Progettare le migrazioni
2019
Il lavoro è una riflessione sul tema delle migrazioni, un argomento che coinvolge il Mediterraneo, luogo di molte civiltà, intrecciate, accatastate l'una sull'altra, come scrive F. Braudel. Il tema ha interessato tutto il Mediterraneo a causa dei continui movimenti di popoli provenienti dai paesi del Nord Africa e dal Medio Oriente verso le coste siciliane, che sono stati colpiti da vecchi e nuovi sbarchi. La Sicilia, con Lampedusa in prima linea, è sempre stata un luogo di arrivo per le rotte dei migranti, anche se la maggior parte di loro vuole raggiungere le città del nord Europa. Come vedremo, il tema delle migrazioni interesserà l'intera Europa, che oggi deve dare una risposta a questo…
La necesidad de la teoría
2021
The need for theory is particularly necessary in our time, uncertain due to the crisis of foundations and knowledge for which architecture itself has become complex, full of contradictions, marked by infinite paths and sometimes unstable. The project cannot be entrusted to the contingencies of each case; creativity itself, daughter of intuition and chance, needs to be "worked" within the law, which is born from the mind and is built with logic so that the forms are appropriate and that everything is in the right place and to the extent. Especially in the Project Courses/Workshops of the first years, which constitute an "initiation" to the project, facing the theoretical moment is necessary …
Il tracomatosario di Bivona. Un’architettura per la cura dei bambini nel paesaggio siciliano
2021
Il Tracomatosario di Bivona (costruito intorno al 1950) è stata la più grande struttura sanitaria della Sicilia per la cura del tracoma: una grandiosa architettura bianca immersa nel verde che ancora oggi costituisce una “presenza” notevole nella città e che lo fu (fino a quando ebbe vita) anche per la comunità che ne godette i benefici economici e sociali. Rappresenta un’architettura “imprevista” che ha portato nelle zone più interne dell’Isola un linguaggio architettonico ed una cultura dell’abitare di qualità e di livello europeo. The trachoma hospital in Bivona (built around 1950) was the largest health facility in Sicily for the treatment of trachoma: a grandiose white architecture sur…
Beyond the screen
2021
The didactic experiences in the field of architectural design, in courses that have always had a strong workshop character, have been varied in recent years and have been carried out in different variants that, when considered as a whole, allow us to reflect on the problems and the challenges faced during the pandemic. Indeed, a didactic normally conducted with compulsory attendance suffered in a sudden andunexpected way from the cancellation of physical presence, the loss of contact with people and the “corporeality” of the project. Moreover, the absence of the physical space of the classroom (a scene inherent to the laboratory) soon led to the search for new tools and appropriate methods …
Metamorfosi
2015
Insegnare architettura-fare architettura è il carattere che Vincenzo Melluso riconosce alla Scuola di Palermo e che da anni lui stesso porta avanti. Una didattica del progetto che parte dalla lettura del grande libro del paesaggio abitato e dalle sue mutazioni, per contaminarsi poi in altre discipline e diventare infine forma architettonica Teaching architecture and making architecture is a trait of the Palermo School, says Vincenzo Melluso, who has been putting it into practice for years by first having students peruse the big book of the inhabited landscape and its mutations, then intersecting the discipline with other ones, and finally asking them to create architectural form
Re-generating the cities
2011
Even when they seem closer to the end or they experience moments of crisis, cities have the quality to regenerate. As history testifies, their tracks, streets, monuments become the seed of a new life: they born on the ruins of other big cities which continue to preserve memory. The new takes origin from what was already there, alternating end and rebirth in which fragments, spaces, shapes emerge as a program for perpetuity, urban forms that survive the change of the functions and new phenomena. This reflection leads us to think that the reading and perception of built form continues to be an indispensable tool, even if on operating plan, to update methods and strategies able to express aest…
Perspectives of a possible horizon
2018
The contemporary landscape expresses in itself all the contradictions of present time, marked by the lack of a coherent thought on the transformation of places and of a clear aesthetic elaboration. So, the project must reflect not only on the relationship between man and the landscape but above all on the importance of taking care of the physical present, on the need to return to a way of dwelling that respects the places. Architecture, looking for the complete sense of the landscape, plays a fundamental role in the reconstruction of coherence of places and reveals their latent beauty.
“Eight houses”
2011
In the cycle of the conferences that took place in the Open City-Piacenza International Summer School, the Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus introduced eight projects of isolated houses in Portugal. The projects, that were displayed at the last Venezia Architecture Biennale, People meet in architecture , born from the idea of composing an architecture capable of telling the new ways of life through the space as a mean for expressing the thinking on the contemporary society.
Nuovi media per il progetto di fruizione e valorizzazione
2011
Digital media allows the exploration of architectural space and direct control of its transformations in all phases of the project. Therefore the designer’s skills increase and the quality of the project is benefitted by this. Representing the reality that surrounds us, land or built, landscape or archaeological evidences the opportunity is provided model to all the factors used to describe the same reality. Through current modeling software you can achieve more complex forms of representation. Indeed they add up to traditional graphics media and an additional system of information is available. It becomes a stimulus to our conceptual skills, activating them to govern the complexity and to …
