design of waste
a fascinating field of experimentation is the design of urban waste. the space of the contemporary city is not only composed of buildings neat and well designed public spaces, but by a multiplicity of components: infrastructures, residual spaces, waste ...:
waste landscape
"wastelandscape" is a 600 square meters artificial undulating landscape covered by an armor of 60 000 unsold or collected cds, which have been sorted and hand-sewn.
it is well known that cds are condemned to gradually disappear from our daily life, and to later participate in the construction of immense open-air, floating or buried toxic waste reception centers.
made of petroleum, this reflecting slick of cds forms a still sea of metallic dunes: the monumental scale of the art work reveals the precious aspect of a small daily object.
the project joins a global, innovative and committed approach, from its means of production until the end of its "life".
"wastelandscape" will be displayed in locations coherent with the stakes of the project: the role of art in society, the sensitization to environmental problems through culture, the alternative mode of production and the valuation of district associative work and professional rehabilitation.

"an old elevated train track in downtown rotterdam is being redeveloped as a commercial strip and elevated park. city heating can easily be integrated in the design thereby connecting the rotterdam airport and developments around it to the city district-heating network. in this manner, industrial waste heat can be used to warm the pre-war buildings along this trajectory, thereby radically reducing their co2 footprint.
the principle of cascading the heat is used. the pre-war structures can be warmed using 90û water (using radiators), the water that comes out at 60û can be used for urban agriculture in greenhouses, in turn the 40û water from this process can be used for new buildings with concrete core activation. finally, the remaining water at 25û can be used for heating the outdoor pool ontop of the viaduct. this strategy can radically reduce co2 footprints in existing urban fabrics".

architettura e modernita'
dal bauhaus alla rivoluzione informatica
carocci editore, 2010
fabrizio zanni (a cura di)
abitare la piega
ed. maggioli 2011
antonino saggio, architetto, e' professore ordinario di composizione architettonica e urbana presso l'universita' di roma "la sapienza"; e' il fondatore e il direttore della collana "it revolution in architecture"
profilo del volume:
dall'avvento di una architettura esplicitamente legata al mondo dell'industria alla rifondazione etica del secondo dopoguerra, dall'esplosione della societa' e dei consumi di massa, all'emergere delle nuove concezioni di contesto, di paesaggio, di ecologia e di informatica. architettura e modernita', dal bauhaus alla rivoluzione informatica, ripercorre in forma saggistica, evidenziando i protagonisti e le vicende di maggiore centralita', gli ultimi otto decenni della storia dell'architettura contemporanea. concepito completamente ex novo, il volume si distingue dai manuali che offrono una edizione ampliata di storie dell'architettura nate attraverso chiavi interpretative di decenni or sono. la riscrittura del passato parte in questo libro dall'oggi ed e' in rapporto all'emersione del paradigma informatico che caratterizza gli orientamenti piu' innovativi dell'attuale architettura. il volume si inserisce cosi' in una trattazione saggistica che trasmette il senso dell'impegno e delle responsabilita' future, in una visione della modernita' come tensione sempre presente nelle grandi ricerche dell'architettura nell'affrontare le crisi di trasformazione che investono il mondo, la societa' e gli individui con un insieme di scelte estetiche, organizzative, tematiche e spaziali ad un tempo.

fabrizio zanni e' professore associato in progettazione architettonica e urbana presso il politecnico di milano
profilo del volume: abitare la piega: franco purini parla del "piegare" come "prima operazione compositiva capace di dar luogo ad uno spazio" e sottolinea come la valenza dell'atto compositivo non cambi in presenza di linee curve o di un reticolo prospettico-cartesiano: "piegare e' piegare sia nel mondo di borromini sia nell'universo di terragni".
il concetto di "piega" che si pone in evidenza e' in prima istanza quello dell'architettura del suolo, della "architettura-suolo", del landform, della piegatura o folding come operazione tettonica, stratigrafico- topografica che lavora facendo emergere o immergere strati e pieghe "geologiche" del palinsesto territoriale, alle diverse scale. il suolo emerge come fondamentale elemento ed attore di un'architettura che riconosce da un lato il paesaggio come primo interlocutore e si costituisce inoltre come parte di esso, modificazione, alterazione, ibridazione dello stesso. questo particolare modo di concepire il progetto interpreta "intensamente" il rapporto tra edificio e suolo fino ad assumere quest'ultimo come elemento generativo dell'idea di architettura.

