" HyperArchitectura - space age electronics "
Review of book by Prestinenza Puglisi, Text & Image, 1998
The title effectively identifies the topic in question and the sentence preceding the start is to understand how the author intends to address it. An analytical and constructive.
"My interest is in the future because i am going to spend the rest of my life there."
(Charles F. Kettering)
The book is divided according to characteristics of the 'HyperArchitectura "that are refuted by the author by subjecting analyzes some of the projects implemented by various architects and some of their theories.
In 1971 already feels the air of a new era, have foreshadowed the concepts of sensory and multimedia in the Centre Pompidou, ZKM predominates in the immaterial, the objects dematerialized and replaces the contents of the container. In 1992, in reference to University Library in Paris, Ito says, "my, is the antithesis of monumental architecture, buildings that will live for eternity," he often works on image devoid of all meaning, one that has reached the stage directions but has not yet been formalized in intellect and in which space is no longer as the vacuum in which dwell the solids, but as the medium through which to spread the information. The new architecture is the art of the age of electronics, ie computer and information technology. The electronics is characterized by three key words: projection, mutation, simulation. Eisenman
complaint House IV in preference to cold homes, indifferent to the functions, in his architecture, just like a work of conceptual art, to produce strange. Wittgenstein sees the house as "a temple housing the passions, without interfering with them", a guest house that's life, but it has nothing to do with it.
The concept of mutation is then delved into several parts: the transformation, the atomization, the logicizzazione, metaphorization.
objects loose their materiality and become information. The form can condemn the building loses strength. The case becomes increasingly irrelevant, while weight gain performance, systems rilavemento, bioclimatic controls, technical devices. McLuhan says, "building the nervous system is getting the upper hand over and muscles."
The new architecture arises with nature in a ratio of more diversity, but of integration.
The building technologically advanced lives of contacts with the outside, it works like a skin, nervous system, a membrane, and the traditional find its balance in as little as possible with the environment.
In the end, the reader, as the author, (with a little 'of headaches) will be in a whirlwind of questions, which concern the future. The computer with its potential, has opened new scenarios in front of us and we have to choose whether to be a protagonist or a mere spectator.

How Long Can Uncooked Sausage Sit Out
comment on the book" Introduction to IT revolution in architecture, "prof. Antonino Saggio
The text is intended for an attentive reader to the issue of information in relation to the architecture, will not not easily understood by "insiders".
The book starts from the realization of a revolution that is taking place, which covers many fundamental aspects of human life ... the "information revolution". Specifically analyzes the evolution of architecture in this new era, studying for classes at different scales and leads to reflect on what will be its future.
Many were the starting points for personal reflection, which then became subjects of comparison with other colleagues, such as computers from one machine to the individual size, become an instrument to interact with others, has built homes and sometimes even became a "confidant", a "relative". (Some relate more easily with a PC and with other people).
It changed the way the first act and then think, space, time, communication and human life.
Of all the chapters, what has given me more interest is that of the "City", because it summarizes all the topics covered and it is the manifestation in reality.
This chapter reflects on the role of information in the new phase of research in architecture and urban planning. I find it very effective method with which it dealt with the issue, as is identification of a tension on the change and that gives rise to the crisis. Fundamental analysis is the opposition "in-between vs in-front" when they say that information technology can create "... buildings and interactive live reagents at varying flows and incentives and desires "and that" ... the big change between the industrial age and computer [...] is at the center no longer the type, standard series, the product, the zoning, but the individuality and openness to many, the inclusion of the assumptions and theories, differentiation, and the subjectivity of desires and projects. "
Assuming that I live in a neighborhood characterized by multirazialità as the Esquiline in Rome, the questions that I pose are: the individual is ready to live in an "integrated city"? The man is actually willing to integrate it without losing its identity? If you would create fertile ground to engage those parts of society who live passively this revolution, there is a risk to mark the contrast between these urban realities?
