Experimenting – interactions between architecture and art Contemporary architecture admits as its rationale a marked propensity for research in the various fields in which design and construction are expressed. Research, therefore, is the testimony of the project’s substantially leading role, which investigates concrete living requirements and seeks out equally concrete solutions, showing th...leggi tuttoe need to “prove” in the built architecture, where living becomes an element of debate between ideas and forms of living. Architectural research seeks to be not just an evocative means, able to distill brilliant technical and formal solutions, but also a place of innovation and selective continuity. The focal point is set in a highly experimental component which may be read in the sense of a need to assess design solutions with regard to living requirements and problems, which cannot be considered as indifferent, crystallized, without a specific nature of their own. Experimenting means keeping a certain degree of control over a multifaceted evolution that can be appreciated in aspects of living. The path of architectural experimentation identifies design as a means of expression which encourages the participation of all those who are prepared to imagine the quality of living through architecture, representing and arranging the key elements to make the profound substance of the innovative elements recognizable. Living in an architectural context, living in an urban condition which receives the pressure and potential from architecture for transformation. And living in the design, through a series of interactions, among specifically architectural dimensions and expressive values which can be assimilated in forms of artistic experimentation. Integration and reciprocity, in a coherence of dialogue and transfusion between highly expressive domains. The architectural designs of Giorgio Palù (Studio Arkpabi) are determined through research and experimentation, clear factors denoting the progressive dynamics of the concepts of space and volumes, references moving in the brightness of the materials, towards a broader creative concept; a constant and mutual stimulant to innervate concentrated forms of sensitivity. Architecture becomes an effervescent container of creative solutions in which the dialogue between the expressive potential of the materials – between coordination and juxtaposition – and the constitution of living volumes and spaces forms a woven fabric, between architectural properties and the strains of purely artistic statements. The idea of a volume which becomes the interaction of component parts and grows through the dynamics of its definitions – the perimeter intersected by prospects, the overlapping of spaces and densities of light – inevitably urges a comparison with a magmatic material growing exponentially. Architecture dilates and is produced in an itinerary which tends towards metamorphosis, the weaving of visible prospects becomes a language of colour and matter, the intersection of corridors of light becomes an element stimulating a level of expressive accumulation, as in a “theatre of forms” (the villa in Piadena). The concept of urban villa is iterated in a solemn combination of volumes (the residential complex in Via Balilla in Milan, the residential complex in Via Doberdò in Milan). The determination of the metallic (and experimental) material covering the façade frames an expressive force that tends to merge a latent spark into a defined unit (residential and service sector complexes in Viale Trento e Trieste in Cremona), exploding into the conceptual and rarified vision of the residential complex in Via della Dogana Vecchia (Cremona), where the terms of comparison assume the form of the portion of air and sky which intersect the various separate residences, single elements which are part of the same assumption, at the limit of immateriality: the residence in its component parts is composed of concrete architectural consistency (walls, windows, floors, internal corridors), suspended urban villas, and takes possession of a direct “pertinence” which is the urban landscape and its expansion into the substance of the sky and clouds. At a level tending to conjugate sculptural and pictorial elements, the design for the reconfiguration of the Hotel Continental in Cremona, where in the innovative re-composition of the prospect – which inherently required the building to be recognizable as a hotel – a clear distinction was made within the body of the façade, with portions diversified by materials. The density of the materials and weaving of the elements, using stone, conglomerates and metal coatings are parts of a whole: to clearly distinguish and inter-relate the portions in an overall design, in which the various slight protuberances of the façade, the different consistency of the materials and the chromatic distinctions tell of a dynamic and combinatory synthesis, a picture changing with light and view. The theme of the combination of materials and expression of the façade can be found in the recent building substitution operation in the centre of Cremona, where an old cinema is replaced by a multi-floor residential complex; the building overlooks a narrow street, a side road of the town’s main street, and suggests a plurality of views. Glimpses, rather than an axial and perpendicular observation. The volume gathers and accentuates on one vibrated wing of the wall that opens outwards, a diaphragm of invitation; the prospects work with weaving marked on the surfaces, ridges and depressions that can be read like a map of contemporaneity, marks unifying the opposing light and dark colours of the façades. A further progression is the Auditorium of the Violin Museum (Cremona): a place of refined acoustics and structural requirements for the execution of music (cultured music and expressive contaminations, a place for high-level recordings), the hall internally takes on a voluptuously sculptural turn, as if to bring together exponentially the multiple seductive artistic points, the sculpture of matter from the core in cement and the wooden facet, spreading out into the story of architecture growing from the bed of an internal volume. Architecture which expresses an increasingly explicit and coherent direction of research: identifying living volumes and spaces is the task of architectural design, in which to sense an operation with many aspects, through the pressures of the states of the materials to “transform” and add unusual value. Tending also to show other aspects of oneself, proposing interactions and exchanges between art and architecture, defining pure areas for experimental research. Francesco Pagliari April 2016
