Venezia e i principali centri storici italiani negli ultimi anni sono stati riorganizzati dal fenomeno noto come gentrification. Dall’avvento di Airbnb le città hanno iniziato a trasformarsi secondo un nuovo fenomeno, definito dal laboratorio LADEST dell’università di Siena airification: un quartiere o un’intera città viene ridefinita secondo parametri non più legati alla storia e alla cultura di un luogo ma da parametri macro economici e super sociali strettamente connessi al turismo.
Le conseguenze dirette sulla città sono stati l’aumento dei prezzi d’affitto con il conseguente abbandono da parte dei residenti di un luogo verso aree urbane meno costose, il cambiamento estetico dei luoghi privati e pubblici e una modifica sostanziale delle attività che in essi si svolgono.
Un effetto invece molto più sottile che si sta verificando con il boom delle piattaforme social e che condiziona il nostro modo di vivere la quotidianità e lo spazio fisico che ci circonda è quello dell’omologazione culturale, una sorta di globalizzazione estetica.
A tutti i livelli della nostra vita sociale, dal modo di vestire, fotografare, parlare, abitare ci stiamo adattando a standard definiti da un sistema macro economico.
Le città, i quartieri, le piazze, le case tendono sempre più a somigliarsi, a uniformarsi ad uno standard estetico universalmente accettato.
Per poter cambiare i turisti dobbiamo cercare di cambiare il turismo attraverso un diverso modo di intendere e pensare la città.

la scuola ha forma curva protesa verso il centro storico, col quale stabilisce un dialogo forte e diretto attraverso le ampie aperture delle aule, e definisce uno spazio interno intimo e riservato. il nuovo complesso offre inoltre un collegamento con il centro attraverso nuovi percorsi pedonali. la pianta semicircolare a larghezza variabile ha una ripartizione interna scandita da elementi strutturali a raggiera. la scuola primaria raggiunge il primo piano mentre quella dell’infanzia -come i locali collettivi- è al piano terra. le classi, sviluppandosi attorno a generosi spazi comuni comunicanti con giardini esterni protetti e accessibili in quota, sono organizzate in cluster: l’uso appropriato di pareti mobili consente di modificare gli spazi interni, creando luoghi mutevoli adatti alle diverse forme di apprendimento e possibili utilizzi extrascolastici. tetto verde, strutture in legno, riutilizzo del demolito, fotovoltaico, componenti ad alta efficienza e basso consumo sono alcune coordinate che coniugano tradizione, innovazione e riciclabilità.

the masterplan for “caserma sani” is conceived as a tale. the area is located in a complex context, characterized by several critical issues. this area has been reconsidered as diverse design opportunities, through the use of an in-depth reading method with subsequent rewriting.
margins and barriers become a device to relate to the surrounding landscape. the existing wall offers the opportunity to develop a continuous park project and new public spaces that emerge from its perimeter. the general system is structured through a “more urban” central zone. this element, recovering the old buildings, rewrites and emphasizes existing balance between built and open space: public space becomes the generating system. landscape design, energy and environmental sustainability are fundamental opportunities for designing new spaces.
the strategy of reconverting existing volumes tends to keep its shape through an additional approach.
the new buildings, designed to be as adaptable as possible to the market, will be made with a pillars structure, which guarantees a high flexibility while retaining a clear formal character and identity. on the ground floor the pillars define a porch – an architectural and cultural symbol typical of the emilian cities – which filters from public to private. the upper floors provide the opportunity to equip wide “loggia” and green terraces, such as extension of home space and improved environmental comfort.

