Poliorcetics is the branch of military art that studies methods, technics and means for besieging cities and fortresses. It is an art that, like Architecture, transforms places into tools, actions, strategies, and implies a strong knowledge of subjects that go beyond the Art of War and include engineering, geology, anthropology and politics.

The idea of conquest, is not just linked to control, supremacy, and suppression, but also to fusion among cultures, like in the case of Alessandro Magno and the fusion of his Hellenic Reign with Indian peoples. With this theoretic background, the contemporary territory can be read as a juxtaposition of antithetical city models, and its form as the synthesis of different interpretive and modelling capacities typical of men and of their being-in-the-world.

Copritelo con l’edera!

4th 5th 6th March 2016 at Spazio Punch

Dedicated to the case of the Hotel Santa Chiara in Venice, Copritelo con l’edera! (Cover it with ivy!) is an exhibition project that extends the research started by the architect Stefano Tornieri in August 2015 on social networks, especially on the facebook page Atlante dei possibili Santa Chiara (Atlas of the possible Santa Chiara). A site specific installation presents the photomontages created by the followers and some of archival documents on the building. A talk and a book round up the investigation on the relationship between architecture and its perception and communication.

Poliorceticon is a permanent process implying heterogeneous and punctual transformational actions able to independently generate systematic reactions and relations amongst the elements of the contemporary city.  

Come to visit us at 15th International Architecture Biennale, in Padiglione Venezia {Giardini} from May 28th to November 27th.

Referendum, The architecture of maximum consent.

The architecture of maximum consent will be directed to erase completely the authorship of the architect. The new attitude foresees the maximum consent as the ultimate purpose of the city design process.

Bruno Zevi in “On Architectural Criticism and Its Diseases” wrote: no-symmetry, disagreement, human proportion instead abstract formal proportion, disorder of architectonic elements, dynamic spaces thought non for contemplation but for the use, as the characters of a Democratic Architecture.
