Il senso degli architetti per il paesaggio
Il paesaggio in primo piano oggi sulla scena contemporanea è di fatto un nuovo paesaggio, che deve fare i conti senza infingimenti con le rapide trasformazioni dei territori, con le problematiche gravi del consumo delle risorse, dei mutamenti climatici, della crisi economica e che tuttavia non può e non deve dimenticare i temi della storia, della memoria e soprattutto della cultura (materiale e non) su cui anche i nuovi paesaggi possono e debbono riconfigurarsi.
Sovrascrivere il palinsesto-paesaggio è ineluttabile per affermare una seria cultura progettuale nei confronti della stessa “percezione delle popolazioni” cui la Convenzione Europea del paesaggio si richiama. I modi di questa sovrascrittura sono da trovare in un dialogo interdisciplinare ricco e profondo e nella stessa rifondazione che ne può derivare delle discipline del progetto.
Il carattere relazionale e la centralità dei fattori tempo e movimento nel progetto relativo al paesaggio – indagabili nelle loro radici storiche che affondano sia nelle esperienze dell’antichità classica sia in quelle della civiltà orientale o ancora nelle esperienze pre-moderne del romanticismo e del pittoresco – connettono la ricerca architettonica a un filone di interessi strettamente legato al pensiero estetico-filosofico e scientifico, rintracciabili soprattutto nel campo della fenomenologia della percezione e delle geometrie non-euclidee, nonché nelle sperimentazioni delle arti legate ai concetti di motion-emotion, dal cinema alla danza, dalle visual arts alle varie arti performative fino alla environmental art.
In occasione del ventennale della firma a Firenze della Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio, i November Talks 2020 presso l’Università Iuav di Venezia si propongono di offrire dei contributi al dibattito attorno al rapporto che l’architettura contemporanea ha spesso cercato di istituire con gli aspetti figurativi, spaziali e topografici del paesaggio, nonché con le sue caratteristiche di universo percettivo dinamicamente mutevole, sviluppando anche un evidente interesse alle problematiche ecologiche.
Tale attitudine ha favorito un frequente e ricco dialogo fra gli architetti, i paesaggisti e gli artisti “ambientali”, nel tentativo di confrontare e coniugare gli strumenti del progetto d’architettura con quelli del progetto di paesaggio e dell’arte ambientale.
I quattro architetti invitati per il ciclo di talks quest’anno sono scelti nella vasta rosa di importanti architetti contemporanei la cui ricerca ha sviluppato in modi originali e peculiari il tema dei nuovi paesaggi al punto di connotare profondamente secondo tale influenza le loro risposte progettuali.
The architects’ sense for the landscape
The landscape in the foreground today on the contemporary
scene is in fact a new landscape,
which must deal with the rapid territorial change, with the serious problems of
resource consumption, climate change, economic crisis, and which however cannot
and must not forget the themes of history, of memory and above all of culture
(material and non-material) on which even new landscapes can and must be
reconfigured.
Overwriting the palimpsest-landscape is inevitable to
affirm a serious design culture towards that "perception of the
populations" to which the European Landscape Convention refers. The ways
of this overwriting are to be found in a rich and profound interdisciplinary
dialogue and in the re-foundation that can derive from this for the design
disciplines.
The relational character and the centrality of time and movement factors in the landscape project - investigable in their
historical roots that sink both in the experiences of classical antiquity and
in those of Eastern civilization or in the pre-modern experiences of
romanticism and picturesque - connect architectural research to a stream of
interests closely linked to aesthetic-philosophical and scientific thinking,
traceable above all in the field of the phenomenology of perception and
non-Euclidean geometries, as well as in the experiments of the arts linked to
the concepts of motion-emotion, from
cinema to dance, from visual arts to various performing arts up to
environmental art.
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the
signing in Florence of the European
Landscape Convention, the November
Talks 2020 at the Iuav University of Venice aim to offer contributions to
the debate around the relationship that contemporary architecture has often
tried to establish with the figurative spatial and topographical aspects of
landscape, as well as with its characteristics of dynamically changing
perception, also developing, on the other hand, an evident interest in
ecological problems.
This attitude has fostered a frequent and rich dialogue
between architects, landscape architects and "environmental" artists,
in an attempt to compare and combine the tools of the architectural design with
those of the landscape design and environmental art.
The four architects invited for the cycle of talks this
year are chosen from the wide array of important contemporary architects whose
research has developed the theme of new landscapes in original and peculiar
ways, to the point of profoundly connoting their design responses according to
this influence.

Sandro Marpillero + Linda Pollak (MPA Architects)
MPA’s
multidisciplinary design practice, rooted in the strengths and sensibilities of
its partners, spans architecture, landscape, and urban design, enabling us to
mine the rich and often unseen potentials of a project and site. Their
award-winning projects in the United States and elsewhere receive acclaim for
the skill with which they redefine their contexts at multiple scales, not only
realizing innovative and technically robust design solutions, but enriching a
project’s productive impact on its surroundings.
Any project intervenes in
natural and built environments that already exist, which have been invested by
social practices long before new needs sponsor their transformation. For
MPA, design is a way to take things that exist in the world and intensively
revalue them through invention and design innovation. Closely examining
what is, they derive meaning and express identity through reciprocity: inside
and outside, architecture and landscape, existing and new. Their
multi-scalar, multidisciplinary thinking enables us to take on challenging
sites and tight budgets: discovering synergies between client, program, and
place, they invent solutions that transform liabilities into benefits.

graduated in Architecture
from Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia, Venice, Italy. He established Reiulf Ramstad
Architects (RRA) in 1995 in order to create an architectural practice that
would turn conceptual research and practical knowledge into driving forces of
sustainable design. RRA has earned a reputation for innovative architecture,
displaying deep understanding of the uniqueness of every site and program and
rejecting standardized solutions. Reiulf Ramstad has worked with various types
of project as both design architect as well as project leader.

and Design (AHO) and was a regular thesis advisor and juror in the Faculty of
Architecture. He was acclaimed professionally as board member of NAL, the
National Association of Norwegian Architects, in the period between 1997 and
2000, where he became vice president between 2000-2002. He has served as a jury
member for many architectural competitions both domestically and
internationally. In the recent years, following numerous awards and publicity
