Taranto città arcipelago. Un caso di emergenza abitativa

2022

Lo scritto restituisce in chiave critica gli esiti della sperimentazione progettuale, sviluppata in occasione del seminario itinerante di progettazione architettonica Villard, sul tema della rigenerazione dei quartieri di Edilizia Residenziale Pubblica a Taranto. Una città fortemente segnata dalla sensibile questione legata alle oltre millecinquecento richieste di accesso da parte dei cittadini aventi diritto ad una casa. Una condizione che determina un forte disagio sociale nelle famiglie meno abbienti escluse dall’assegnazione di alloggi per la limitata offerta di abitazioni pubbliche. Le aree oggetto di studio del Seminario coincidono con tre distinte parti della città di Taranto: Tambur…

La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.

2021

Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaTaking into account some salient aspects of the conception production and opposition to the Toronto Quayside project by Sidewalk labs the article discusses the influence of urban data-digital infrastructures on the architectural design of the house and the neighbourhood. The extension of remote control on the practices of everyday life in the domestic space emphasized by the daily Covid 19 pandemic constitutes a useful advertising reference and an accelerator for the planetary oligopolists of urban data such as Alphabet. The fusion of the new emblems of techno-emancipation and sustainability in experimental hypotheses that can be built both in whole or in parts draws a new horizon in which the domestic space generates a technological profit and the inhabitants are transformed into producers. From a historical perspective our reality eclipses the idea of technology as an anonymous contribution to collective progress demonstrated by Giedion in Mechanization takes command and subverts the allegorical value assigned by the Architecture of the Seventies to the relational utopias of the Web Stem and Cluster.

Sine cura. Verso il ri-ciclo dell'architettura del secondo Novecento

2019

Gli argomenti discussi nel saggio interrogano il destino che il Codice dei Beni Culturali (2004- 2011) determina per le opere del secondo Novecento. Nella costruzione del futuro di questi manufatti, che per funzione, tecnologia e cicli d’uso sono spesso segnati dall’obsolescenza e dall’abbandono, le ambiguità e le incongruenze delle attuali procedure legislative sollecitano profondamente il ruolo culturale delle esperienze di ricerca che usano metodologie meta progettuali. Il confronto fra alcuni casi italiani ed altri europei rimarca il ruolo del progetto nella costruzione di una prospettiva di tutela trasformativa per il costruito del secondo Novecento. Nel quadro di azione marcato dall’o…

Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E UrbanaThe essay questions the future's possibilities to operate on the buildings of the second half of the twentieth century according to the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage (2004-2011). When arguing how to encourage the re-use of these artifacts which are often marked by short-life technology cycles obsolescence and abandonment the ambiguities and inconsistencies of current legislative procedures deeply stress the cultural role of research experiences that use project-oriented methodologies. The comparison between some Italian and other European cases highlights the role of a design approach in the construction of a transformative protection perspective for the built matter of the second half of the twentieth century. In a framework aiming to encourage a reconciliation between the recent built environment and the new paradigms of sustainability and circular economy architecture must recognize re-cycle practices as a main theoretical and procedural node. To modernize the late Modern built environment with contemporary construction components is not simply a matter of technical knowledge and expertise: but a theme with theoretical density aesthetic and ethical values. The architectural project in this field today must ask for greater congruence between the bureaucratic and administrative levels and the real consistency of this corpus. It is a matter of identifying strategies to equip it with capabilities meanings and contents remembering that demolition wastes have unsustainable environmental costs and uncertain results concerning the necessary new attribution of political and semantic meaning that these places await.

Programs and goals

2018

New Next Nature takes root in precise places and flourishes by exploiting the conditions of the “suspended” and “waiting” areas. OC OPEN CITY International Summer School has always had, since its first edition in 2010, a recognizable identity: to develop projects with global themes, experimenting and testing them locally, in the complementary landscapes that the particular urban and territorial condition of Piacenza gives us. The preparatory phase for OC2017 has further strengthened this double register by developing a rich and integrated background where the dense and stable parts of city is continuously compared with large areas (highlighted in yellow and black in the diagram alongside) a…

Il colore delle idee

2018

The myth of white in architecture has ancient roots partially sprouting from a classic ideal revived by modernism that now seems to acquire new values. Also in light of its current global dissemination – from the US to Europe and Japan – white architecture cannot be considered as a fad, nor can it be reduced to a mere Mediterranean character. Fran Silvestre Arquitectos’ production exemplifies the complexity of this phenomenon with its presence in the contemporary international scene and a range of works, mostly housing designs, of remarkable quality. The trajectory illustrated in this book partially results from the re-reading of the modern as well as Mediterranean architectural tradition, …

Kind of white

2019

A arquitectura de Fran Silvestre é composta de poucos signos essenciales, linhas, planos e volumes pensados e construídos com grande controle geométrico. O monocromatismo franco não é um aspecto marginal; pelo contrario, está ligado ao proceso criativo, constitui-se como parte de uma linguagem arquitectónica e exalta o seu carácter. Fran Silvestre’s architecture is composed of few essential signs, lines, planes and volumes thought and built with great geometric control. The candid monochromaticity is not a marginal aspect; on the contrary, it is connected to the creative process, it is constituted as part of an architectural language and exalts its character.

A hypothesis for the redevelopment of the Archaeological Park of Agrigento

2023

The project here presented is developed at the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo. It is an in-progress research project that combines two fields of knowledge: architectural design and architectural survey. These two branches are combined in a functional redevelopment project of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, one of the largest and extraordinary archaeological parks in the Mediterranean area. This interdisciplinary research is driven by three fundamental strategic actions: “survey”, “design” and “representation”. The intervention has four fundamental goals. The first goal is the survey - performed with laser scanning and photogrammetric techniques - of the gymn…

Una scatola di luce, un gioco di sguardi

2015

Il padiglione progettato dall’architetto siciliano con la collaborazione dell’artista Erich Demetz è un vero manifesto dei principi fondativi del suo fare architettura. Attraverso la luce, il cubo diventa luogo di sosta e meditazione da una parte; e di contemplazione del paesaggio dall’altra The pavilion designed by the Sicilian architect with the collaboration of the artist Erich Demetz is an actual manifesto of the fundamental principles he uses in his architecture. By means of light, the cube becomes a place for rest and meditation on one hand, and for contemplation of the landscape on the other

Architects as tool consumers: discovering trends in software and programming languages for Architecture with Google Trends

2019

Architect professional figure and skills have undergone innumerable evolutions throughout human history, and although the architect's task is always substantially to design buildings and spaces, the use of digital tools has undoubtedly marked the greatest change in architectural design since the Renaissance, if not since the time of Vitruvius (Sacchi 2018). However, when we talk about the relationship between architecture and digital tools, we immediately think about projects of some contemporary architects and researches of some important academics come to mind. Digital tools are now everywhere within the fragmented world of architecture: from multinationals firm with offices in the major …
