Thursday, April 16 will open the exhibition "Touching the Leumann Village" (April 16 to 26 at the School of Villaggio Leumann ) for presenting the results of the workshop "multi-sensory communication architecture", written by students of the Faculty of Architecture at the Politecnico di Torino. The course was organized by Piergiorgio Tosoni ( Politecnico di Torino) with Cristina Azzolino ( Lamsa ) and Angela Lacirignola ( Latécoère ) in collaboration with Julia Maccarone ( arestudio ) and Rocco Rolli ( Tactile Vision ). The exhibition presents the architecture of the Village Leumann in the form of embossed pattern, "a form of design for specific use of those who have serious difficulties in view of exploiting the potential of haptic perception, that is subordinate to the touch of humans. The interesting aspect is the role of the designer, who plays the role of mediator between the objects they represent, and a partner tuned to wavelengths are not always easy to spot. Here then is the design in relief, in addition to imposing the assumption of a code representing the particular, requires a specific effort of interpretation of reality environment, designed to select the essential elements and at the same time, the ones most easily represented by this code. "(Tactile Vision). Well officially begins on the third post, which will be far more reckless of the second (which actually was the first official approval), if you want to know more about the shows mentioned above could be until much interesting and challenging. Returning to the post title, the first part has been explained, the second remains a mystery. In fact, the show is only a pretext and an actual example to introduce a topic that is important to us, the Original Transmission Architecture (OTA). And here the problems begin, especially since OTA is not to say almost anything in the real world, but it's a nice acronym to explain certain concepts that are important to us. In the previous post had sought to address the theme of the story and especially the architecture of the city. The margin of Curitiba offered some nice insights about the environmental, economic and humane of our European cities, it may be that the marginal shows Collegno can give us an interesting indication of the possibility of transmitting the architecture and its importance those who did not chew a lot of architecture.
The architecture (was) all
There is no denying that art and architecture had become an end in itself, purely on an aesthetic level, because they had lost contact with the people and the community during the revolution Industrial

W. Gropius, Integrated Architecture, 1963
Bruno Zevi said ".. there is an inability on the part of architects, historians and art critics to be the bearers of the message construction, to spread the 'love of architecture in the mass ...". He said it about sixty years ago and his words still seem current. Most likely Zevi was mindful of the fact that in other times the issue was not raised, the masses may not have in mind what it was architecture, but they have never ceased to build what is now the historic centers of Italian cities and their monuments. We take as an example of what the historical centers of the Middle Ages in many Italian cities (Bologna for one thing) and perhaps the church of San Giovanni di Sinis ( found here throughout the exegesis of the building and edited by S. Mirti its image and link). It existed then a period when architecture was a collective and what is left is the overall image of the community of the time.
happens then with the Renaissance and the Baroque era that society is gradually deprived of its role in generating becoming a mere spectator, since the collective decision making prevailing local landlords the power of individuals (the so-called client, who pays the commission to its artists to produce works of merit that enhance the prestige of that gentleman) to become a victim dell'inurbamento since the industrial revolution until today (slums, suburbs, slums, etc.). In practice, the community (who had found the city a nice solution to many problems that had occurred after the dissolution of the Roman Empire) became in about 600 years a victim of the city itself and its architecture and is not able to either understand the reasons and processes that have forced this situation, much less to stand in the way critical of the city who design and draw (engineers and architects, but also politicians and businessmen)
The current situation
With more than half the world's population living in urban areas and about one third of that in conditions not exactly healthy, one would wonder if the city as never had been born as a solver of some problems are not all things go your way, despite many attempts to make things a bit 'better. In general, a careful analysis of the last 60 years would make us also worry about: the magnificence of the building speculators Fanfani plan to the government, the economic boom to the economic crisis, the great Torino Toro B, from globalization to global warming, the money in the mattress to creative financing, etc. .. . And it is that all these factors can make us think that a change of course is not only desirable but it seems only right? And that's in architecture (after 15 + years of cosmic crap) you can somehow change some little thing to avoid the collapse of the city system?
Transmitting Architecture UIA 2008
Those foxes are among the architects who, after careful analysis of the last 60 years, have started doing their own (in part) principles such as sustainability, the use of alternative energy resources, etc. but also noticed that the situation is a bit 'out of hand, the speculation has helped to make the dominant economic component and the rest is a bit' in the past second floor. Then they held a World Congress asking how to distribute and transmit the architecture to the masses in order to make sensitive and informed the users of buildings and cities trying to reduce the speculative component in favor of other components of the noblest and most useful. I do not know if you notice the similarity between OTA and Transmitting Architecture ... Well actually a little bit you can see, even more so between OTA and TAO (Transmitting Architecture Organ), a nice free rivistuola OAT (Chamber of Architects of the Province of Turin, sti cazz'e acronyms so 'tutt'uguali), which arises as a spin off of' UIA in 2008 forward the sustainable city, an international project to communicate the values \u200b\u200bof sustainability. Well said that just read the first issue of TAO magazine dissects the issue is certainly better than me!
