Il saggio descrive i risultati di un'esperienza di seminario/workshop extracurriculare, svoltosi a Palermo nel 2005 (dal titolo: “Futura. Come abiteremo domani”). La metafora dell’ipertesto, spesso utilizzata da architetti, filosofi e urbanisti come metafora significativa per descrivere la condizione metropolitana contemporanea, risulta particolarmente efficace quale rappresentazione sintetica dell’idea di casa che abbiamo inteso indagare, per alcune sue qualità essenziali che trovano immediato riscontro nelle nuove modalità dell’abitare. All’interno del tema più generale della casa “ipertestuale”, la sperimentazione diretta dal Emanuele Palazzotto ha inteso esplorare alcune possibilità di nuova strutturazione spaziale dell’abitazione, che derivano dallo scardinamento delle tradizionali configurazioni gerarchiche, lavorando sulla metafora del tessuto relazionale della rete. Secondo questa accezione di abitazione ipertestuale, la stanza recupera il suo ruolo di unità minima di riferimento, cellula vitale autonoma, polisenso e poliforma; essa si pone come spazio dell’individualità, centro attorno a cui si struttura lo spazio esistenziale del singolo. L'esplorazione sia stata condotta seguendo una concezione di casa ipertestuale che non cerca le proprie ragioni nell’apparato tecnologico (di cui pure si giova), ma nel sistema dei rapporti spaziali che è possibile instaurare tra le componenti abitative elementari (in ogni eventuale temporanea conformazione), con la città e/o con l’ambiente esterno più esteso. Le modalità compositive adottate hanno peraltro garantito l’impiego di sistemi costruttivi semplici e/o prefabbricabili, l’applicazione di sistemi di autosufficienza energetica provenienti da fonti rinnovabili e l’adeguata gestione del microclima interno, affidando alla pelle e alle coperture dei volumi il ruolo di efficiente interfaccia ambientale.

Abstract
The essay describes the results of an experience of seminar / extracurricular workshop, held in Palermo in 2005 (with the title: "Futura. How we will live tomorrow"). The methaphor of hypertext, often used by architects, philosophers and urban planners to describe the contemporary condition of the metropolis, is especially effective to represent the idea of home we have investigated, because some of its essential qualities can immediately be found on new ways of living. Within the more general theme of the "hypertextual" house, the experimentation direct by Emanuele Palazzotto intended to explore some possibilities of structuring new dwelling space, which result from disruption of the traditional hierarchical configurations, working on the metaphor of the relational fabric of the network. According to this meaning of hypertextual house, the room recovers its role as the minimum reference unit, independent living cell, polysemic and varied; it stands as the individuality space, the center around which the existential space of the individual organizes itself. The exploration was conducted following a conception of hypertextual house that does not look for its own reasons in the technological equipments (of which it also takes advantage), but in the system of spatial relationships that can be established between the elementary components of the house (in every eventual temporary conformation), with the city and / or with the more extensive external environment. The methods of composition adopted have also guaranteed the use of simple building systems and / or prefabbricabili, the application of energy self-sufficiency systems from renewable sources and the proper management of the internal microclimate, giving to the skin and to the roofs the role of effective environmental interface.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
