| Contenuti | The course is based on the idea that design practice is an instrument of interrogation and interpretation of the place (city, landscape), and that the architectural composition is at the same time, on the one hand, the technique and the art of the project and on the other, the establishment of a system of relationships. The composition organizes - as in a semantic - elements and figures belonging to the sphere of the history of architecture (cultural apparatus, tradition) and specific elements of the place (modification) in a critical process that we can say belonging to the sphere of art. Architecture as "critical modification" and composition as a "collection call" of things. We paraphrase the concept of "gathering" in Heidegger for the Project. The compositional process - or 'art' of the composition - constructs an aggregation of parts in the system and aims to demonstrate how it is possible, and at the same time fundamental, to construct a dialogue between these parts and the context in which it operates, as in a rhetorical process of metonymy and metaphor. To express the nature of this relationship we refer to the definition of Metalogo by Gregory Bateson, which seems to clarify the 'pivotal' aspect of an idea of 'organic' architecture: a speech in which the intervention of each individual participant reflects the structure of the speech itself as a whole. The parts of the project benefit from a unity of form and intent with the system that they themselves construct and with the system whose needs they interpret. |