hybrid buildings: best stores of site group fabrizio zanni
the use of ruins in architecture is not new, considering the false
romantic ruins of the romantic gardens, but site group use its in a
different way. these "shop boxex" are completely embedded in the
historical climate of the american frontier; they put also, inthe
stereotypical world of commercial "bix boxex" (the casing is the
content, the chain, the brand) a difference / deformity, for which the
brand is recognizable by the "skin" of architecture that represents it,
and not vice versa. differences then, but also "deformity", mild and
ironic: it consists of the" layers "of (alleged) front that comes off the
corners, ruin the land mass as" formless blocks, he fringed on the
sides, top, bottom corners. what lies beneath this "false" facade is
again a closed mass (except the entrances). here is revealed the
quality of the designers, because it would be too easy to "discover" a
sub- transparent, high-tech surface. another quality of the group is
given the ability to use in a symbolic way "poor" materials without
load of monumental aspirations, such as concrete blocks and, in
another building best, the humble asphalt.

fabrizio zanni
l'uso della rovina in architettura non e' nuovo, se si pensa alle false
rovine dei giardini romantici, ma l'uso che ne fa il gruppo site e'
diverso. da un lato questi "shop box" sono interamente immersi nel
clima storico della frontiera americana, da un altro essi inseriscono
nello stereotipato mondo dei bix boxex commerciali (l'involucro
rappresenta il contenuto, la catena, il brand) una difformita'/deformita',
per cui il brand e' riconoscibile attraverso la "pelle" dell'architettura che
lo rappresenta, e non viceversa. difformita' dunque, ma anche
"deformita', lieve ed ironica: essa e' costituita dagli "strati" di
(presunta) facciata che si stacca sugli angoli, rovina a terra come
massa "informe" di blocchi, si sfrangia sui fronti, in alto, in basso negli
angoli. cio' che sta al di sotto di questa "falsa" facciata e' di nuovo una
massa chiusa (a parte gli ingressi). qui si palesa la qualita' dei
progettisti, perche' sarebbe stato fin troppo facile far "scoprire" un
sotto-involucro trasparente, high-tech. una ulteriore qualita' del gruppo
e' data dalla capacita' di utilizzare in maniera simbolica materiali
"poveri" senza caricarli di velleita' monumentali, come i blocchi di
cemento e, in un altro edificio best, l'umile asfalto.

aesthetics of hybrid
landscape and architecture in the new hybrid aesthetics
lorenzo giacomini
aesthetics section of our laboratory will aim to clarify, deepen and
discuss the theoretical concepts that will underpin the design of the
section headed by prof. fabrizio zanni, the final stage of the same
laboratory, using a method of study that will match the constant
conceptual analysis and iconographic presentation.
in particular, the technical symposium will be devoted to a class
already dealt with many aspects of our laboratory in the corresponding stage
last year (under the title of the landscape aesthetics and modern
theories), ie the category of hybridization in which we want to give this
year a central role, as a reference design and aesthetic. as we read the web page (http://www.artsblog.it/post/5194/ibrido-
genetica-delle-forme-darte) presentation of the exhibition currently at
the pac in milan hybrid. genetics of art forms, it is also primarily a
perspective on all of the contemporary world: "in light of the new
geopolitical scenarios, with the impetus of globalization that makes
more extensive social relations, the crosscultural dynamics thicken
and the world reconfigures itself based on parameters hybrids". let me
tell you a process that characterizes the evolution of increasingly
obvious modern both in terms of material life or on the forms and
cultural trends, and is now explicitly recognized and formulated
conceptually in a variety of contexts, such as artistic just mentioned,
but also and especially in many areas of architecture and urban design
theorists and contemporary, as in the case of the new district of
beijing programmatically headed by steven holl architects as linked
hybrid.
