Le prospettive dinamiche di Oskar Schlemmer e Paul Klee

The research on form, colour, space and dynamism carried out at the Bauhaus gathers the seed of all the expressive and technical media that will converge later on in the stage workshop of the school, directed from 1923 to 1929 by Oskar Schlemmer. Indeed, this workshop can be considered as the most experimental field of research on the laws existing between the human body (conceived as expression of dynamism) and the architectural space, as measure and rhythmic articulation. These very topics are investigated in the same years by Paul Klee, who had been a master at the Bauhaus like Schlemmer since 1921. As master of form he conceives of a new perspective set in motion by the wandering vertical, a projection of the viewer on a dynamic balance of simultaneous points of view, investigated more deeply in his Uncomposed in space perspectives.L'indagine su tematiche quali forma, colore, spazio e dinamismo affrontate nella scuola del Bauhuas comprende in germe tutti i coefficienti espressivi e tecnici che andranno successivamente a convergere nella sezione teatrale della scuola, diretta dal 1923 al 1929 dall'artista Oskar Schlemmer. Il laboratorio teatrale diviene infatti il campo di ricerca privilegiato sulle leggi intercorrenti tra il corpo umano, espressione del dinamismo, e spazio architettonico, elemento di misura e scansione ritmica. Sugli stessi temi si incentra la ricerca di Paul Klee, docente al Bauhaus come Schlemmer dal 1921, che nel suo insegnamento sulla forma introdurrà il concetto di una prospettiva messa in moto dalla verticale vagante, proiettando l’osservatore all’interno di un telaio in equilibrio dinamico dai simultanei punti di vista, indagato nella serie delle prospettive non composte nello spazio.

UP School: Motion, Perception, Learning

AbstractThe design strategy common to the educational spaces for the "Up School" based in the metropolitan area of Cagliari aims to frame a flexible learning space open to experimentation and the active exploration of places. Indeed, learning does not merely mean collecting and memorizing information; it also requires the ability to select, connect, understand and integrate, first by acquiring self-awareness and by developing perceptual abilities. Space—as experienced in its dynamic dimension—plays a crucial role in this process. The principles of the dynamic perception of space established by the most important investigations in neuroscience of recent years, were declared by the experimentations of the Bauhaus workshops, ahead of their time, as being strongly related to space, body and mind. Beginning with this premise, the "Up School" project—nursery, preschool and primary school—integrates an innovative educational program with the spatial layout of its environments. These spaces are conceived as a fluid sequence of "affordances" where, from an early age, children can shape their world within a perspective guided by good sustainability practices, enabling technologies and psychomotor equilibrium. Thus, the school system changes by being more conscious of its fulcrum: namely, the psychosomatic dimension of the individual

ETFAS towns: rural architecture in Sardinia through the archival drawings

The Authority for Land Use and Agriculture in Sardinia (Ente per la Trasformazione Fondiaria e Agraria in Sardegna - ETFAS) was founded in May 1951 with the goal of reforming agriculture on the Italian island and building infrastructure, towns and centres that would serve the public and social life of settlement assignees. Archival research carried out at the Laore Sardegna Archive of Cagliari and the Archive of the Modern of Mendrisio has brought to light an important number of drawings through the forms of institutional representation encoded in plans, elevations and sections by the architects tasked with the creation of the towns. Particular attention has been given to the representation of public buildings, presented here in a few original drawings and sketches by architects Figini and Pollini for the Porto Conte town in the Alghero territory, and for the service center of Monte Cadelanu in the Sulcis, by architects Zanuso and Crescini

Le ricerche relative alla documentazione progettuale prodotta dall’ente, svolte presso l’Archivio dell’Agenzia Laore Sardegna di Cagliari e l’Archivio del Moderno di Mendrisio, hanno restituito un importante numero di elaborati grafici redatti principalmente nelle forme canoniche di pianta, prospetto e sezione. Particolare attenzione emerge per le architetture collettive, qui presentate attraverso disegni inediti di Figini e Pollini per il borgo di Porto Conte nel territorio di Alghero, e di Zanuso e Crescini per il centro di Monte Cadelanu nel Sulcis

Dal paesaggio produttivo al paesaggio della conoscenza

Quando il territorio ha la forza di raccontare la storia dei suoi paesaggi, attraverso la costruzione di immagini (spaziali, ma non solo), questo diventa sia strumento attraverso il quale la manipolazione dello spazio può proporre e orientare futuri possibili, ma anche divenire esito di un processo di apprendimento e interazione sociale democratico ed un veicolo per la produzione e riproduzione di beni comuni e di capitale sociale e simbolico, di cui si sostanziano le pratiche del progetto con- temporaneo
