02 ONE HISTORY IN NINE PIECES FOR MANY MODERNITIES

ARCHITETURE AS A COMPOSITION

ARCHITECTURE AS AN IDEOLOGY

ARCHITETURE AS A RENEWAL

ARCHITETURE AS CHALLENGE

ARCHITETURE AS A MONUMENT

ARCHITECTURE AS ANTIMONUMENT

ARCHITECTURE AS BOURGEOIS

ARCHITECTURE AS CONTEXT

ARCHITECTURE AS ETHIC & SOCIAL

SO, WHAT WE UNDERSTAND?

THE ROLE OF THE ARCHITECT INTO SOCIETY IS NOW WEAK. DOES OUR SOCIETY NEEDS ARCHITECTS LIKE US? ARE WE SURE? WHAT KIND OF ARCHITECT NEED OUR SOCIETY? I’M NOT SAYING WHAT KIND OF MONKEY ZAHA NEED…

1 - Secret & lies

SECRETS & LIES

I’M A LIAR

2 – you teach what you believe in

IS IT TRUE THAT

Italian university is corrupted and there is no meritocracy so unqualified teachers are in better position than those more qualified?

Adjunct professors and tutor are not going to be paid for what they do? Yes, it happens in La Sapienza and it doesn’t matter if I have a PhD or a secondary school diploma.

If you want to get a tenure you have to be a slave of an influent professors for a long time?

SO, WHY ????????? ????????????????? ????????????????? ????????????????? ????????????????? ?????????????????

TO FLY YOU MUST BE LIGHT LIKE A BIRD NOT LIKE A FEATHER

2 – you teach what you believe in

I TEACH WHAT I DO BELIEVE IN

THOSE WHO KNOW, DO

THOSE WHO DOESN’T, TEACH

I TEACH AND DO, SO I AM THE WORST!

BEING A GOOD STUDENTS DOESN’T IMPLY THAT YOU WILL BE A GOOD ARCHITECT

BEING A GOOD ARCHITECT DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER

RESULTS NOT THE PROCESS