this process is the theme of the cycle of seminars currently underway
at city university, hybridization in contemporary urban territories, headed by prof. zanni (ph.d. in architectural and urban design) http://www.urbanhybridization.net/indexfull.htm), which demonstrates with a wealth of international contributions to the presence of a widespread and significant cultural ferment about the
development of this category speaking specifically architectural. as a first approximation to the definition of hybridization in terms of our laboratory, we refer to the introductory pages (attached to the file
and downloaded from the publisher meltemi: http://www.meltemieditore.it/pdffiles/z017.pdf) of the
volume of carlo pozzi, ibridazioni architettura/natura (hybridizations architecture / nature), meltemi, roma 2003. several additional insights will also be developed with the support of some chapters of
my essay: l. giacomini, cosmo e abisso. pensiero mitico e filosofia del luogo (cosmos and abyss. mythical thought and philosophy of the place), guerini e associati, milano 2004 (both readily available to central city library studies, is the library clup).

urban aperture(s): porosity - a new model of public space
contemporary urban landcapes
four "genetic" changes in the urban landscape fabrizio zanni
anthropical-geographical landscape
the physical support to human activities (1) is, as we well know, as more complex and stratified than ever before. on the basis of the roman centuriatio, that had replaced the primitive ingens silva (2) and had reclaimed the marshland of padania, a structure that can still be seen today in many areas of lombardia, urban and non urban signs often contradictory have overlapped throughout the centuries, often repeating the same background. in milan since the mid nineteenth century until the sixties of the previous century the expansive background was based on the inbound layout and was often repeated, in terms of its larger or smaller dimensions, according to the mutual ranks of residential areas. subsequently and up until today this background contrasts with the more diffused one, with the proliferation and dispersion of anthropical activities and spaces throughout the entire physical support. we are now witnessing consolidation of this phenomenon, whose perspectives cannot yet be defined. the physical support, the anthropical space therefore possesses another "layer", made up of urban pieces, agricultural residues, infrastructures, built and un-built spaces, functional agglomerates of various kinds (3). when we speak of "landscape" we intend to discuss such structuring from a general point of view and not an analytical point of view; furthermore, the landscape implies a specific look (4) outside of this picture, that contemplates it in terms of perspective. renaissance authors, even if the landscape concept was not yet born (there are still a few centuries to wait), built their own ideal cities starting with the perspectives established pictorially. therefore what is the "perspective" space of the contemporary diffused city? it is an eccentric and diffused space, perhaps similar to a complex labyrinth (5); a labyrinth of labyrinths in which similar formal ensembles get caught up in distant and different places, due to the evil "genius" of globalisation of forms of settlement, but in which they meet up with "remarkable areas" of the urban system, "thresholds" of transition, spatial pauses in the urbanised continuum. given the importance of the infra-structural networks for the contemporary city, many of these threshold areas are made up of infra-structural bonds or by the special intersection within a specific context of infra-structural bonds, infrastructures and local morphology.
landscape as a "setting" to be consumed quickly from trains, from public means, from the highway the urban landscape flows dynamically and looses its physical nature. the building becomes a support for publicity, the public means itself looses the emblems of "lineage", municipality or public company, in favour of a mainly publicity restyling. in las vegas, as we all have seen, on the strip the bright signs count rather than the physical structures. when the urban structure becomes a setting of consumption logics rather than figures of control of personal shape, then the urban morphology looses its meaning of format of spaces and the building types tend to loose the important cogency of spatial complexes in favour of a fatal tendency of uniformity. this does not mean that the city is lost to architecture forever but it means that the form must search for different routes besides the traditional ones and must be able to swallow up the trend of rapid consumption of urban areas, before being swallowed up. unfortunately the current trend, for example in specialised shopping centres, is to use anonymous structures, leaving the role of formal expression to the superficial publicity "skin". false towers, false arcades, false nineteenth century galleries, false historical squares complete the commercial-publicity pastiche.
