建筑改造成伊斯兰文化中心。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
