we are here to tell you about this
just published book is called
clandestine architecture and tells the stories
trips by 16 school architects
of the city nature
I will tell you about my personal journey
concerns seven municipalities in the province of
matera
but before telling you this
trip I would like to leave from my last
I traveled a little over ten days ago
I was in Greece to visit Athens and
some cities of the leather industry including
corinth mycena tyrant argus epidaurus e
by saying
when I asked the locals
because then I always believe that
know something more about us too
if we are some other scholars
information told me that in some
of these cities strangely not worth it
worth going because there was nothing
nothing to see nothing to do anything
but since then I do not discourage myself
easily of course in this city
I went there and this is what I have
found the city ‘s third city
millennium forward christ where testori
words according to the local population
there is nothing and then ardo city of the
second millennium before Christ where
according to the population, however, there is not
just no theater at the acropolis
evaluate you this thing surprised me
not a little and he made me jump
back exactly one year ago when
My raids began that I
they are from Puglia in the land of basilicata
just to come to know these
new cities and these new places are
solitary journeys on roads have been for me
deserted and sunny looking for that
pass south-west between Puglia and
basilicata where the gaze passes by
narrow narrow spaces of the murgia for
open up then
the wide plains to the wide landscapes
of the basilicata that prelude then to the
local reliefs from the Apulian friends that me
they asked what ever I went to
photograph in these small countries
because there’s nothing they had this
perplexities probably have it
even some of you but notwithstanding
all this I went to photograph
the clandestine architectures to return
to the title of the masked book
montemilone banzi genzano oppido lucano
venous and san gervasio palace because
because we are all convinced that
in these places instead there is so much
still to be seen
perhaps to bring out the experience
today’s what we do in reality is
an experience increasingly occupied by the
look in reality, however, we assist
even to a radical impoverishment
of the act of seeing that means that
the gaze can no longer grasp the links
meanings and emotions and therefore it is a
sin because the look is right
this gaze is relationship is bridge
towards the other of himself and the other from himself and
if you can not recover the
original meaning the capacity that
he then also create the look you
he will manage to pass by a bad see
do not see quality architectures
clandestine wants to do just that
embodies the look of who through
the appearance of the many phenomena of the
city nature wants to go to the
research seeks out and discovers its substance
hidden photos you will see here and are
also then published in the book in
reality also belongs to yours
imaginary are photos that remind of the
places where we have lived
what is the mental process according to which
then they associate these
images in our mind are
images that are associated with others
remember to other emotions and others
images almost lose their reality
physics and becomes a part of it
then of that imagery of ours
imaginary world is the real george
waste calls these places spaces
ethereal and ephemeral in which as he says
as the sand flows between the fingers
so fronds the space is in
definitive very fragile places
forgotten by the time when oblivion
slowly infiltrates and what is
You can then try
start from the imagination and the
writing can allow you to dig up
subtract something from this emptiness
precisely this nothing that becomes becomes
cumbersome not only in ours
physical reality but also in ours
mental places italo calvino instead
in his lesson on visibility one
American lesson speaks defines
imagination like high fantasy
cited by dante in the divine comedy
as the highest part
imagination
the visual part of the fantasy is
important because it allows us
precisely to go and replace these
imagine the different places
these images flow according to his
idea of mental cinema in ours
mind project continue to project
images to our inner sight is
together with the narration they have power
precisely to generate new and new ideas
images
the narration supports the imagination
because of this because he has a big one
evocative and representative power
he manages to find himself halfway there
road between an idea that is formed is
its respondent form because it is
important for me to emphasize this
because for example in architecture
antonio monestiroli explains very well
this process to build a
building we need one
necessity this necessity derives from the
functional program of a building is
which belongs to the company that generates
this necessity is the motivation
which is the basis of an idea also on
which will then create the project
this is the capacity we have of
imagine allows you to create a shape
which however is not derived from other forms
it is a form that derives from one
reflection on what the project is
or it could be capacity
imaginative we have at this stage
cognitive in which thought creates
nests and connections between images viewed
that refer to other places
it is precisely this that draws on these
mental rooms in which they settle
they settle our experiences
in other places and in other times
because it’s important for us to activate
the imaginative and narrative process
because photography was one
important tool for us for the
text precisely for this reason because it is
possible through these two registers
bring change because
find a form that responds and an idea
that is born is a way of creating the
we really want to change ours
vision on things
to do it is important and important
be able to cross the bottlenecks
even narrow of our bottlenecks
mentals that bring us there can
bring in those territories that are
before us and where it is possible
find new life and even those forms
that respond to new ideas , shapes
respondents precisely new ideas and new ones
changes thanks
Oh well you understood that the more calcetto
I’m from the whole group
when you retire if there is one going
in quiescence it means that there is one
life as if to say a bit clandestine than of
occasionally we say silana a shock
who decides out when I will do some
people I decided to give me some
emissions and among these missions ie
to support all young people
so we say especially of value born
in the south especially in basilicata that I have
met and who continues to meet a
about tex in the continents
taking care of nature city and
project architecture and above all
of the clandestine areas of southern Italy
when I say this, you always look at me
a little like that, but in reality I make myself
more and more I realize that there is a motorcycle
ours of living in the south that if it has us
allowed in the wide by this point
we all say so well known there is not
a story written on this while
somehow architecture is
even only all photographers can
begin to reveal and ad
passionate about this world that is
what you never talk about
