« Mes chers auditeurs, reprit-il, à en croire certains esprits bornés – c’est le qualificatif qui leur convient –, l’humanité serait renfermée dans un cercle de Popilius qu’elle ne saurait franchir, et condamnée à végéter sur ce globe sans jamais pouvoir s’élancer dans les espaces planétaires ! Il n’en est rien ! On va aller à la Lune, on ira aux planètes, on ira aux étoiles, comme on va aujourd’hui de Liverpool à New York, facilement, rapidement, sûrement, et l’océan atmosphérique sera bientôt traversé comme les océans de la Lune ! La distance n’est qu’un mot relatif, et finira par être ramenée à zéro. » Jules Verne - De la terre à la lune

La Corte Reale


The project express a different way of living the inner centre of Turin. It reinterprets the distributive elemets of the typical “casa a ballatoio�, but it lets almost unchanged the formal and figurative features of the historic building. The walkway losts its distributive function and it is divided into smallest sectors belonging to the appartaments, without modify the general aspect of the internal courtyard. The walkway is divided with special devices designed to redifine its function and to give new value to the internal prospects of the courtyard. These devices are modular metallic closets with different colours that fit with the original colour of the building but also give to it a more modern and charming aspect. The courtyard becomes a cozy and calm space suggested by the residential identity of the building, but at the same time it also becomes a perfect place to host public events connecting the city with the courtyard and the lower level. The new appartments are designed to avoid the demolition of the bearing walls and especially to guaranteee an high level of horizontal and vertical flexibility. In addition to the main project the competition announcement asked for a second more unconventional solution. For this solution we imagined the courtyard as a big urban interior space. A metallic structure ideally continue the existent roof transforming the courtyard in an hibryd external plae with the features of an interior, both protected from the outside but also open to it.

In April 2014, with Expo Milano 2015 approaching, the municipality of Milan decided to transform Piazza Castello into a pedestrian area, and launched a call for ideas. The municipality asked Triennale di Milano to start a public co-design consultation for the future of Piazza Castello and eleven Architecture studios were asked to draft a design proposal for the square. #nevicata14 was the winning proposal, developed by Guidarini & Salvadeo in collaboration with a space making agency. The concept of #nevicata14, which is the Italian for “2014 snowfall�, is to recreate what happens when a thick layer of snow covers the city, erasing kerbs, traffics signs, and all the traces left by cars. The concept was inspired by the famous 1985 snowfall, when a one meter thick blanket of snow transformed Milan into an entirely pedestrian city. #nevicata14 is a complex project which works on three levels: - physical: through the design of structures that define the space of the square. - social: through the construction of online/offline processes and services for the involvement and empowerment of the community affected by #nevicata14. - political: through collective definition of a new system of rules for the use and management of the square. #nevicata14 is also a co-authored project: both experts and not, residents and citizens of Milan have contributed to the design process, with their ideas and actions. The project proposes extensive use of public pedestrian space and is intended as an ideal continuation of the Parco Sempione, it is an experiment and verification that will allow to understand more accurately the future of Piazza Castello� after EXPO 2015. #nevicata14 in fact is totally reversible as in November 2015 the space will be available for a new permanent configuration.

18


19


PROCESS #nevicata14 is a collective process that develope a temporary solution for the pedonalization of Piazza Castello in a partecipetive way based on the construction of a community of co-authors. The community is made by online and offline authors which took part to the process in various ways generating a process that is both partecipative and wiki. The proposal for the new asset of the square implicates an hybrid management model that involves both the public amministration and the society with a mixture of tools, functions, events and programmed and balanced uses.

20


Postcards

We asked people to draw on this postcard how they imagine Piazza Castello after the nevicata.

Social Media

We opened a FB page in July 2014 in order to document the process and create AN online/offline community.

21


MEMOIRES #nevicata14 was first presented to the public as a story, able to create a connection between a natural phenomenon and a project and to talk about all the people involved, the project and its contents. The story is narrated from the future and it tells how the “nevicata� appeared, how citizens discovered and experienced it. It tells about a project of devices designed in order to use the square in various ways allowing people to feel as a part of it. The story represents exactly our design process, because we think that designing a city is not just about functions, needs and efficiency. To design a city is to imagine it. And this needs to be done together with its administration and citizens in order to define a shared identity of the place. This identity will then grow into functions, uses, services, space and people.

