“Alvar Aalto: Se un leone inferocito saltasse dentro una finestra?”. Il titolo di questo articolo è una semplice domanda che che sorprende perché porta a cambiare il vostro punto di vista. Questa frase è presa in prestito da Alvar Aalto, perché al suo interno esprime un caso sconvolgente. Ci porta come un “viaggio” che comprende insieme uomini e animali in movimento. Per coloro che hanno la capacità di vedere ciò che ci circonda può essere una fonte di apprendimento, un fattore essenziale da considerare in progetti architettonici. A sostegno di questa teoria sono studiati alcuni schizzi di viaggio dello stesso Aalto, che per certi versi ha caratteristiche simili alle domande dei suoi racconti. Ogni domanda, ogni disegno contiene un componente misterioso per chiarire. Le posizioni indicate in movimento, dalla realtà alla carta, subiscono una trasfigurazione utile al progetto in progress. Dal carnet “viaggio” scopriamo ipotesi fatte nell’architettura del maestro finlandese. I disegni mostrano, in forma dialettica il ricordo di un luogo. Sono il risultato di un rispetto rigoroso e lento che amplifica il sentimento dell’autore e si trasforma in una rappresentazione rapida dai profondi sentimenti e dello sguardo curioso. La grafica dei disegni è un circolo virtuoso che rivela “idee di architettura” (titolo del libro pubblicato in Italia in serie a cura di Giuliano Glesleri nel 1987). Si mette sullo stesso piano lo sviluppo di una cultura architettonica e la sua espressione artistica. Leggere questi scritti è quello di capire come la sua gestazione architettonica è influenzata da tutto ciò che vede. La raccolta di saggi, in questo contesto, è una testimonianza del processo di progettazione di Aalto che, come un diario di viaggio, in realtà racconta di molti viaggi differenti. Per Aalto, opera dell’architetto coinvolge anche il lavoro del produttore ed innovativo per la progettazione di una casa singola e per la progettazione di una città. Egli non solo ha progettato l’ambiente caldo con caratteristiche organiche, ma con una combinazione di volumi e materiali ha creato luoghi, spazi e strumenti impressionanti per le esigenze quotidiane dell’uomo. Osservare alcuni dei disegni Aalto, realizzati in Marocco e in Sicilia, sta cercando di enfatizzare e sottolineare che tutto ciò che prendiamo atto, in ogni momento della nostra vita quotidiana, è legato alla persona che ha la capacità di “vedere”, nel rapporto fra dentro e fuori. È un riconoscimento dell’architettura di Aalto dove il contesto diventa luogo di relazione nell’evoluzione del progetto. Leggere i suoi scritti e comprendere le domande poste anche attraverso i suoi schizzi di viaggio è l’occasione per fare il punto su alcune di queste esperienze che, come gli strumenti di progetto, torneranno, anche inconsapevolmente, in progetti auspicabili.

Abstract
“Alvar Aalto: If a ferocious lion jumped in a window?”. The title of this paper is a simple question that that surprises because it leads to change your point of view. This phrase is borrowed from Alvar Aalto because within it expresses a shocking case. It takes us like a “journey” that includes together men and animals in motion. For those who have ability to see everything around us can be a source of learning , an essential factor to be considered in architectural projects. To support this theory are studied some travel sketches of the same Aalto , which in some ways has similar characteristics to the questions of his stories. Every question, every drawing contains a mysterious component to clarify. The locations shown on the go, from reality to paper, undergo a transfiguration useful to the project iin progress. From the “journey “ carnet also we discover assumptions made in the architecture of the Finnish master. The drawings show, in dialectical form the memory of a place. They are the result of a rigorous and slow observation that amplifies the author’s sentiment and turns into a quick representation of the deep feelings of his curious look. The graphic of the drawings is a virtuous circle that reveals “architectural ideas” (title of the book published in Italy in series edited by Giuliano Glesleri in 1987). He puts on the same level the development of an architectural culture and its artistic expression. Read these writings is to understand as its architectural gestation is impacted from everything he sees. The collection of essays in this context, is a testament to the design process of Aalto who, as a travel diary, in fact it tells so many different trips. For Aalto, the architect’s work also involves the manufacturer working and innovative for the design of a single house and for the planning of a city. He has not only designed the warm environment with organic characteristics, but with a combination of volumes and materials he has created places, spaces and impressive tools for the daily needs of man. Observe some of Aalto drawings, executed in Morocco and Sicily, is trying to emphasize and point out that everything we take note, in every moment of our daily lives, is related to the person who has the ability to “see”, to relations between inside and outside. It is a recognition in the architecture of Aalto that the context becomes a place in relation to the evolution of the project. Read his writings and understand the questions also posed through his travel sketches. It is an opportunity to take stock of all these experiences as the project tools who will return, even unconsciously, in desirable architectural projects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
