Project third place
Group BiCuadro
"for Better City Better Life" is the theme of the competition. The proposed project group proposes the model of Italian style and architectural design inspired by an authentic expression of Italian city: the historic city layered. "
The big cities of the twentieth century are experiencing a profound crisis of environmental sustainability, due to excessive growth, alienation from the territory of its inhabitants and cashing a fatal failure in the field of living and
the condition of human life . The Italian urban system, based on a scheme of metropolitan cities and countries not yet not yet city where the presence is still felt in the natural context and relationships of "trust" are the core human of life report, it shows, on the contrary, a winner.
the transformation of modern megalopolis ion in non-places is caused by migration "space" from real to virtual and a gradual abandonment of the collective public space. A condition of a-space, which confuses the existence of individuals Greater urban dwellers, and transform these places but scenarios postmodern photographs of a mirror in shattered. The
"cited t vertiginous 're a c to ta Italian" seems to resist these processes and alienating the new media reality, with
continues to represent an entity of human well-defined space is still perceived psychological g icamente. It is rooted in history, the stratification it of its urban fabric is not made in time, from house to house, from generation to generation, causing the stratification mporale you hook the live of the people physical size of the c ity . The Italian piazza that is the center of a space irreplaceable. It requires as a place of being , experience and, if exemplary m ondo, art event, then a square as "historical fact" space.
Hall and eng lish in Shanghai is the representation of this "historical fact" space, this organization established to counter, which nevertheless still produces and refines excellence, is a prototype which expresses the stratification of social spirit and urban Italian and back to the idea of \u200b\u200bhistorical continuity and economic. This continuing ity is the very premise for a correct use of new technologies so that only technologies become "sustainable".
The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe project is in an envelope decomposed into a series of plates "stratigraphy" that
lead back to a succession temporal metaphor for urban training Italian . Twenty plates, as the Italian regions, with a three week "window", inside which is placed in the "Made It to l y, the roof structure in its design layout. The exhibition spaces inside affected by this scan and organize themselves between the sheets as thematic tours on different levels in which we perceive the flow of history.
The building is therefore around a square space that is revealed as the visitor enters steps to derived from the space between the distorted
week, as the streets of a town center in a city à an Italian piazza leading to the heart of the protected za Munic ipa the . From here everything is at m Erial perceived. Matter that protects, that is exposed, which filters, which creates a psychological landscape co gi "local" thanks to the effects of light and shadow. All sides are semi-open or half closed and covering the plates continue their series taking the protective function from excessive solar radiation in summer.
From this place, "intimate" you have access to different bodies, all environments "circulate" and overlook this space in its conformation lends itself to meeting and socializing between visitors of different National ity.
The willingness to respect, reflecting the nature of the Chinese context means that the Italian pavilion is present as a filter volume open on the sides allowing a view of the river to the other shore, where there is still part of an old district of Shanghai.