about this first laura has you
talked about a bridge then a
passing in some way between one
reality is what the secret world is
fascinating mysterious beautiful of the
south that should put first
nature, that is, without our nature
our good nature in the south that we do
if we can not enjoy all that
that our relationship with nature that
we’ll never do
saying this is simply one
initial provocation the book mentioned
before we spoke
Laura was born just the desire to
start exploring this world
starting from these 131 cities of the
basilicata I bet none of you
he saw them all and 131
Well I live everything was
certainly years ago when more or less
ten years ago they lived more or less here
below that at 33 st one of these rooms
in which I spent ten years there
resident but I believe it to be commuting
with Rome and Rome I escaped like
already invested because I could not
the more I could not do it anymore in the
towards the end of the 80s because me
he began to take into account the
architects were deeply yes
they were always sickening more than one
perfidious narcissism of a city
exasperated, that is boring, it is good if
let’s say so supports self-esteem then
it must be limited if one begins to do
some skyscrapers that seem to be gods
fouls them and then puts them in barcelona a
London
now the healthy body but the thing that does not
it goes that I understood is that it is a
asking you no longer took care of doing
understand what architecture is used for
when it must first be inhabited
I heard about the space of
usually when one speaks of space
of the staff you lose you get lost well and
architecture to the affixed task that is
in the space you enter you enter
inside the space that means this
that you can not lose that when you
enters the space of architecture
must be able to bring closer to bring
nearer at that point distant things
size things far than in some
so then in architecture they touch e
approach as much as possible to
these dimensions are far from people
so in the space of architecture yes
enters said this happens something
a change of this space comes in
which you enter and you the task of
architects managed to do this for
to be able to do this we must exercise
much the eye is need to start
to think that not only will you enter the
space but then you enter the
matter but not only without a subject but
something comes out of a series
you see that we are almost the opposite of
many of the beautiful speeches
interesting to hear
I first heard it above all it does
he is the killer he is forced to do
a housing operation that is, while a
little by little let’s say a science then the
fund will be contest instead to ask us and
then it makes space and concrete yes
install a must be good is all
a number of other things and I here in
this city has designed a house
let’s say that they had this purpose
to approach distant dimensions but what
only this beginning and far between today
the other are among the clandestine and
of which he spoke of nature with n
capitalization is something the means or
mankind
no or life with v
not his only vitamin and that
but also not just my cat’s
the dog that I love so much but
even that all the life annuities
vegetables all the parallel lives all
what combine all these life
the reception must be able to do
this short cut because otherwise here
of video all the time and this
very little
I have to talk about the bridge below though
seen from under me like as
they returned to send under the bridges line up
many migrant bums a lot of things
interesting because it’s so important
this bridge not only because it connects
above we said two points to note
but because I have it under this space
I would find it a thousand times and that in
this space you enter you know that between
the other the clandestinity that enters here
that you find here and has directed in the
time this is an inspiration
prehistoric you see it as a dinosaur
I will not say we would jump me
if I said this to the author
however, however, this relationship already exists
form where every time you get married
there are those who could make us see it all right
picture a distant thing but that frames
also details on the ground
this is the beautiful
and that in this space we can
start entering and it’s a space
of continuous changes
if one goes through it and thinks about this
let’s say he also thinks of programs
beautiful cultural that you could
make a smash about the bridge
I basically wanted to tell him
basically this of the network then
but there is but there is power and power
I have it in my heart
in the sense that I left a little bit
able also because he was sent by
engineers so architecture but founded
faculty of architecture in matera and me
but here are left many experiences
all the power I saw in 1989
the first time today, unfortunately, I suffer
because because some way when to
I have reviewed all the last pictures that
I did I realized that here it is
empty space somehow hides
a form of clandestinity
but what is the clandestine where we are
we are illegal immigrants a while that
finally understood we are the photographs of
this book is a clandestine photo
somehow it hides in life
today we are continually many
I argue they do not have a single network it
they have one two three four in some lives
we get sick in that of work
normal
it’s bad and then I rock the second one
life that regenerates us and then we have many
other life and this is the task that
I think one should have when
he wants to start entering a space
begin to perceive sensibly
everything that is there but not
let’s say appears with his
contemporaneity
this is the point this city in
this moment we say
to the theme of emptiness, see that it is true
Unfortunately, this theme will be back to us
because today it no longer but power
I would definitely like to present this again
our book that I did with the 14
young people I have involved in
in the operation and we will talk again
because it is very important to do some
initiatives in which one is able to dialogue
when we come back we will also talk about
all the forms we say of vitality of the
empty that there are undoubtedly some
photos that show that there is a certain
suffering but there are also photos
beautiful remember the expressionism
impressionism that is all that
that vitality that is also in the
matter nature
obviously there are also some in the void
they express themselves through matter too
of the protests, that is, there are screams
a matera the material full of piero
screaming in the emptiness in the void is not there
just what I like to see to me in
as an architect because I want it
see the colors light all that
I put myself when I make a project
unfortunately there is also this and we ne
We will talk calmly because today
unfortunately there is a vacuum through which
we must pass that it is emptiness
there was culture and politics
let’s say I could end here
looking for hope to meet you again
when we see a little better we can
see the photographs a little better
this first effort we say so of
get organized to start again
communicate many isolated points of this
beautiful land that the basilicata and that
then the Sicily from which I’m just
returned the Puglia
its wonderful that we will have to look for
to value thanks
