"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

BIM @ PoliTO – 26.04.2017

In thanking prof. Anna Osello and Massimiliano Lo Turco for their very kind invitation, and the brave students for their attention, as I promised you can find at this link the presentation I used for my lecture today. It’s the same one but I swear that slides are in focus so you probably won’t need my gesuring in order to figure out what’s in them. The presentation, as usual, can be copied, shared, reused, referenced and recycled for any legal and polite use you might think of. Knock yourselves out.

As you don’t have many texts in the slides, following you find a list of the projects that are referenced in the presentation.

  1. Le Corbusier, Houses for artisans (it’s the project in the cover page);
  2. Antoni Gaudì, Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo. If you want to check out the work of the digital master who is trying to finish Gaudi’s job on the Sagrada Familia, you might want to look for Mark Burry;
  3. Eero Saarinen, Gateway Arch;
  4. Sergio Musmeci, Ponte sul Basento;
  5. Luigi Moretti: study for a stadium, Casa Balilla and a most hated building in c.so Italia, Milano;
  6. Frank Gehry: Guggenheim in Bilbao and the New York Beekman Tower (nr.8 Spruce Street);
  7. Zaha Hadid and Design to Producion, Hungeburg Funicular Station in Innsbruck;
  8. SHoP, Porter House;
  9. Adam Modesitt, Cenotaph for Richard Feynman;
  10. Arthur Harsuvanakit and Brittany Presten, Elbo chair;
  11. Bastian Schaefer (under the supervision of —), new Airbus cabin partition (see, that was the word I was looking for!);
  12. Flux Metro (the platform is down, but you can find lots of tutorial videos about the project);
  13. Google Sunroof;
  14. Buro Happold, Smart Space Analyzer.

Spooktober 27 – The Black Monk (2)

Chapter 3 After supper, when the visitors had gone, he went to his room and lay down on the sofa: he wanted to think about the monk. But a minute later Tanya came in. “Here, Andryusha; read father’s articles,” she said, giving him a bundle

Spooktober 26 – The Black Monk (1)

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),
