These projects can be distinguished by different
registers in different contexts.
The sites, the contexts, the cities dealt with
represent developed, extreme, paradigmatic case studies of cities intended as a
border of globalized modernity.
The urban form: it is founded on the dialectics
between the regular Cartesian organization typical of the historic damier of
lots of colonial and non-colonial settlements, and the Labyrinthe, which
characterizes the spontaneously arisen settlements, result of autochthonal
cultural, often very ancient contributions,
and, in Guadalupe such as in Nigeria, in contraposition to the urban drawing
of European origin governments. The two
models live together within the project and determine the upturn of that
pedagogical "exclusion" from the territory and natural context which
was at the basis of the city planning and therefore of the life of colonial
cities with their inclusive interaction. The perception of the places: it
allows to radically modify the definition of the spaces of connection,
infrastructures, "road", creating a modification process which, with
its strength, catalyses the attention and neutralizes, or at least makes the
absence of the quality of pre-existing material secondary. The energy of the
architectural project allows the stratification of a complex system of
functions and activities interactive among themselves, typical of the
contemporary city. The symbolic and metaphorical dimension gives a
configuration to the form as a colossal horizontal totem, an urban door which
is in one of the transition points between the more openly suburban and the
more densely residential areas.
The infrastructural projection proposes a
rearrangement of the flows, a new relationship between road and district, a new interaction between
a structure of metropolitan connection and architectural fabric.
