Libri di Angelo Bugatti

Milan EXPO 2015 took up dining issue as the theme: “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. The theme encompassed technology, innovation, culture, traditions and creativity. It’s related to every being on this small planet. In the same year, there was another exposition in Shanghai, the Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2015. During the Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2015, was also made the exibition “The Beauty in Eating Together”. The curators were Italian and Chinese scholars, e.g. Prof. Angelo Bugatti from The University of Pavia, Prof. Aldo Castellano from Polytechnic University of Milan and Prof. Chen Yi from Tongji University; they have made a deep research on this topic. The European and Chinese history, society and dining spaces in past, today and future have been narrated on exhibition, though it was certainly small in scale to comparing with the grand exposition in Milan but it has also gained good reputation and extensive attention. Since then the curators would expand their researches, as we will take the advantage of this research experience. The authors are all architects, and are also famous professors and scholars in architectural design, education and theory researches. They had been building expansive and comprehensive collaborations in aspects of education, research, international exchange, and organizing workshops, seminars, exhibitions and others since last 20 years and owned international reputations. This library is an achievement on international corporations and joint research, thus, it generated the first book series for this topic including three volumes, which are:  1) Eating together. History, Culture, and Architecture; 2) Eating together. Design and History;  3) Eating together. Design Studies and New Trends.  The books take anthropological and sociological view to study the dining space. Wherever dining in Italy or China, everywhere would always become a most important issue. In China, there is a canon, “Food is the first necessity for people”. Dining is an ancient topic too: about 2500 years ago, Confucius said himself on dining that “he did not eat his fill of polished rice, nor did he eat his fill of finely minced meat”. Dining is not just a daily necessary, but also related to history, culture, humanity, economy and politics. Zheng Shiling Eating together.

The reading of this book dealing with the ”non-city” of the future binds the young designer to the search for new tools of urban intervention and the intellectual to the need for a new language.

“There are three main fields of urban regeneration in Chinese cities: the transformation of industrial areas and the re-use of industrial heritage; the transformation of old urban areas with the conservation of historical areas and architecture; the introduction of public open space with old city renewal. The urban regeneration is the expression of ideal, aesthetic and sense of value. In China it is mainly driven by government conduction or by market, sometimes it is the combination of both forces. This book introduces the main features of urban regeneration in China with 10 typical case studies in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Chengdu with illustrated presentation. The creators of those areas have shown their great care of urban context and identity…. These 10 cases are only a small part of the experiments of urban renewal in China, but all these 10 cases have presented the effort and prototype of urban regeneration. As Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the invisible harmony is more important than visible one, city is an organic entity with its life, the urban regeneration must put the emphasis on the urban ecology and organic regeneration, just as the metabolism  of a life.” Prof. Dr. Zheng Shiling

Il libro contiene una sostanziosa sezione teorica, che percorre e accompagna temi fondamentali dell'insegnamento architettonico, come il dualismo forma e funzione, il rapporto architettura e storia, il concetto di tipo e le relazioni tra adeguatezza e memoria. Una sezione pratica contiene una serie di proposte in cui sperimentare idee e concetti al progetto architettonico e in cui si propone una visita guidata a due itinerari a forte valenza didattica come Milano ed Urbino. Le riflessioni finali diventano una sorta di dichiarazione dove si dibatte sul ruolo dell'architetto oggi, in cui "Quello che si propone, dunque, per l'architettura è un'operazione disciplinare complessa, nella quale l'identità è restituita dalle relazioni tra interno ed esterno, tra materiali e condizioni naturali, e si rappresenta solo nell'inserimento paesaggistico".

Nonostante la storia dell'architettura e delle città, non solo europee, siano estremamente ricche di esemplificazioni progettuali ipogee, la contemporaneità sembra richiedere un approccio differente e più consapevole. Se infatti le città e gli insediamenti ipogei dell'antichità forniscono utili indicazioni compositive per l'organizzazione distributiva e spaziale delle costruzioni sotterranee, esse rappresentano più un riferimento culturale che la possibilità di una stretta interpretazione progettuale, soprattutto in virtù delle differenti esigenze igienico sanitarie e ambientali. D'altra parte la modernità architettonica ha provato ad immaginare nuove tipologie insediative che si affiancassero, più che sostituirla, alla città in superficie. Ma la maggior parte di tali visioni non è stata realizzata ed è rimasta relegata al ruolo di "utopie progettuali", anche per evidenti problematiche tecniche, economiche e realizzative che non sempre è stato possibile affrontare e risolvere. Questa pubblicazione raccoglie ed organizza contributi teorici, progetti e realizzazioni avviando così una riflessione critica sullo stato dell'arte della composizione architettonica e delle discipline progettuali nella definizione dell'architettura ipogea.
