Chiese e tessuti urbani. L'esperienza di Pasquale Culotta, dai riferimenti internazionali alle forme primarie.
2012
Pasquale Culotta, architect of churches, plays a leading role in this essay. This choice is pertinent to the theme of the conference on urban renewal, and allows recognizing some peculiar aspects of Culotta design activity, the largest part of which was carried out with Giuseppe (Bibi) Leone, who recently passed away. We can affirm that every architectural project by Culotta and Leone is always an urban project, in the sense that it’s founded on the fabric of old centers, or, as in the case of the churches built in the suburbs, has created new connections in urban areas previously characterized by shapeless asphalted spaces. Against random suburban spaces, the churches designed by Culotta a…
Pasquale Culotta, Crispino Valenziano e la tradizione della Composizione Cultuale nella Scuola di Architettura
2022
Lo scritto vuole compiere una verifica su alcune linee di ricerca del progetto per l’architettura cultuale nel quadro della cultura architettonica contemporanea in Sicilia a partire dall’esperienza di Pasquale Culotta e Crispino Valenziano. Dal loro sodalizio, nell’intreccio fecondo tra la dimensione speculativa negli scritti e nelle riflessioni teoriche e la sperimentazione concreta nell’architettura progettata e costruita, emerge la sistematica trattazione di una qualità supera gli ambiti dell’architettura sacra per riferirsi alla più profonda chiave interpretativa di architettura cultuale, concezione in genere sovente trascurata se non ignorata del tutto. Il loro operato rischiara infatt…
Venti domande a Pasquale Culotta : un’intervista immaginaria
2010
In Culotta’s teaching, and also in his profession, the ancient city has always represented the architectural text par excellence, one of the most important tools for the education of the architect, from which to continuously draw materials to transform in his own interpretation of the project. This should also be true for the historic center of Palermo, despite the many issues you have presented to us. Do the unresolved aspects of the ancient city prevent us from finding more or less spontaneous seeds of renewal, even in these conditions of great hardship, or does it still represent a source of wealth, difficult to read but legible, for the architectural designer? In the Design Laboratory w…
I workshop all’Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia
2010
In 2003 and 2004, in the month of July, Culotta was invited, first among the various Palermitan teachers who subsequently took part in this experience, to hold one of the intensive workshop courses in Architectural Composition at the IUAV. The activity of the workshops as a fundamental preparatory experience of the three-year degree course in Architecture Sciences constituted a didactic innovation of strong experimental value, being a compact themed laboratory, carried out entirely in the classroom. The courses have been designed as an in-depth study, consisting of a second design experience also entrusted to external teachers, with compulsory attendance. One of the objectives, fully achiev…
Comunicare l'esperienza del progetto
2010
Overall, the features dedicated to the publication of the creations of more or less young Sicilian designers are those that give the journal the most original and authentic character, promoting the activity of a generation of architects who over the years come to identify themselves in terms of similar design intentions and common objectives. The publication in «In Architettura» of many buildings in the Sicilian territory, even small houses, makes up the repertoire and contributes to the creation of a group, of a school. Together with the “Esercizi” column, the section called “Esperienza della progettazione” represents one of the main components of the journal which is entrusted with the mo…
Verso le città del mondo
2010
The “Città del mondo” significantly characterized the first series of «In Architecture», best representing the pioneering spirit of the journal and the architectural and cultural research of its authors. The comparison between local realities, generally small towns of the Sicilian hinterland and cities of different sizes and latitudes, already explicitly in the intentions of the method the reference to the universality of experience, making the intertwining of horizons that it allows civil progress and the growth of creative abilities.
Orme sul tempo. In aula con Pasquale Culotta
2010
The text largely develops on the basis of the transcription and contextualisation of notes from some lessons by Pasquale Culotta. In findings of various kinds, there are also traces of what has not been experienced personally but known for belonging to a specific cultural environment and therefore useful for the purposes of description. The times of the writing concern the fifteen years of knowing Culotta, against the broader background of his professional and teaching life. These times inevitably intertwine, since a man's experiences, even when specifically concluded, do not end but continue, as he loved to repeat, to produce effects and influences, quoting the metaphor of the circles gene…
La miniera dell'architettura
2010
The essay traces the main events and themes of the journal « In Architettura. Il giornale della progettazione» founded in Cefalù by Pasquale Culotta. Up until 1993, the year of publication of the last issue, the periodical represented a precious place for debate and comparison, a tool for questioning oneself on the profession of architect, on the sense of doing and teaching, as well as than an opportunity to establish contacts with distant realities, making the young Sicilian architecture an internationally known avant-garde.