FROM IMAGINING TO INHABITING The actual project for the square features 12 islands of white pavement, resembling spots of melting snow and creating different environments suitable for multiple uses. All islands are constructed by the combination of eight different elements of equipment. There are structures creating shade zones in different hours of the day, misting systems for refreshment, vases with different species of trees composing little groves and different benches. To experience some special light atmosphere there are islands with #MyLED lighting system from Philips and A2A. Navigational poles with information banners in three different languages are placed at access points to #nevicata14. All the installations are completely modular and will be dismantled at the end of Expo 2015. 24

S A N TA M A R I A D E L L A PA C E Rediscover a Franciscan church

27


The internship was about the study of a Franciscan church in Alzano Lombardo (BG) dated back to 1518. The research started from a small existing bibliography and some students’ works and then developed following different methods of analysis: - archive research; - comparison between data coming from books and documents with the ones coming from the direct observation of the building; - stratigraphic analysis of the north prospect and writing of Harris matrix; - iconographic analysis of the internal decorations; - complete photographic campaign. Comparing and studying the data of these researches I found out a lot of unknown informations about the church. In particular I reconstructed its main construction phases and its complicate history during the Napoleonic suppression. I discovered the involvement of important personalities like Virginio Muzio and Luigi Angelini in the history of the church and I conducted a deep analysis of all the church’s decorations, looking for their subjects and their meaning. Great value is found on the decoration of the chancel as it is the first example of neo-gothic style in Lombardia. In the end the observation of building’s external facades revealed the presence of the ancient paintings that were completely forgotten and are now going to be studied. Thanks to the positive outcomes of our work and with the help of Arch. Carlessi the church is being rediscovered by the municipality and the citizens. I am still working on this project to support the works of restoration of the building and the publishing of a book to pass on the discoveries we made.

C H A N C E L’ S I C O N O G R A P H Y The presbitery’s vault was entirely painted by Gian Battista Salvatoni, from Bergamo in 1836. The decorations have great value because they are one of the first and most articulated example of neogothic and neoclassic style in this area. The ribs vault are inspired to the Milan Dome and they are decorated with images of the evangelists and the scholar of the church on coloured tondos. The lunettes are painted in scale of gray and false relief and they all represent Jesus’ miracles, because at that moment the church was no more part of a franciscan convent, but part of a hospital for poor and hill people. The iconography of the scenes is taken from an illustrated gospel from 1507 written by Jeronimo Nadal.

THESIS PROJECT Academic year 2014/2015 Location | Brighton Authors | Martina Pini and Marco Pioventini Supervisor | Pierluigi Salvadeo Assistant supervisor | Marco Lampugnani 36


DISAPIERING An imaginary atlas on the West Pier

37


This thesis is an atlas on the imaginary developed around an architecture, the West Pier of Brighton, which since it became a ruin it lost its function and form, assuming new meanings and becoming an imaginary generator. The project has the objective of examining how in contemporary society architecture can be a medium to represent possible imaginaries.

If the medium is the message and architecture is the medium, how can architecture perform this role? The cognitive and aesthetic model of the atlas allowed us to narrate and organize the 17 projects born from the desire to highlight some of the many different imaginaries of the West Pier which inspired musicians, writers, directors and artistic movements. In the last years the pier also became an object of interest for a vast community active both online and offline which keeps being interested in the West Pier and documents its disappearance. From this precondition our intervention should be read like a series of possible scenarios which at a certain point overlap the piers’ life and in different ways interpret the existing imaginaries on the West Pier and put the basis for the generation of new ones. The new terms of this atlas have been divided into four macro-categories - natural phenomena, uses, analogies and social network which organize the contents on the base of the nature of each project. Among the projects a necessary logic, a temporary or thematic link is missing. Instead you can freely move from one line to the other discovering new scenarios and relations which demonstrate the power of the atlas as a narrative method. What we find out at the end of this design process is a small breviary, or rather five possible principles for an architecture which is opening itself to the new scenarios of contemporary society.

