What Is The Best Way To Inflate My Belly

" 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.
