Honor Imperfection as a hidden intention - en udstilling af Onsitestudio
Angelo Lunati og Giancarlo Floridi fra Onsitestudio har lavet et Wunderkammer med titlen " HONOR IMPERFECTION AS A HIDDEN INTENTION."
Afsættet er brudfladerne mellem industrielt byggeri, arkitektonisk håndværk og arkitekturens kunstneriske dimensioner.
Udstillingen sætter fokus på det sanselige i arkitekturens materialitet og kvaliteten i bygningers materialer.
Vises på KADK biblioteket fra 21. april til 1. juni 2017.
Onsitestudio skriver om udstillingen:
" For the XXI Triennale, O n s i tes t u d i o proposes a cabinet of wonders, a small Wunderkammer. The exhibition examines certain aspects of making architecture in the contemporary world: through the careful arrangement of different sets of objects, finished or unfinished things, production tools, surfaces, couplings, molds, raw materials – all elements that have the charm of the catalogue and their own objective beauty at the same time the exhibition reflects on the present possibility of grant- ing architecture physical presence, applying both industrial production and craftsmanship.
The investigation thus focuses on the atmospheric qualities of buildings, the possible ambiguities between industrial production and craftsmanship, including the loss of the physical dimension due to the industrial process and human interaction inside contemporary production processes.
In relation to the strong virtualization and hyper-industrialization of production processes, architecture loses materiality, and the sense of it. This leads to the need to recover the physical quality of buildings, the sensation of their materials, the perceptive qualities related to variations and imperfections of bodies (constructed or otherwise).
This may happen by going back to the working tools, reasserting craftsmanship in the concrete presence of the unfinished materials, coming to terms with the physical quality of architecture, made of materials that are always different, like the people who produce them.
These sets of objects refer to three projects by Onsitestudio in Milan: the hotel on Piazza Duca d’Aosta, the BASE cultural center at the former Ansaldo site, and the public school in Cascina Merlata. "