38



IMAGINARY Since the pier has become a ruin, losing its form and function, it radically changed his role in the society becoming a huge imaginary generator. With the word imaginary we mean the function and the content of imagination which complement real data with the possible universe and originate from reality and sensitive experience but it goes beyond generating new and unexpected images. The role of imaginary is so important in our all life that it deserve to be investigated also in its relation with architecture, and this is what we tried to do with our thesis. We developed a series of possible scenarios which in different ways interpret the existing imaginaries on the West Pier and foresee future ones.

40


AT L A S Our thesis tries to answer the question “How can architecture produce and catalyse new imaginaries in the new world?� and to do this we choose a method: the atlas. An atlas because it represents an aesthetic and cognitive model in which the observer is encouraged to travel in space and time through a narration that is not closed in itself but it lend itself to the constant research of correspondence between the element it is made of. An atlas where what is near converse with what is far away, the visible with the invisible, the information with the fiction, the personal experience with the collective history. The memory with the oblivion.

41


TA X O N O M I E S The atlas’ contents have been organized in four macro categories that are strictly related with the concept of imaginary. This categories correspond to four lines along which we hang up the atlas’ pages during the thesis exposition. This organization of the contents has many consequences. First of all the drawings communicate with each other in many different ways, allowing the spectator to read his own story, secondly it generates a constant movement of the spectator that should move left and right, backwards and forwards in order to see the details of the drawings and their relations. In the end the horizontal organization gives the idea of a process that doesn’t have a precise starting point and neither an ending one, in fact this is an open process.

N AT U R A L P H E N O M E N A

Looking at the West Pier’s photography on the internet, and especially on social networks, one immediately notices that most of them show the pier without human presence. The true subjects of these pictures are the pier and the natural phenomena which deeply modify its image. For this reason we selected some of the most common and significant meteorological phenomena of Brighton area and we developed some devices able to interact with this phenomena and with people.

la murmuration “Il was morning, and the sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea [...] and the word for Breakfast Flock flashed through the air�

Murmuration

Richard David Bach - Jonathan Livingston Seagull

During autumn and winter dark clouds begin to form in the sky above the two piers. These clouds are made of thousands of starlings which turn the sky black. The birds come together in huge clouds, wheeling, turning and swooping in unison. Look at them as they perform their aerial dance is an unique and amazing spectacle. * The best period to observe this phenomenon goes from the mid-September to December, especially in sunny days and in early evenings, just before dusk. Their timing is so precise that in many cases they are like clockwork, you know that at certain time in the evening the sky will start to turn black and it is mesmerizing watching the flock grows and grows. The reasons of starling murmuration are not clear, probably grouping together offer them safety from predators and help them to keep warm at night and to exchange information.

ANALOGY The projects of this category narrate the imaginaries most related with the dreamlike and surreal dimension of the pier. In the section, as it is in the figure of speech, we applied a process of comparison and combination of images which show the spectacular and dramaturgical dimension of architecture.

SOCIAL NETWORK Social network represented a fundamental chapter of our initial study because it made the role of West Pier as an imaginary generator clear. In this category there are both images taken from social networks which inspired in different ways some of our projects and other images that we suppose would be induced online as a consequence of our scenarios.

T E X T I L E AT M O S P H E R E S Concept store for Luigi Bevilacqua

59


The project starts from the analysis of Bevilacqua’s brand, which is a very important and antique Venetian textile brand. The study of Bevilacqua products and history allowed me to find out its identity which can be summarised in three words: classical, completed and a-fucntional. This last characteristic means that the brand has such a great historical and sociological values that its importance passes the functional dimension. I identified the brand with time, intended as cultural signs and traces. What I tried to do with this retail project is to combine Bevilaqua's strong temporal dimension with the contemporary dimension and its life trends. The project consists in a series of spaces with different material, stylistic and functional features, all related with a specific temporal dimension. In particular I developed two different temporal spaces, the narrative time which is the slow and suspended time of the classical product, and the real time which is the fast and interactive time of contemporary life. In these different time spaces people can interact with the products in many ways and understand its complex identity. The project also tries to find a way to open the brand to a B2C commerce instead of the present B2B dominant commerce and to demonstrate how the classical and the traditional can interact with contemporary life. Furthermore the store is conceived as a flexible system which can be integrated in existing building, also as a temporary shop or as an exhibition. To demonstrate this I studied a few different configurations that the shop can assume in space with different spatial qualities.

