Description

In this book named "Toward A Different Habitat: 36 Projects and Realizations of Luigi Pellegrin Architect" are exposed the principles of Systemic Architectures and Constructions. The book consists of two parts. First Volume, "Toward A Different Habitat": words. Second Volume, "36 Projects and Realizations of Luigi Pellegrin Architect": some exemplary designs of Luigi Pellegrin Architect. In short, here the basic assumption is that nature is systemic. And that we can design and build systemic architectures and constructions beyond the form that the same architectures or constructions can take, because, as is well known, the forms are unlimited. The result will be a form-function that doesn't have to hide behind a mask or behind a label, thus revealing its essence. In this sense "form follows function". The working method is organic, relational, functional, one more time along the way opened in the past by two of the masters of Modern Architecture such as Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright: the way of organic architecture. So it's still valid that nature is the best teacher, "natura naturans", without for this reason divinizing it. Man and society are not outside nature, but inside nature (Serge Moscovici, 1972), being themselves nature. They are the measure of any architecture. Let us not forget. Maybe is the ultimate goal to we be able to design living architectural organisms? No, because an architecture doesn't need to be a living organism at all, it is another world, but not a world apart, not an empty and dead shell. The ultimate goal is instead to build a language of contemporary architecture, simple, understandable by all, capable of evolving, thus managing to raise the qualitative level of modern construction practice. Nothing transcendental. In the past men with two feet, two hands and a head like us have succeeded: Arabs, Japanese, Hindus, Europeans, Khmers, etc. So why on the Earth all of us "evolved", today, continue to produce cities and habitats that look like cow shit squashed on a meadow? The answer to this question is contained in all the set of pages that follow. There is no slogan, magic, miracle, flash of genius, but only research and continuous work. M.L.
