THE THINKING BEHIND DESIGN

  The Cube City Nr 4 represents morphologically a satellite city or rather the phenomenon that in urban planning is called conurbation: the cities near the great city are designed to decentralize the services and to decongest the great city in a prospective of expansion till to reach megaregions.  In the time the great city and the nearby ones they unite untill to lost completely their urban connotations and the configuration of many cities becoming a unique city called megacity.  All these small cities around the great city represent their satellites and are correlated the great city.  The small cities grow so according to their own urban plans and/or proceeding along the direction of expansion suggested from the great city.  It seems to live in a neighbourhood of a city but in reality you live in a city that it is part of a megaregion.  We have many megacities. I have choosen as examples four of these.  The first city is Biddhannagar, it was born to ...

  The linear city is a city that in the time it’s grown along a terrestrial communication artery for commercial and trasportation motivation.  It has a lengthened and narrow form and it proceeds along a central axes that it’s an infrastructure of trasportation.  It’s born and was developed across a river or a maritime artery or across an infrastructural artery as railways or roads.   Its main characteristic is the linearity or rather growing in linear way and being lengthened and narrow. Soria y Mata , a spanish architect of nineteenth century, theorized this city with linear topology. He proposed the “ Ciudad Lineal ”, an settlement of definite width with a central axes of indefinite length.   In reality there are many historical cities so, that they proceed along a road or a river or a maritime artery, but in the time the urbanization has caused the lost of the distinguishing feature of linearity.  To can conserve this characteristic the cities have ...

  When we speak about art, all of you consider classical sectors as painting, sculpture, photography and cinema without thinking that also in the programming and in the math there is the development of new artistic paths in line with the graphics and the digital art. They suppose a background of knowledge more extensive lied to mathematical algorithms and complex computer programming.  If the experience in the fractal art allowed me to extend the artistic and mathematical competences, the generative art allowed me to put in practice this competences from the point of view of programming in a different way and in relation with digital graphics.  The common vision of both arts is in the fractal formulas on which is based the study of dinamic systems, in both cases we find the caos in the algorithms and only the designer decides how sets order.  The fractals are geometric object with the character of auto-similarity as defined from the chaos theory and are described as ...

  I begin again to write after a long time of silence and after I have kept at a safe distance the world of writing. It’s not easy to return on one’s steps, especially if you are a visual creative who uses the writing for the necessary to explain the own projects.  It’s hard to explain to people who read you, the reasons which take you to open a publication on web, it’s hard to not think how you can make known the arguments each time you will discuss if you know these arguments are not common but there are few people interested them.  I think the first post must be a preface on what we would like write in the following posts. It must represent our imaginary line on which to pin down the topics we would like to talk about, a reference for all those times we lose sight the pourpose for which to write, a note to be read every time it’s missing the reasons to continue, an engagement to be revise to the need to reorganize own work in a new viewpoint and under new scenary....
