Abstract
Citation is a basic operation among all artistic and literary practices, as well as among any discursive forms of everyday life. It has also been a widespread practice within the architectural discourse since the Renaissance. What about quotations within non-verbal productions? Intertextuality works in several regions of architectural theory and practice. Taking it into account allows for the understanding of the ways by which different architects’ ideas and projects may ressonate in their contemporaries or successors. Intericonicity, intertectonicity and, above all, transurbanity are relevant categories to the understanding of local, national or universal circulation of images, material characters and urban forms in the making of the historical fabric of cities.
