The Project of Maurizio Sacripanti’s Science Museum
2020
The essay aims to explain, through relation and drawings, the process that led to the critical redrawing of the New Science Museum in Rome. In order to understand the 1983 project, it was necessary to establish the key points of Maurizio Sacripanti’s design process. The first part is entirely addressed to the biography, specifically analyzing the salient points of his life and considering the artistic and literary influences that at that time gravitated in the Roman context. The second part analyzes Sacripanti’s thought in order to understand every facet of his architectural language, together with the study of the most significant projects, in order to draw the necessary conclusions about …
Le grafie e le visioni in Oltremare di Umberto Di Segni
2022
Between the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Bologna held an extraordinary exhibition on Italian architecture in the overseas territories, accompanied by a catalogue which, through period drawings and photos, gave an insight into a very interesting moment in the history of Italian architecture. The “Quarta Sponda”, at that time thought of as the nineteenth region of the Homeland, was to be a true extension of Italy that would be inhabited, according to a well-defined colonisation programme, by one hundred thousand colonists.The role of architecture was central to the process of founding new agglomerations and representative buildings envisaged by the Fas…
Reading the Transformations of an Urban Edge: From Liberty Era Palermo to the City of Today
2019
To honour the battle of 27 May 1860, in 1910 the Palermo City Government decided to realise a commemorative monument. A position at the centre of a large circular plaza was of have afforded the monument a greater solemnity. The commission for the Monument was awarded to Ernesto Basile. In 1927 the City Government decided to dedicate the monument to the Fallen and asked Basile to complete the monument adding an architectural backdrop. The first version of the new project was a fence that enveloped the entire square and the ring road, interrupted only by entrances near the streets flowing into the square, and dividing it into four sectors. The final design instead called for the realisation o…
Palermo. Un museo virtuale - Palermo. A virtual museum
2016
Conoscenza, conservazione e valorizzazione sono tra gli obiettivi principali delle discipline riguardanti il disegno, il rilievo e la restituzione grafica dell’architettura, che non si fermano soltanto alla documentazione dello stato di fatto ma comprendono anche ricostruzioni congetturali del processo diacronico di modificazione del monumento ai fini di una sua più ampia conoscenza; la storia del monumento si inserisce, in tal modo, nella storia della città e dei suoi cambiamenti culturali; queste nuove immagini sono veri e propri importanti elementi di un "virtual museum" del sito e, più in generale, della città sulla quale esso insiste. Da molti anni, ormai, i docenti, gli assegnisti di …
Redrawing as key to the spatial thought of Hana Kučerová Zaveská
2017
The paper analyzes two works of Hana Kučerová Zaveská, Czech architect and designer who has made an important contribution to the Modern Movement, dealing with social housing and social services and placing its emphasis on improving the status of women. His brief but intense activity is developed in Czechoslovakia in the period between the wars and is influenced by the architecture and art movements that occurred in the country during the twenties and thirties. In the footsteps of Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, she creates furniture where functionality is combined with the elegance and in which we recognize the signature style of the designer, her innovative use of materials and produ…
Rappresentazioni di un trattato incompiuto. Un progetto di Francesco Muttoni per L'Architettura di Andrea Palladio vicentino... Representation of an …
2018
Il saggio riguarda l'interpretazione grafica di un progetto di Francesco Muttoni elaborato per il libro X del suo trattato L’Architettura di Andrea Palladio vicentino..., in particolare quello per il Palazzo Reale per Federico IV di Danimarca. Il libro X non fu mai pubblicato e l’album dei disegni delle tavole a corredo del Libro è custodito a Washington presso la Biblioteca del Congresso. Lo studio riguarda la ricostruzione del progetto di Muttoni evidenziando le incongruenze fra le rappresentazioni delle tavole e tentando, al contempo, di costruirne le probabili logiche formali. The essay concerns the ‘representation’ of a project by Francesco Muttoni elaborated for the book X of his trea…
Three Projects for Council Houses by Lina Bo Bardi: from Virtual Reconstruction to Graphical Analysis
2018
The paper deals with the studies conducted in 1951 in Brazil by Lina Bo Bardi on the issue of council houses. The three examples were never realised but do help to describe the intention of the architect to promote a “rational” way of living, from a small house to an urban complex. The first project concerns a small house with a close relationship between architecture and nature. The second project concerns three housing units that embody the idea of the housing cell as a constituent piece of a community. The housing typologies to which the architect has referred are: the indigenous maloca, a community house used by the Amazon natives; the Italian peasant house with its living room; and the…
Disegnare il mutevole. Il concorso per il grattacielo Peugeot di Maurizio Sacripanti
2020
Maurizio Sacripanti, one of the most significant figures in Italian architecture in the second half of the twentieth century, has experimented with his own architectural language making use of the influences of literature and contemporary art. In the Roman architect, in fact, different artistic experiences coexist, programmed art, megastructure and structuralism, optical-art, visionary architecture and kinetic art, these perhaps the most interesting ones. Other references can be found in the previous experiences of De Stijl and Futurism. The project for the competition for the Peugeot skyscraper in Buenos Aires seems to contain, in his conception and drawings, continuous references to all t…
U.I.R.D.A. – Unbuilt Italian Rationalism Digital Archive
2018
For twenty years, the architecture of Italian rationalism through the digital modelling has been investigated. Very often, the production of a model and the consequent representation of tridimensional views, in many case studies, as outcome of the research on architecture have been considered. Actually, the digital model, intended as a critical tool, has to be conceived as a ‘starting point' for graphic analysis of architecture and not as the outcome. Indeed, it is associated to other graphics, sometimes not ‘deducted' from the model, useful for the understanding/translation of architecture. The construction of the model is not the construction of a simple image, operation, which is often c…
Drawing and Project at the VChUTEMAS. Graphic Interpretations
2019
The article deals with the graphic study of the project for the Kominern Palace designed in 1929 by Lidija Komarova, one of the students of the Russian Laboratories known by the acronym VChUTEMAS, founded in 1920 in Moscow. Strongly characterized by the revolutionary atmosphere that was delineating the artistic progress based on the synthesis of all the plastic arts, the Russian Laboratories attributed to the architecture a position of the first order, a perfect association between the scientific possibility and the art technique. The redrawing of this project allows to deepen the compositional principles of the new architectural formation of the Eastern European avant-garde, providing digi…
