“qui, dentro, lì, fuori”

January 22nd, 2015

 

Le persone e le cose sempre al centro della sua attenzione: questo è insieme il primo ricordo e l’eredità più importante del lavoro di Filippo Alison che ci ha lasciato proprio oggi.

Le persone viste nel loro essere individualità singole o collettività, in relazione ai contesti, e le cose intese come manufatti in cui si manifesta la cultura – non solo materiale – di ogni paese. La disciplina degli interni con il compito di creare relazioni a partire da questi due paradigmi, senza dimenticare l’ambiente nel quale le azioni si svolgono, introducendo il terzo termine di una singolare teoria che non ha mai trovato una vera e propria formulazione.

Questa l’eredità di un uomo che ha trascorso tutta la sua vita cercando di guardare da vicino le cose e le persone, quelle che le cose le usano ma anche quelle che le cose le realizzano.

Squared square meters

December 18th, 2014

 

Squared square meters: Un nuovo possibile paradigma dell’abitare in condivisione a Milano, Laura Doardo (POLMI DEC2014)

L’abitazione contemporanea diviene il punto d’incrocio dei mass-media, al punto che il garage potrebbe sostituire la casa, questa “dimora” che, in origine, altro non era se non il “parcheggio” dei mobili del nomade”. La riduzione dell’architettura ai suoi spazi e alle sue dimensioni stabilite da tipologie abitative e regolamenti edilizi, a scapito degli eventi, risulta uno dei principali ostacoli. Gli eventi, le pratiche e gli oggetti che fanno da tramite tra l’uomo e l’azione, diventano i regolamentatori degli spazi stessi. Si può immaginare di plasmare un materiale viscoso all’interno di un involucro elastico; quest’ultimo sarà, entro i suoi termini di rottura, costretto a deformarsi. Allo stesso tempo non è possibile imporre un involucro “a lunga durata”: “Houses will last less long than we. Each generation will have to build its own city”.

Lablog chairs MSc in Architecture @ POLIMI

December 11th, 2014

On the 11th of December, after a public election, Gennaro Postiglione was selected to Chair the Master of Science in Architecture-Milan at the School of Architettura e Società – Politecnico di Milano.

Estratto dal programma di candidatura

[…] Il nuovo Corso di Studio deve essere quindi in grado di proporsi sia in continuità con i temi della grande tradizione progettuale milanese (quali il disegno della città, il progetto sul costruito, la cura transcalare dello spazio, l’attenzione agli aspetti costruttivi, gli interni come spazio primario dell’architettura) sia in sintonia con quelli di attualità del dibattito architettonico contemporaneo (quali la fragilità dell’ambiente, la riduzione delle risorse disponibili, la vulnerabilità e la diseguaglianza sociale, la tutela e la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale).

MeLa @ Biennale finissage

November 17th, 2014

22-23 November 2014
Venice, Italy | Biennale di Architettura 14th, Padiglione Centrale, Sala F

 

MeLa is pleased to invite you to a two-day event dedicated to the launch of the MeLa Critical Archive, promoted in the framework of the final week of the Architecture Biennale 2014.

The MeLa Critical Archive is a digital platform aimed at cohering, conveying and sharing the interdisciplinary investigations produced within the four year long Research Project. This archive was not conceived a mere repository of the research outcomes, but rather as a multipurpose dissemination tool drawing together and organizing the main insights by the involved researchers through a critical post-reflection; as a communicative project pointing out the complexity of the different approaches and findings, and illustrating the unitary jet multifarious cultural proposal; as well as a research instrument fostering questions, enhancing synergies, highlighting potentialities and opening further perspectives.
