Human attempts to develop are not necessarily successful. For instance, in the early 1970s in Italy there was a failure in the urbanistic development of suburbs and one of the most areas that were affected by this failure was the historic centres where a marked penetration by traffic had occurred whereas outside city centres, residential zones were home of millions of immigrants coming from the countryside, in general industries attracting workers from rural areas which made the mission of organizing the city very difficult (Branzi 2006). Hence, his huge number of people moving to the city made the function of the architect, the function of the project designer thus appeared to be denied or at the very least restricted to specific areas ( see figure 1 + figure 2).

in the 1950s and the 1960s a project called Non-stop city was founded by a group of designers and architects called Archizoom Associati, it considered as a myth which been significant in that time. The project considered as a myth thus was shattered the idea that a factory is a place to organize workers with their families, the idea of a well thought out programmed and organized city thus appeared beyond realization.
Prior to the Non-stop city, there were different tries to make the utopian city -with its perfect architecture and perfect building- a reality (Colex & Rossi 2013) . But what made this project special in particular that when Archizoom group come up with their project, they reckoned that the problem was not with organizing the city, it was more involving the crisis of the city, hence an alternative stance would have to be suggested.
These stances were more obvious than with previous ones because they were closely bound up with the Architectural culture,

Moreover, the refusal of the organized city of architecture comes about through a city conceived as free in its itineraries and in its choices, they learnt how to discover the freedom of movement (Art Torrents 2007). the space of the non stop city very important element to study even the space of the interiors of individual houses (se figure 5). Hence, the last two ideas influenced me to drwa a sketch from my childhood (see figure 6) that shows my library and my small swimming pull. They looked very starnge when I draw them into the room with big space but even though they looked important and special.
