How is an urbanization of the left ? 2 ° few days ago I had to write and see published in part, the paper AA, the following considerations:
But the architects have left? may be that the cart does not sound like much to the society of our time, but I doubt that cubizzazione-day leave its mark in the history of civilization and the overall level of the people. The
cubizzazione obviously not born in Bolzano, a small appendage of the Western world, but here just a few examples of application of the cube to highlight a trend perhaps deliberate, perhaps unconscious. However, symptomatic of a trend that we do not hesitate to think negative.
Nearly thirty years urbanism in Bolzano is in the hands of surveyors / architects socialists / communists and we can venture that the policy affects education. You can be happy with the way the city has evolved? I think not.
At many houses three-story apartment blocks have been replaced by urban canyon effect and continue to proliferate. How many architects will have to live in the new district Firmian? District New, modern, meeting all the standards, etc.. etc.. Lack of space and housing crisis is no excuse weak and instrumental. And 'everyone knows that "he who does the first draft" of 50% has an advantage over others. Other than consultation.
What effects are present in the way of urbanizing today? Increase of human density. Increased social isolation. Increase in petty crime and vandalism. Collapse of solidarity among neighbors. Collapse of relations between neighbors. Collapse of a sense of respect for property, public and others. The way of building counts. And how! The rules for building count. And how!
But what is the primary objective of certain urbanization, some planning? Who is the focus of interest? The gain? Speculation? The person? What happened to the aesthetics? Attics retrieved, spun off stairwell, private garden and communal understood as color (green Firmian is made of carpet); garage deeper and deeper with damage to the aquifer (the water we drink).
Green and climate that position do? The convenience and functionality that are considered? For us green is understood instead as a decorative element is essential for controlling air and climate of the city. Once the buildings were designed to live well, built according to the movement of the sun with obvious advantages of saving energy and thus reducing pollution.
throughout Spain has adopted a building code that requires new buildings use solar panels. There are clear effects on the economy of industry, energy efficiency and urban pollution.
What interest has been pursued in recent decades? The weakest segments of the population and exposed to the benefits it has drawn? And 'This is the view of the world from the left? There is a palace built in recent years that deserves to be photographed by tourists? The attack on the achievements of the rationalist period has allowed us to create quality spaces worthy of a future or not? What right does not come from nothing concrete no consolation.
One council / wish: designers and builders when they get around the table, where they learned to think of accomplishments would be happy to live and live. Inside and outside the houses. Regardless of the level of prices. And with doses of common sense.
whatever? Too easy guys!
Ravagnani Franco - 07.08.2006
Stage 2 Tuesday, 09.08.2006
the Municipal Council of Bolzano has approved the working draft of the councilor responsible for urban planning that provides for (here he is!) The waiver of a Grid Projects to remake the PUC (City Urban Planning) and the involvement of a consortium of local architects to define the main features of the new PUC.
Good. (For them)
A city inhabited exclusively by architects would wonder.
A normal city should take account of other sensitivities.
In the pool I would see a good expert in the cultural world, an expert in the social world, an expert in the business world. E 'asking too much? Mah