the "mobile" landscape of motorways the motorway landscape is multiple, as frequent visitors of "bridge" motorway restaurants know: it is made up of the changeable yet always the identical performance of the tarmac, the slategraytop of the beat generation (6), made dynamic by the constant flow of vehicles; but it is also the anthropical-geographic landscape that slides along the windows of travellers, the evasive icon of its real structure; finally these are the two previous landscapes seen from motorway restaurants. the architectural and urban subject of this special construction kind has been discussed in detail in the disciplinary essay (7) and in italian literature (8). the motorway with its components has therefore become a part of imaginary literature and of the literature of "topical figures" that populate imaginary architecture: this means that it has also lost its role as a heterotopic service and its buildings, tollgates, stations, motorway restaurants, petrol pumps, rescue areas and other means including the road network, footbridges, dirt paths, grassy inclined plains and road signs have entered into the groups of architectural spaces on various scales of connections.

urban design
urban design and morphogenesis of the generic city
fabrizio zanni
"where the motorway rises
above the steel structures of monsanto
illuminated by the moon"
(allen ginsberg)
questions of shape
the current formal structure of a contemporary city is one of the main subjects of current theoretical and experimental elaboration. the paradigms, the concepts, the disciplinary subjects developed to understand, explain and to face the current settlement condition in terms of development are very different and often contradictory. from a more general point of view of a "diffused city", used to stimulate one of the pre-eminent morphological-typological characters to the similar one of a "lost city" , to the koolhaasian concept of a "generic town, to the revision of the concept of "grossstadt" many roads have been undertaken to reach a systematic and coherent conceptualisation. without denying the concept of a diffused city, deriving from discussions on "urban sprawl" and refusing the ideology of "urban fragmentation", it is useful to start with the concept of a generic city that reminds us of the "urbe generica cerdiana", a paradigm of all cities that really do exist. therefore we can define a "generic city" as the current complex form of urban living in its numerous characterisations and articulations. one of its pre-eminent natures is the upheaval of its relationship with communication networks. from an appendix of compact cities that have become the vital layout for survival against the urban "stuff". let us now examine some characters following such upheaval, immediately after having attempted to summarise a minimum historical perspective of the urban "morphogenesis".
for a temporary classification of urban morphogenetic processes
human activities on the anthropic-geographical support have created an urban form through precise construction throughout the years of practices, foundation rituals, disciplinary and social apparatus. the additive procedure goes back to concepts of contours, fences, figures-backgrounds and includes an urban area undergoing development and a historically precipitated area, within a new a much vaster inclusive apparatus (walls, bastions). addition of the "raval" in barcelona, of the eighteenth century besides the "square" turin and the case of parma beyond the river constitute three important examples of a form of transformation of the historically dated city, precise and also elegant. in one part the new wall includes a part of this that it had previously excluded. the procedure characterised by urban expansion began with town and country planning of the second half of the nineteenth century. in at least two important situations, milan by engineer beruto and barcelona by ildefons cerd‡ , the question is the same: the size of the new city compared with the previous one and the new requirements; in the first case we know that the question lies in the fear of overcoming a threshold considered as compatible with the previous one as the "natural" development of the same; in the second case with the theoretical definition of the requirements of a generic city (urbe generica) and in their application within the territorial context of barcelona. in both cases the new urban form has, if it is not an insurmountable border (in beruto, the ring road); not even le corbusier is aware of it while it prepares a rationalist city within the borders of the measure defined in 1856 by cerda' together with the gatepac group.