porto marghera is one of the most extraordinary under changing areas in europe. its exceptionality comes from its dimension, which makes it one of the largest industrial compound in italy, and above all from its position in front of venice.
born at the beginning of the twentieth century, marghera has hosted a petrochemical hub important for the history of our country, and many other settlements which have left on the field extraordinary pieces of industrial archaeology but also pollution, dangerous wastes and recently various new functions.
its relationship with mestre became more and more problematic because of the presence of barriers such as the railways and the viaducts, weighed down by an increasing tourist traffic. but it is especially in the relation with venice, that marghera will play its future. venice looked and still looks at its chimneys and its gasometers like they are a testimony of danger but also of modernity. venice, which is looked by marghera as a dream background, seen by an exceptional overlook.
the industrial city looks at the historical city and vice versa, and the two cities are kept away from the water of the lagoon, which in both cases, enters between their buildings and makes porous the land on which they stand.
w.a.ve. is again facing the topic of porto marghera in a particular moment. 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the industrial hub, so in this last year, the interest in its future is increasing without measures, producing ideas, plans and design projects. iuav university for many years is dealing with this area: with courses, design thesis and researches.
on two occasions already, dozens of architects from all over the world have faced these challenges which maybe wouldn’t be so extraordinary if they weren’t in front of the most famous historic city of the world. architects from all over europe, americas, australia, africa, asia, have committed their ability to imagine a future for this place, producing dozens of proposals and design projects which investigated every issue.
this year, in addition to proposing various design themes inside the large industrial area and on its edges, we ask to all participants to provide us, together with partial solutions, a vision for the whole area.
it will be a special occasion to measure the most important venetian topic in a time in which marghera conversion becomes possible.
il workshop affronta il tema del progetto di un parco agricolo nel quale attività produttive, spazi attrezzati, accessi, percorsi, mappatura delle piante selvatiche e disegno delle acque concorrono sinergicamente alla definizione di un paesaggio come sintesi tra le esigenze contemporanee di sostenibilità e le sue tracce storiche significative.
l’evento è stata l’occasione per realizzare installazioni temporanee e sperimentali per l’azienda agricola la maravègia con il coordinamento di iacopo gozzi (treetopbuilder) e matteo ghidoni (salottobuono). ogni giorno il programma prevede l’intervento di esperti scientifici di alto livello che terranno delle comunicazioni sulle specifiche discipline che concorrono alla definizione dei paesaggi rurali contemporanei. tra loro paolo mestriner, coordinatore del master iuav architettura e autocostruzione, emanuel lancerini, dottore di ricerca in urbanistica e anouk vogel, paesaggista olandese.

within the project pm800 post metabolic city, soil is considered the very first edifying element nurturing the new city, instead of a tainted ma- terial to simply isolate and withdraw from. the polluted soil of porto marghera, beyond bring- ing a dramatic social and environmental heritage, embodies the possibility of the construction of a new utopian city (or a real city): pm800 proposes an innovative and visionary program that turns the remediation into a moment of collective reflection on the construction of the
future venetian landscape.
42% of the terrain of porto marghera is currently still affected by a wide range of pollutants soaked into its exploited ground. multiplying the average excavation depth by the area of polluted soil we collect 32.000.000 cubic meters of contaminated earth to restore. this quantity could fill 800 towers with a square base of 20 meters and a height of 100 meters.
precisely in relation to this paradox lays the foundation of this project: hollowing out the ground of the entire industrial site allows for the construction of 800 tower-machines to store and decontaminate the polluted soil on site and pro- duce energy which will feed the new city.
the tower-machine becomes at the same time the testing prototype for new environmental remediation processes and icon for the reinterpretation of the vertical city paradigm. once the reclamation is complete, the tower-machine will be transformed into a living space constructed from the cleaned soil, used as a building mate- rial for both interior rear-end collisions and fa- cade cladding.
indagare il processo di sviluppo dell’architettura contemporanea in sudamerica, analizzandone progetti e presupposti con alcuni tra i suoi maggiori esponenti. qual è il contesto fisico e sociale in cui si inserisce? quali le sue ragioni ed esiti formali? cosa accade al progetto quando trova realizzazione?
più le condizioni al contorno rimandano a uno status di necessità, più il proces- so da cui l’architettura si sviluppa assume valore. l’esperienza di architetti che operano in contesti sociali e culturali lontani da quello in cui abitualmente viviamo costituisce occasione di confronto e principio di ispirazione.
project of a historical architecture is an ideal prosecution of fischer’s great oeuvre that aims at observing contemporary landscapes in search of the traces of ritualistic actions. in fact “ritualistic landscapes” did not disappear in modern times. deliberately neglected because of the prejudices of modern architecture (i.e. prejudices of liberal anthropology), they just disappeared from architectural discourse.
project of a historical architecture is an attempt to look back at fischer’s entwurff and try to imagine a realistic, collective and comparative approach to contemporary architecture. the research aims at producing a detailed list of “ritualistic landscapes” realized (or fundamentally reconfigured) in
the modern era (here conventionally understood as the period following the publication of laugier’s essai in 1753). the “ritualistic landscapes” included into the list are then described through analytical diagrams exposing the logistics and the ritual movements taking place at each site. these brief sets of descriptive diagrams are completed with drawings that imagine a possible architectural project based on the gathered evidence. while diagrams try to describe the relevant quantities of human beings associated to these places and their complex movements, the projects try to expose the – for so long incredibly ignored – architectural potential of these places.
