A thought on the state and the church square



are difficult years, the years when an old ruling class, not only age, struggling to leave the power he has consolidated around it in all fields, from government to universities to private . Years in which the family, the only real engine and only factor that is keeping us out the door the economic crisis that has already involved Greece, Portugal, Ireland, is in crisis. Years in which the young years fear of having children, getting married, years in which children earn less than fathers. Years in which the politicians do nothing but fight on television and never, but never, legislate and govern. These are years in which the various Alfano, La Russa, Rutelli, Bindi, letters, etc., etc., seem more concerned about treating their image, taken in the very wide sense, television studios rather than doing their duty as legislators, controllers , parliamentarians, administrators. These are the years in which the Cardinal Tettamanzi and Cardinal Martini are defined red because they say things to the left, or common sense, not the politicians at all levels, especially those on the left - that should not be afraid to say the things they say the Cardinals Milan -.

That's what I want in this day of St. Ambrose deal today.

is not the first time it happens and it will not last: in Italy, but let's say in Western Europe, the Church is not true that invades the camp, and this comes from someone who left a long time, now I do not know because, increasingly vote left - so much is changing and is moving toward a moderately disgusting and repulsive, the Italian left was born from the rubble of the PCI -, Down with these balls! The Church does not invade the field, the Church holds a vacuum, the political vacuum left by this pointless and arrogant political class of forty to sixty careerists and unnecessary and attached to the chair. It is not the
first time that happens, I said. I will mention two among many examples showing examples of Milan, the example of two bishops: Ambrose and Carlo Borromeo.
Ambrose was elected bishop at a time of great crisis, when the Emperor, who resided in Milan, was incapable of governing the city and the tensions that it went crazy. With his wisdom filled the prelate a space, a void. And with his presence and his strength went so far as to condemn the emperor who had made a killing in Ravenna incredible. In other times and other people, other politicians, stronger, on the one hand and other church figures on the other hand, that sentence would not lead to anything - are the first year of Christianity are certainly not the years of the Church and powerful military - and instead the emperor returned to kneel before the bishop, recognized his superiority and only then went on to govern. Mind you, I repeat, Ambrose merely denounce a massacre of innocent people, did not say anything absurd or shocking. Simply the politicians of that time, personified in my emperor, was so corrupt as to not understand that killing thousands of innocent people in a stadium only to quell a small town was facing a very serious thing.

Carlo Borromeo in Milan but came at a time when the economic, political and moral was incredibly degraded. The political class Sforza of Milan after the defeat had not yet taken up and for about fifty years could not literally to administer the city and the Duchy - a decree of the emperor also enshrines the total dependence of the Duchy from the imperial will, obliterating years of struggle for independence -. The governors and the military empire, the English, then were too busy to maintain their role and their prestige and were often in cahoots with the local aristocratic families. In this context, a small man but harsh and stern, uncompromising, literally rolled over the city and completely transforming the Duchy and implementing a real moral reform and urban planning. I wonder was that Charles had invaded or the directors who were not able to manage? - Think that only a few years ago but the imperial troops were to invade Rome, for the second time in its long history was violated -.

I would say that in my town recently was a pastor intelligent and hard-to bring to the fore issues such as housing, that the then administration could not even deal with, but instead on the feast of St. Ambrose, I thank Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi for the words he used yesterday in the message to the city. Yesterday, while in fact he reminded the auttuali administrators the importance of intercultural dialogue, in a city that more and more hate and less welcome, while remember how hard they do, because even the latest state cuts, the non-profits and how well, on the other hand, they do taking care of things that governments do not deal with them, also came to talk about plans and PGT.
Yeah! Now that a cardinal is not talking about urban smile, cry. As an architect and a man I left pissed off about this invasion of the field or should I get angry because politicians and architects are not able to get equal attention, today indispensable to things, to the economic situation, family, etc, Who administers? Perhaps the cardinal and his staff, the Church, talk more with people and are more among the people? What kind of politicians we have, right and left, if anyone can think of now no additional cards and other red tape - the plan is done by Nerviano do not know how many cards, often useless - cards, analysis cards of counter cards, projects that never made, etc., have to do only one card yards social movements. A map of the worksites of the people who work for others, for immigrants, the poor, this needs to Milan, "of our cities, they need not make new cards PGT (Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, 6 / 12/10 at 18:45). A paper that is where you can find all the associations that operate territory, a charter administrators remember the importance of dialogue not only in key election by the respective associations or groups of volunteer organizations, to remind the directors to listen to what their needs, the needs of those in contact with people and not with the bureaucracy - not to put on concerts in which one of these is a concert ... that is obviously the most part, because most have heard, the first -.
From here you can and must start again, I believe that a program for the upcoming elections is easy to do, just talk to people working in the territory ... not really invent anything!

