UNPLUGGED ITALY

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

090220_postcards-11

UNPLUGGED ITALY is a series of Architecture Lectures (at Museum of Architecture and at AHO) by Italian architects whose work & offices are not published in the Italian main architectural press (very much involved with international archi-star system). In contrast with the wide presence of architecture publisher houses (probably the highest in all Europe or even in the whole Globe) and with the highest % of Schools of Architecture in Europe, in Italy there is a lack of information about the average production/professionality: Italian architects if not of a really “international dimension” are very often forgotten or dismised even before they can express all their potentiality.

Welcome to ca. 40 students, 6 tutors, 3 professors challenging the task to re-design a new environment for Milanse subway (MM Milano, Linea 1/Red) to transform the mezzanin level into a real urban space, with services and shops, completely integrated with level zero urban life. The work will negotiate the relationship among the place/existent, the functional program and architectural composition: giving shapes and feelings/emotions to practical solutions.

During the introduction meeting, the following materials were presented:

Metromondo: by Claudia Brunelli, Rossella Destefani, Margherita Parati

The paradigma of Interiors: by Gennaro Postiglione

Lettera a Sverre Fehn

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Caro professore,
che strano destino è quello che mi lega a lei: dal nostro primo incontro al giorno della sua scomparsa.

Il primo, assurdo, in una libreria di Karl Johan a Oslo, nel 1986, quando cercando l’unica pubblicazione che raccoglieva il suo lavoro e il suo pensiero, The thought of Construction, una commessa mi disse che il libro era esaurito ma che se avessi aspettato un attimo lei mi avrebbe portato lì, in quel momento, il suo autore: annuii senza capire veramente. Pochi secondi dopo ebbi il piacere di stringere la mano a lei e sua moglie Ingrid. Così, senza alcuna programmazione, furono messe le basi per una collaborazione ventennale che portò alla redazione di due monografie e di una mostra compilativa che ha girato il mondo per molti anni.