the diffusion process, at least in the italian case, has not been designed by anybody: awareness of the agglomerative phenomenon underway can be traced back, at least in the case of lombardia, to the irer acts, the mip (milanese intercity plan), to ilses studies and to the organisations in charge of the lombardy region. previous illustrious individuals, in their interpretation of north american sub-urban sprawl, are the famous studies of christaller and isard and, from different points of view, of rodwyn and gordon cullen. the mip will draw up maps and studies for a polycentric development of the lombardy region and the metropolitan area of milan that will not, however, become plan regulations. the urban polycentric nature creates the foundations for the basis of the diffused form that creates a kind of perverted expansion. furthermore italian studies have also been created, now perhaps out of date, that attempt to orientate the polycentric and diffusive form: the study for the city of adda by gregotti, the future for the "nolana city", the study by paolo portoghesi for the "city of vallo di diano", for example, all aim at guiding diffusive pushes, even if partial and articulated throughout the territory, otherwise considered uncontrollable, within an "urban" form: these attempts are not efficient because they are contrasted by local pushes that are protected against any kind or urban and town planning coordination.
generic city: the nature of diffused urban forms
we know that we can no longer speak about the "form of a city" in its traditional meaning as passed down by the culture of the xix century. the architectural project follows this destiny, attracted by forms of "living" varied, multiple and extemporary spaces that must be able to control through its instruments. the case of euralille is worth mentioning in which the "public" spaces is incorporated within hyper-technological and substantially "private" "caverns", generating a spatial melting-pot that is very difficult to control using traditional instruments of architectural development and perhaps even more so by traditional instruments of town planning disciplines (8). the disappearance and degradation of open public spaces is a phenomenon that is difficult to contrast. social aggregation space is moving away from urban squares and "streets" towards the sole function of shopping strips, galleries inside large hypermarkets. in a farcical way and especially with regards to decor, they resume the icons of an urban space that is now dissipating. nineteenth century galleries or futuristic air gangways; environments almost in a liberty style or hyper-technological spaces: the external space is incorporated internally and this would not be so bad, considering that historically internal squares, passages and indoor markets, and other typological specifications of urban forms, have created public spaces that may be defined as "external-internal"; the problem is degradation of the same as pure caricature. a second serious problem, on an urban level, is determined by fragmentation of open public spaces. the specialised technical practices, technical offices, railways, organisations that own roads, energy suppliers and similar, transform the urban ground, that is to say the physical-settlement support of human living, according to partial objectives without taking into account the general layout of a "desire for forms". motorway connections, "channelled" junctions and masses, to name but a few of the elements of interruption, break the space up into a kind of "chaos" in which the space is degraded from "public" to "public property", to res nullius. the exponential increase in residual open spaces builds heaps of unused residual areas and without any apparent possibility of redemption. the main objective of this urban project is re-qualification of open public space to be re-transformed from chaos into cosmos, from piles of fragments to space systems formally concluded and articulated. without a doubt it is due to this phenomenon that the number of studies and projects aimed at the opposite objective has grown: recomposing, embellishing, recovering urban spaces; from gardens to public parks, from bus stops to their routes, to environments generally considered as "non urban", such as roundabouts. going beyond the limits of the architectural project once reserved to "traffic engineering", starting with studies by kahn for philadelphia, is something that has accumulated throughout the years; furthermore, in many cases the architectural and urban project has been mixed with landscape architecture which has, in the meantime, moved away from the previous "art of gardens", becoming more and more involved in the detailed and architectural definition of urban and road spaces and of the intermediate space of lost cities. in this context the infra-structural network is a very special urban area together with the spaces dedicated to flows, movements, communication and exchanges. the fact that in time it has replaced the traditional public spaces of the "compact" city, as can be seen from its last "organic" transformation, the nineteenth century, is common knowledge. but a very unique fact is that proliferation of the networks has coincided, with some delay and melancholic anathema of le corbusier, with the "death of the road". the main civil space of urban connections in its infinite morphological-typological versions stopped existing when the network, that is to say the territorial urban project of a diffusive nature and specialised in the road itself, the band, the strip and the junction became independent. at this point the majority of specialised development and management logics is devastating the settlement system and is making an integrated development in anthropical space very difficult.

