"Il tempo, ininterrotta continuità, ma anche perpetuo cambiamento". La durabilità dei materiali, l'invecchiamento dei significati, le trasformazioni nel tempo: interpretare per conservare il patrimonio architettonico contemporaneo
No full textThe problem of preserving contemporary architecture is a delicate and complex one which, when it comes to architecture built during the Fascist period, involves additional facets and complexities.
The first topic discussed in this paper investigates the frail nature of this heritage. Beyond the initial ambitions, geared towards defining ‘apparently immortal’ architecture, there is the intrinsic frailty of buildings produced by the Modern Movement: on the one hand, as regards the ‘durability of materials’; on the other hand, as regards the ‘obsolescence of the meanings’ that originally led to their construction. Indeed, the transformation of these buildings into objects devoid of use is not only connected to the degeneration of materials; it also constitutes the tangible physical manifestation of the end of a ‘great illusion’ (G.K. Koenig). Therefore, the process of accurately understanding and continuously interpreting of these buildings, with their history and the changes they have undergone, becomes the starting point when attempting to preserve this heritage.
By illustrating a few examples of Rationalist architecture in Forlì – the Industrial Technical Institute, the Aeronautic College of G.I.L., the Santarelli Kindergarten and the Casa del Balilla, then of G.I.L. – this paper aims to highlight how the investigation of archive and bibliographical sources, combined with direct research carried out on these buildings, constitute distinct but complementary aspects within a broader interpretational process that, starting from an understanding of ‘built architecture’, and not of ‘represented architecture’, leads to respectful, informed and accurate restoration work that can minimise the loss of original matter and incorporate the traces left behind by time in conservation project
Il ciclo dei rilievi della Kaisersaal del Ginnasio dei Vedio a Efeso
No full textIn Vedio Gymnasium in Ephesus the hall known as Kaisersaal was decorated, as well as statues, with a series of reliefs. Three are preserved: two well known subjects with Dionysus and the chariot of Helios. The author suggests that the cycle also included a fourth relief with the chariot of Selene, and proposes an interpretation of the cycle in the light of the personality of Vedius and his friend

No full textVariations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
