Officinae Purpuriae: per una misura del colore tra forma e materia.
No full textLa ricerca, seguita in qualità di coordinatore, indaga le qualità percettivo-sensoriali delle superfici, declinate nella dimensione identitaria delle antiche Officine purpuree. L’indagine studia la possibilità dell’esperienza sensoriale di essere arricchita di senso, interpretando la pelle dei materiali come “zona d’interfaccia” fra l’oggetto e il corpo. In particolare, intende sfruttare le qualità estetiche e l’identità stratificata nella storia che appartengono al colore porpora, “progettandone la sensorialità” attraverso una serie di scale tattili e ottiche, estese anche a colorazioni succedanee, come la robbia e la cocciniglia. Simili colori agiscono con modalità ogni volta diverse in relazione ai vari supporti: il lino, la canapa, la lana e il cotone. Il progetto apre così a una sperimentazione contemporanea sui linguaggi cromatici come rivelatori della natura dei materiali.

The investigation studies the possibility of enhancing the sensory experience with a kind of meaning, interpreting the outer skin of materials as an “interface zone” between the object and the body. In particular, it aims to exploit the aesthetic qualities and the identities stratified in the history surrounding the colour purple “designing its sensoriality” through a series of tactile and optical scales which are also extended to substitutive colours, such as madder and cochineal. Similar colours act in different ways each time in relation to the various support media including linen, hemp, wool and cotton. The project thus opens up contemporary experimentation with colour languages as detectors of the nature of materials.

MARIO BACCIOCCHI E L’IMMAGINE DELLO SVILUPPO
No full textWith the book Mario Bacciocchi,
Stazioni di Servizio AGIP, 1952-1954,
written by Antonio Labalestra and
Tiziano De Venuto, the “letture di architettura”
series entrusts an architectural
historian and an architect with a
different theme than those dealt with
so far. Not a project narrated according
to the series’ typical scheme, but a
cornerstone of Italian infrastructural
expansion. The experiment, fully successful,
designs a prototype capable of
supporting multiple variations without
losing its character. The medium
is an invariant: the cross-section.
Each typological variation keeps it intact
without affecting its charm and
function. As a consequence, objects,
touches, and light flowing between
planes become actions that originate
from the composition and experience
that the architects of “modern
Italian” had accumulated in previous
decades. A nationwide message had
to be launched, regardless of the degree
of industrialisation. Enrico Mattei’s
approach has always been naive.
I still remember his interventions to lay the methane distribution network
in historic centres using unauthorised
night raids. By entrusting Bacciocchi,
Mattei seeks a new approach to
the emerging car industry branch. He
does so through architecture, with a
small object capable of reawakening,
in the memory of most, the emotions,
smells and noises of a semi-rural Italy
that, thanks precisely to architecture,
is changing. This book deals with this
change by investigating the compositional
interpretation of a small architectural
miracle
