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…
Architetture nel cassetto
2017
Lo studio riguarda la lettura di due progetti mai realizzati di Gae Aulenti, del 1963 e del 1972, la Casa nel bosco e la Villa a Capalbio. Si vuole dimostrare che la ricostruzione congetturale attraverso i modelli digitali è un atto chiarificatore di alcuni aspetti dell’architettura demandati, spesso, soltanto alla parola scritta; attraverso la costruzione di inedite rappresentazioni le parole prendono forma attraverso un nuovo corpus figurativo; il modello digitale non è soltanto l’immagine virtuale dell’edificio ma esso assurge a immagine possibile diventandone la sua sola realtà esistenziale. The study concerns the reading of two unbuilt projects by Gae Aulenti, of 1963 and 1972, the Hou…
Female Architecture
2015
The objective of this study is that one, starting from the initial considerations, to give back to the history of architecture, through drawing as a critical means of inquiry, the thought and work of some women-architect who, between 1926 and 1962, have designed and/or built buildings of fine architectural quality. The critical re-drawing, which in this case is mimetic to the construction of the project, wants to make manifest the thought of some figures of the Modern Movement often relegated to an unknown fate; in particular it analyses a part of the activity of Lilly Reich, Helena Niemirowska Syrkus and Charlotte Perriand. The study aims to build a graphic inedited and exhaustive repertor…
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…
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…
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…
Postfazione
2021
The graphic analysis, as Giuseppe Pagnano stated with great clarity in 1975, allows us to fully explore aspects that verbal language can only touch; it does not make us re-discover the rules of architecture but, as every critical operation, makes us understand which rules the architect used and above all it makes us understand why he formulated certain solutions rather than others. Therefore, investigating architecture with drawing not only means using the language used to design it but also using a privileged access key for understanding the shape. Graphic analysis, therefore, is a useful ‘tool’ for architectural criticism and the history of architecture because it contributes to the knowl…
Graphic Transcriptions : Le Corbusier and the Bologna enigma
2019
The “architectures in the drawer” turn out as real thermometers of the culture of their time. The digital model, continuously swing- ing in motions of History, Representation and Design, is the catalyst of the representation, the starting point for the construction of new images of possible architectures. The drawing is a knowledge process hat intervenes both on the field of project making and processing, and on that of interpretation and critical analysis of the work. The redrawing of Église pour Bologne wants to reconstruct the path that those ‘eyes’ had seen to fornent knowledge of an architecture of which remain few graphics clues.
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…
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 …
