The heading acupuncture indicates a series of residential projects located inside areas of new expansion in the second urban belt, mainly in the Province of Bologna. Like acupuncture, these projects attempt to communicate compositional variety, showing inhabitants that other ways of dwelling are possible.
The interpretation is therefore collective, and gains force by attributing to every high-quality result an action of conscious resistance against the housing standardization proposed exclusively over the last few decades, and by asserting the educational role of architecture.
An architecture of doing whose development is based on theoretical models of reference that while changing form and expression can continue to be able to communicate civic goals. Formal difference as a tool of communication, that sets out to also include social, spatial and conceptual issues in the architecture, for which the model is the synthesis and the premise.
#4
In acupuncture#4 there is a strong two-way relationship with the landscape: while on the one hand the lengthwise extension of the volume fits nicely into the characteristic horizontal profile of agricultural areas, on the other it makes it possible to grant all the spaces a very close relationship to the world outside. The volume is organized to form small outdoor spaces connected to the house, creating a mediation between intimate space and the open countryside, offering greater privacy for certain rooms and an extensive sense of protection even in the outdoor spaces.