in the lost city "areas of accumulation" of tension, power, activities and flows exist constituting important planning subjects but, in reality, are abandoned to more varied technical procedures and therefore are unable to build into important "urban structures" with a well defined synthetic form. the motorway, the most "domestic" of these spaces, has created a strong element of aggregation of spaces and activities by implementing, a strange and independent way, the utopias of a linear city. the motorway, just like any specialised network, is made up of bars and nodes, characterised by apparatus that adopt architectural languages and specialised visions: from the famous "bridge" motorway restaurants, service stations and tollgates. this interior part of the motorway is presented in a heterotopical form: it is enclosed, controlled at its entrance points, it is not accessible to all locomotion vehicles. however, outside of the fence there is a large accumulation of numerous activities, especially production and sales, to modify dramatically and radically the anthropical-geographical landscape. tidy and untidy, this settlement of limits, undergoing constant modification and accumulation, constitutes an important part of the generic city that is studied, interpreted, understood and, wherever possible, re-transformed. if the liminal settlement is one of the forms of this landscape, accumulation to the nodes of the system constitutes another agglomerative method. small and medium sized enterprises and markets of low-cost furniture appear to favour the limit for publicity reasons, while tertiary activities and large shopping centres, recreational activities and theme parks appreciate the node, the entrance and exit point, and they accumulate around motorway tollgates. the urban and architectural project should concentrate on these nodal areas much more. there are at least two possibilities of intervention on these device "sections" of urban space: working on and especially "around" the infra-structural bars on the edges of portions of the urbanised territory that are crossed around the road infrastructures, but also the large free spaces that accompany the local railway lines, the canals or watercourses, therefore acting on and around the three main connection systems (railway, road, water). but also working on the infra-structural bars not yet created, and there are a lot in lombardia, that have left discontinuous yet resistant traces on the earth. benjamin states "the trace is apparition of proximity, as far away as it may be, of what it has left behind". and continuing along the traces, may mean to designers outstretching a local strategy that makes an urban petrifying forest intelligible in its internal differences, in its intervals of discontinuity and in its remarkable areas. the airport represents a kind of archetype of the lost, a global city that tends to replace the city itself, in terms of its dimension and the level of aggregation of human activities. in a positive or negative way it represents the utmost technological effort in the construction of a kind of architecture of the infra-structural node. they are nodes of a global network of super communication that bring together scales of incommensurable relations at the same time.
the urban residual public space and its redemption
the question of public space, of its progressive degeneration and of the transfer of use of urban spaces to other kinds of uses comes about when the public spaces of the nineteenth century city, in which the civic traditions of italian cities exist since the middle ages, no longer welcome the traditional uses of space: furthermore, the new public spaces, built in the last decade, such as squares and pedestrian pavements do not succeed in replacing, in everyday use, the ones that have become the new public spaces of the lost city, that is to say the large extra-urban or peripheral-urban shopping malls. the public space, in everyday imagination, no longer lies, unfortunately, in the square, in the gallery, along the road, spaces that are rather outdated in large cities, used by tourists and by immigrants. it is easy to reach shopping centres by car with the whole family and it becomes a kind of global container allowing visitors to walk, look, buy, eat and drink at a low price. the architectural project on different relational scales, must therefore face these problems and define a new architecture for urban public spaces that included the infra-structural networks, the peripheral-urban fragmented spaces, the margins and the borders of the lost city, articulating a new spatial morphology, a modern kind of settlement, a coherent constructive and infra-structural technology. re-composition of the urban fragments in space systems with a recognisable settlement quality and a shape, even if complex, recognisable is the only solution for the urban project applied to the diffusive morphological-typological condition, overcoming an outdated "poetry of fragmentation" that, unfortunately, has only succeeded in generating prices of a disintegrated urban universe. in this way it is possible to rebuild, if not an urban unit that has been lost, a complexity of spaces fitted with a structural coherency. the urban project regains meaning, on a large scale, as an expression of architectural development applied to the dynamic of urban forms.
