HUMAN MAPS 1-3, 2016
The Human Maps start with the dreams of a dog, of course.
:-)
We perceive reality in a complex way that changes over time and combines our direct perceptions with patterns and abstract notions. The way we conceive the architectural space that 'matters' - the one that 'hiddes a story' - is a direct reflection of this complex perception.
GREEN MARS ARCHITECTURES
I have started drawing architectures on Mars just because it is so wonderfully empty.
What I draw, I have no idea, certainly they are not functions I understand. For sure they are not NASA bases or anything like that, I don't even know if those buildings are made by humans or not. It doesn't matter.
Architecture is powerful and meaningful in itself, this is what is important for me.
Even more, in dialogue with such a pristine environment.
But during the time I have started to understand that this dialogue with nature also means, kind of violating it. Parasite, life is just a parasite, grown abusively on the geological endless tranquility. Maybe geology should just be left alone.
LANDED, 1-5
LANDED.
An intermediary step between Mars and the reality of the immediate 'here', this series of drawings is a quest on a series of questions:
Is fantastic architecture closer to reality when placed in town?
Does simple contextualisation bring drawings closer to becoming actual buildings?
Is the city of Milan (like many others, jealously guarded in its more or less ancient shape, with a downtown barely allowed to grow) rightly keeping its character, or just turning into an ossified postcard town?
One way or another, it's good to forget for a while about square meters, 60-degree angles, bureaucracy and functionality, to ride free above the roofs of the city.
