1.2 interior

Recently, I discovered a collection of notes and pictures part of the collaborative work between Paul Auster and Sophie Calle. This partnership started in the Nineties with Double Game, a book where the relationship between literary fiction and reality was constantly mutating: art imitated life / life imitated art.

During the last year, the artist and the author, decided to start a project taking place in Venice, inside and outside the abandoned church of S.Maria del Pianto.

The aim of the project was to create a room in the present for a place destined to be erased from the passing of time by bringing the stage of life from the outside of the church to the inside (and viceversa).

Once again the two artists worked on duality questioning the role of the director and the role of the viewer, not accepting the division between audience and stage.

The project and the derived exhibition wants to create a pretext for the design of a space for experiences and meetings, where every visitor can create his own narrative starting from the fictitious relationship designed from the two artists.

I’m an author haunting for characters!

I let my characters tell me how they live the space. I take a sample : a woman, a man, an old man, a couple of tourists and a child. A calle, a campo, some bridges, crossed with velocity and in different times of the day. paths around which a scenography takes shape.

They are called parallel narratives.

DETOURNEMENT OF SENSES

piazza banchi genova

2.2 urban interior

The dominance of vision over all other senses - and the consequent bias in cognition - has been observed by many philosophers. [...]

Architecture, as with all art, is fundamentally confronted with a question of human existence in the space and time, it expresses and relates man’s being in the world. [...]

The dominance of the eye and the suppression of the other senses tends to push us into detachement, isolation and exteriority.

The hegemony of vision has been reinforced in our time by a crowd of technological inventions and endless multiplication and production of images -an unending rainfall of images- as Italo Calvino calls it.

-The fundamental event of the modern age is the conquest of the world as picture- writes Heidegger.1 We believe that architecture has the power to discard this tendency.

We tried to locate ourselves in a tradition of architects who tried to adopt sensorial perception as a generator element of the project, not just like a passive consequence.

The theme was explored through three different levels of proximity between the receiver and the transmitter: Multiplication Restriction Suppression Every level of perception correspond to a specific device and is related to the scale of its tool and its elevation inside the square.

The square is identified like a possible geography which “includes living beings and the shapes of their movement through the spaces of life”1. In this square are designed three Vessels, or, tools for sensorial experimentation.

The concept of Vessel include a dialogical meaning the container and the circulating system.

Bazar Restricta Acoustic Intimacy These are the three Vessels, which have the aim to apply different stimulation levels of the senses trough the use of materials, the scale, the tools heights and the capacity of the device in realtion with the people.2

he imagination and daydreaming are timulated by dim light and shadow. n order to think clearly, the sharpness f vision, has to be suppressed, for houghts travel with an absent-minded nd unfocused gaze. omogeneous bright light paralyses he imagination in the same way that omogenization of space weakens the xperience of being, and wipes away he sense of place. The human eye is most perfectly turned for twilight rather han bright daylight.1

BEAUTIFUL CORNERS

beekkant brussel

Located between the gentrified central area of Brussels and the working-class community, Beekkant represents one of the most socially complex cases in Belgium, establishing a social periphery, not a geographical one.

The project responds to the conditions of insecurity, precariousness and poverty of this part of the city through the activation of a „dead landscape“ through a mixed use building (tertiary and residential) to increase the type and the hours of use.

Both the café open till late night at the groundfloor and the radio broadcasting station at the top of the building, are spaces that work almost all day long and are dedicated to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, without the pretence to attract a middle-class\gentrified clientele.

The project interacts with the surroundings in two different ways: on the south the facade partecipates to the semicircle of tall buildings overlooking the roundish area near the station, while on the back side it relates to the lower constructions.

The result is a building that despite developing on different heights, maintains a compact and uniform body thanks to the material and formal continuity.

Entirely of polycarbonate, excluding the glass facade of bar, the main mass of the building steps back on the South side to emphasize the flow coming from the station; while the East facade, the most private side of the building, folds to direct the gaze away from the railroad.

The ephemeral quality of the translucent panels dematerializes the building by diffusing light during the day, while during the night it multiplies the internal lighting of the compact volume.

The continuous mutation of the visual quality is fundamental for a building that has to work 24/7 and therefore cannot cancel itself in the dark but must reinvent and points outs its presence.
