So ... that architects, or that the individual architect, are deluded in their way, the dreamers, shapers, why not the servants of the customer, Well it is a fact and should not be civic observers to know. Just think, all that architecture, the body of the architecture, history is made 80% of projects and only 20% of achievements. Then, in the body of this project, there is a good 50% of projects completely fictional, abstract, futuristic, imaginative, far only feasible and ideals. Some examples? How many ideal cities were designed and many built in the '400 (and was a flourishing period, rich)? Sforzinda, the beautiful ideal city designed by rows Milan to Francesco Sforza was a perfect, was not a real project for Milan. But we also think the square of Leonardo da Vinci for the Castello Sforzesco, or projects Bramante for the Vatican, the revolutionary projects Boulle, and so on up to our times, and miserable to square garbatolese. Now the problem
it is completely another, at least the problem addressed in this blog: it is not a political problem for funds that are dicks (oopps) of others, here we talked about architecture. There has been talk of projects managed winners miserable without changing anything or not up to juries (perhaps) the task assigned to them. What then to serve people cycling, hospitals, schools, gymnasiums, or simply a job, that is, again, super clear and perhaps should not be so sensitive to notice it, just look at people's bank accounts, cash additions the rights of workers who are continuously removed (especially in the last years of this government right rude and reactionary).
instead agree with the speeches and comments on this blog on taking the piss, which is often an intrinsic part of the competitions. Or rather, if the administration had said, in this case but you can 'certainly think of other similar cases (unfortunately many), "let's make a contest of ideas to begin to tackle a problem from the point of view (of course) perfect, no thinking on the feasibility, because we will not do it 100% (unless we re-elected, then you will see) "well then I would not shocked. Instead it is passed as the idea that this was a real project, an assignment for a task and not simply a call for proposals! I would then bring the issue
on what I think is the central theme, namely, the relationship between design and the study of the history of a place in my history with which a project has a duty, moral obligation, to compare, and add that the winning project , like others, have benefited, in this case study, more 'or less of an indication of the presence of an ancient church, an ancient chapel (often mistakenly and that often have been reported on the project drawings wrong directions) Thanks to research still largely unpublished, that the undersigned along with some students at the University of Milan Polytechnic conducted three years ago, and continues to lead (as the Mayor of nerves after have promised to hundreds of people who would finance the publication of the same then no one has ever done) and thanks to the property that opened the doors of the building concerned. Now that can be signed with other friends arrived penultimate with a motivation based on the lack of local knowledge? You know that the then head office of the undersigned has requested the cartographic and historical material to be made available to everyone? So how did the jury to say that the project does not know enough or is not suitable places (after years of study, as well as of residence, because I know that square and attended by about 37 years).
And last but one important thing out controversy. I really believe that the problem of Garbatola square and the problem of old squares is not the central problem of the city and its citizens, but I also believe that it is one of the most important problems of a community, is a question of identity. Redevelop a square is not just about doing a white elephant (as we often hear), it is obvious that Milan need a thousand services, from welfare to public transport, etc., but it is equally obvious that doing a project for the center of Milan means coming to terms with its stratigraphy, with its history, means to restore the meaning, joy, face memory in a city, or as in this case a small country. Redesigning a square not mean, just, good and better place to one side there and make it livable city, with plants and benches, etc., means to set the tone for a series of transactions that individuals will then begin to do it is to speak to the hearts of citizens, it means to understand and talk to our ancestors, it means an act of faith means understanding our ancient history and why not rethink preserving the memory forever.
