Architecture is a delicate profession, because it modifies the built environment, because it modifies the relationship with the territory, the landscape, the vocation of a territory and has vowed to posterity. As in many other professions, is an inherent component of responsibility that should cross over - of course not disappoint - only the expectations of the client.
I remember a beautiful talk on the phone with the Roman architect Fabio Briguglio, author Patrick Ferri (art curator) of the book Translating rooms new ecology of living published by Gangemi. I asked him if beauty can save the world ...
say can contribute to. I would not be too optimistic, but I would say that is a good tool. Unfortunately, the beauty - trascurando i canoni classici - è un punto di vista, se lo applichiamo all'architettura mi vengono i brividi per il numero di variabili che entrano in gioco in un momento storico in cui la dominanza della bellezza o delle bellezze è frutto di sollecitazioni polisensoriali tra cui ci si perde. Quindi faccio un passo indietro, arrendendomi subito all'aleatorietà della materia e m'incuriosisco di due "ferite aperte" dell'architettura di un passato recente, ma direi ancora abitate:
DPA - Le vele di Scampia, dell'architetto Franz di Salvo, costruite tra il 62 e il 75... volevano essere allora il paradigma di un nuovo modo di interpretare la residenza sociale. Cosa pensa del divario tra le intenzioni dell'architetto e la condizione today?
FB-First things first: the architect has always played a principal and the needs that are given and communicated and to be satisfied in terms of design. The failure of many "trials" of the 70s and beyond, this city within a city, these buildings where many people were gathered, it is mainly the lack of follow that the policy was the construction of these buildings . These buildings have been taken, but then abandoned before being finished. It has not been enabled to complete a program rather than a project, because these buildings are part of a program have not been completed infrastructure, shortcuts, have been abandoned themselves, were not given the essential services, and hence the degradation .... It was the failure of architects, but us as a society have failed . We made the investment without giving them breath.
DPA - Another striking example, the same period: the ZEN District (North Expansion Area) in Palermo Gregotti. What is the "expansion" and what of "zen" in the architect's intentions and reality?
FB - I would again repeat my previous answer ... Difficult to judge in mandatory terms in relation to surgical outcome. Certainly the project was completed the second of the canons of great rigore che appartengono a Gregotti, forse in questo possiamo richiamare lo "zen" dell'essenzialità intesa come rigore, ma non saprei darle una valutazione in altri termini.
L'integrazione di una architettura nel contesto è fondamentale. Io ho lo studio a 100 metri dal MAXXI, il nuovo museo del XXI secolo di Zaha Hadid che ha avuto una inaugurazione di recente, ma in realtà ci sono ancora i lavori in corso. Questo in qualche modo riprende la critica di Gregotti sulle archistar. E' vero che in questo momento l'architettura tende a esprimersi in maniera eccessiva, nel senso che si esprime in maniera autoreferenziale, solipsistica, non comunica con il contesto, ma cerca l'autoaffermazione. In qualche caso cerca di potenziare il livello di comunicazione than the role it plays: a museum that has a special feature on a formal level, attracts more people. What I think is close to the idea of \u200b\u200bGregotti, architecture must find a measure is related to the context. No peremptory gesture, but an attempt to seek a report is relevant to the morphological quality and the story of a context. It 's a size that we have lost, the worst results are those who go to the mocks superstars without having the tools and control that have the superstars, plus.
is, in fact. It is not considered Gregotti un'archistar just for the respect that says to show towards the environment.
So what is the right way to relate to the urban context?