After a phase of study on Smithson’s works we came up with the idea that there is a double approach in their design process: one focused on urban scale and the other on domestic scale, both linked to their researches about inhabitants’ needs and life styles. Following a similar approach, the goal of our project is to find a way to act on huge scale through micro and specific actions. The refurbishement of the existent buildings preserve the structural system and introduce architectural devices which suggest different uses of space in order to answer inhabitants’ needs and desires. Future tenants will redesign the spaces of their homes thanks to revolving panels and sliding partitions. On the other side the five towers we designed in the big garden between the two Smithson’s blocks deal on one hand with the minimal impact they have on the ground level and on the other hand with the creation of a new landmark that can dialogue with the projects of Canary Wharf and Tower Hamlets. The towers are connected by a platform roof that funnels fluxes of people and offers a place where inhabitants can design, create and sell objects and products, as a sort of workshop-bazar. With this project we don’t want to impose a way of living but we want to create the possibility for each inhabitant to take possession of spaces and to personalize them.

The project aims at making the garden a new public space which open itself to the city and will be able to attract fluxes of people. We propose a new heterogeneous habitat in which people with different needs, interests, cultures, habits and traditions can coexist. We tried to activate a design process that starting from the objectual universe, from the infinitely small, should be the input for a new way of living the home, the city and the society.

S T R AT I F I C AT I O N S Museum and exhibition at the Roman Ruins in Desenzano del Garda

77


The aim of the project is to design a new museum for the ruins of a Roman villa in Desenzano del Garda. The shape of the museum has its origin in the analysis of urban morphology and the formal and typological analysis of the project area. The identification of a double axis system which characterized the Darsena area, in the city centre, gave birth to the idea of reintroducing this system of axis in the ruins’ site in order to create a formal connection with the city and to generate a new vital area functionally related with the life of the city. The new building museum tries to constitute itself as a city’s crux with a functional and formal re-shaping of the area, able to attract new fluxes from the city. The project is generated by the intersection of two systems, which have different materials and styles, but work together in the creation of a complex machine made up of exhibition and public spaces which can function together or separately. The museum building, that contains temporary exhibition spaces and a permanent museum about the roman villa, is a translucent volume that turns to the lake, raises and ends with a big transparent prospect. On the other hand the museum of the ruins is a massive structure lower than the first and with punctual visual connection with the city, which creates an intimate relation between history and visitors. The plan and the sections of the building underline the relation with the roman ruins, which tries to be less invasive as possible and at the same time it proposes a re-connection, protection and revalorization of the ancient villa. Around the L structure of the ruins we designed a new green area open to the city and connected to the lakeside.

The theme of the exhibition was the creation of a particular atmosphere into a 25x25cm Plexiglas cube using whatever materials. Polka dots dream is the name of the atmosphere I imagined for the exhibition and it express some spatial qualities I often look for in my projects. Colours, shapes and materials I have used to realized this maquette have a precise meaning and are all part of a story. Polka dots are made of felt because they should represent private or semi-private space where you can fell safe, warm and comfortable. Moreover they are dots and not other shapes because the circle is a symbol for perfection, eternity, continuity and protection. Polka dots are kind of a thinking place made of perfect geometries and warm materials where anything can divert you from your dreams. Polka dots are not on the ground, they are suspended with tiny green lines and they have different heights from the soil. This is because a thinking place must be far from reality to see it in from a different point of view and also because dreams are suspended in a dimension that is not real. The green colour of the lane represents calm and harmony and thinking over. The distance from reality and the dreaming atmosphere is underlined by the yellow animals that seem flying around polka dots, creating a surrealistic atmosphere and an ambiguous location. Are they in the air, in the water or where else? There is no answer because this is a polka dots dream, and everyone can have his favourite dream.