Redevelopment Don Musa Garbatola (part 3)



3. Project for the new square

The square of every village is the symbolic place of his community, the place where form and its values, culture and solidarity among its members, and where, it creates images of this bond, its signs approved. In large cities
lives and this relationship is expressed on a different scale than the smaller centers: cities in the bond with the inhabitants of the figures is less direct and heartfelt. The experience of the project in small towns is therefore important and decisive in contemporary culture. It is starting from similar cases that you can really build a culture of the area again with organic society and the men who compose it.

Garbatola The square, in our view, must be different from the square in a big city and should be, especially with respect to public places and restless abstract of a metropolis. And this difference, this feature is for us the most interesting character of the project. For this reason we decided that the square keeps his memory of places that surround the center, ie maintained a rural character, and this without falling back into folk, or design a purely nostalgic, but with a contemporary reinterpretation of the theme.



Through a simple, basic design we have chosen to highlight the dominant elements of the space, clarifying the relationship and bringing out the tracks eventually weakened by the passage of time.
A linear geometric trace highlights the correspondence of a public place with the greatest monument, the Church of Saints Francis and Sebastian. This area occupies the whole extent of space, from the facade of the church up to the front of the court who oppose it. Resumes of the sacred dimension of the thickness and extent of the scans of its spans. The square, so also is the churchyard, and in this sense, our project proposes to demolish the existing gate that separates the Church from public land, which was canceled, a newly built and so, suddenly, the Church and will relate directly to public land.

The track's main square is then divided by age, partly paved, partly covered with grass. The green bands want to remember the rural character of the territory on which it was formed and community lives of Garbatola, and they want to do this not only in the field, through the presence of green, grass, water and trees, but also in path, which refers to the image of agricultural fields and the alternation of different crops. This image
coexists with the design of furniture and contemporary modern style, marked by a discreet minimalist, rather than the exhibition of forms incongruous and unusual.
The historic fountain, still in the middle of the square, is then retrieved and emptied, is arranged in a meadow. Becomes so large seat, which was also treated to green. A new fountain, which also incorporates the function and the memory of the fallen monument, is designed on the opposite side of the square from the church. This is a deep soaking shaved: no element or barrier stops the relationship between the passing water. The bowl, with sloping bottom, it can even be covered for a stretch, bathing the feet and thus leads directly to the water element in the paths of the rest of the square. This project wants to remember the fountain directly Eagle of the 99 taps, but in our case, each memory of a victim of cinnamon Garbatola with Villanova.
Beyond the churchyard, on the way towards San Francisco, to the current parish house, the design is taken to green belt and is a vacated space for parking, provided, however, trees that provide shade and they integrate with the rest of the square image.

an important role in the project also has the oldest church of Garbatola, the former Oratory of Saint Blaise and Francis, we wanted to recover with a possible new design for the facade and tracking, at the ancient artifact, a small second place, and similar rotated with respect to the main tracking on the ground that does not obstruct traffic and the fact that it integrates and directs the flow through the design on the ground.
It is clear that in our project, the existing road and indeed the project can be manufactured as an architectural project included in the history of the village, a story certainly more pedestrian driveway, is indifferent to choices related to administrative or other logic on the movement of cars . It is also certainly true that our project based on the idea of \u200b\u200bthe need for strong and firm pedestrianize almost the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe square Don Musa. So on St. Francis from the intersection of Via Carlo Porta in our proposal becomes ideal, initially only on Sundays and holidays, and always a dead end, with access to the central parking lot - doubled in size and number of seats than the current -; XX Settembre and the streets are one-way Gorizia from south to north, via Isonzo becomes a one-way street in the entrance to the town center. It is clear that this system, we just considered ideal, can not be separated from the arrangement of roads across the country, with the creation of an alternative route to the center, the path is now more than necessary, urgent and can not be delegated to the arrangement of central plaza and historic.
