Event #17
Cino Zucchi, Aldo Colonetti
Architectural space in the past, the present, the future
As Kant wrote, space is one of the “PRIOR FORMS” which, together with time, allows every one of us to understand – and therefore to change – the world. Space is both collective and individual, and it is within this very complex relationship that the architect must intervene with his or her project. Yet how can we speak of a language of the present, knowing that the space we are given comes from the past, while more and more often the rules of the game are dictated by the future? The issue will be tackled, along with Aldo Colonetti, by Cino Zucchi, who has always proven sensitive to these topics, and who for years has been designing and building in contexts where transformations, anthropology, emotions and even conflicts are configured by space. A selection of architectural projects will illustrate the perennial dialogue between past, present and future, between permanence and transformation, that any space carries within itself.
