The present essay intends to put in evidence as among “space public” and “urban scene” there is a natural relationship. Or rather that the expression to use urban scene means to evoke the metaphor of the simulation that belongs to the demonstrations of the public space, or better, to the public component of the space that, in how much such, it is also translated in celebration in the theatrical sense of dramatic and spectacular production. The urban scene becomes then privileged circle of physical representation and metaphysics of the city. A scene in which the transformation of the urban phenomena, and of the images that derive of it, over whether to end in the interchange among space, technological, goods, services and people, are pursued by the solicitations coming from the 'projections' of the greatest expressive arts. Insofar, when we use “urban scene” in to describe the spaces of our cities, also considering the fact that a meaning evokes exhibitionist, we suggest in special way the stage-representative dimension of our metropolitan environments. It concerns besides a way to say how more other it reveals an urban phenomenology fixed by the complexity of the contemporary city that, in the employment of the computer sciences, it shapes him through the use of architectural scenes as communicative figures and of spaces as diffusers of information.
