Un gruppo di cinque studenti dell’Università Iuav di Venezia – Carla Colzani, Tiziano Deromedi, Arianna Gorin, Shenav Ragiv, Chiara Serafin – accompagnati e diretti dal prof. Emanuele Garbin, è stato invitato dal prof. Zhang Jianlong del CAUP, il College of Architecture and Urban Planning della Tongji University di Shanghai (dir. prof. Li Zhenyu), a partecipare all'edizione di quest'anno del Tongji International Construction Festival.
Il programma di quest'anno prevedeva il progetto e la costruzione di un piccolo padiglione abitabile, cercando di riflettere e far riflettere sul concetto di "microcomunità".
Lo Iuav ha ben figurato vincendo il terzo premio, in una competizione a cui hanno partecipato più di sessanta università di tutto il mondo.
Il motto del progetto Iuav era:
OUR SKY, OUR EYES, OUR HORIZONS: WE.
['LET'S GO TO SEE THE STARS TOGETHER']
Dalla relazione consegnata alla giuria:
The first
community: I - while I'm speaking with myself.
The first
community: I - while I reflect myself into your eyes.
I live in
another country, I speak another language, I feel the desire of looking at the
same sky together with you.
Two horizons:
the natural horizon, and an inclinated horizon that comes deeper into the earth
and goes up into the heaven..
The pavilion is
essentially a place of reflection and meditation. The sight of its
'inhabitants', lying down or sitting side by side, is directed at the openings
atop the two pyramids and pauses contemplating the image of a piece of sky.
A slot at eye
level who stands in front of the back facade attracts the glance of those who
pass and this crosses with the ones looking out from the inside.
The pavilion
building is an opportunity for first year students to reflect on the meaning of
architecture, which can not be reduced to a simple stylistic or formal fact.
Architecture,
with its own means, speaks of the world and the life of men.
Architecture
'talk' is mainly made of questions. These questions are not limited to
technical or stylistic matters. The most important and perennial questions are
not about style or technique.
