Architetti senza tempo, Gae Aulenti. Città opera aperta

“The architecture in which I would like to recognize myself derives from three fundamental capacities of an aesthetic and not a moral order. The first is the analytical one, in the sense that we must be able to recognize the continuity of both conceptual and physical urban and geographical traces, as specific essences of architecture. The second is the synthetic one, that is to know how to operate the necessary synthesis in order to clarify the principles of the architecture. The third is the prophetic one, typical of artists, poets and inventors. ” (Gae Aulenti)

Gae Aulenti conceived architecture as an art of the city and the architectural project could not help but be commensurate with it, starting from the constraints imposed by the places in which it operate.

The curatorial choice was to select four projects realized in the four cities of the Open House Italia network, Milan, Rome, Turin and Naples, to trace a common thread of the author in the context of Architetti Senza Tempo and pay homage to the architect Aulenti in the year of the tenth anniversary of his death.

The exhibition therefore sees four important projects related to historical places (The Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome and the Palavela in Turin), or crucial junctions for the viability of the city (Piazza Cadorna in Milan and Piazza Dante in Naples). Four architectures that tell, the design vision of Gae Aulenti, the restoration of spaces, the dialogue between the pre-existing and the city and the importance of art.
