Precision, density, the city: a Diamond for Bologna. Nothing strange. Nothing is knocked down. It is not strictly necessary.
\nThere has been no attempt to overlap and cancel out or overwhelm and destroy, even with it is all played down by startling architectural languages. No. The city must use this gap to re-establish union and interaction. It must rediscover its grounding, relational features: courtyards, porticos, parks, secret or reflective gardens, water which is either unexpected and magical or rediscovered and reassuring.
\nInteraction between public and private space.
\nThe city thrives on density.
\nDensity coming from activity, motion, reality, time.
\nThe fabric is the layering of this physical and temporal density, it is the different speeds and paces of the city being given concrete form.
\nWe build a piece of the city.
\nSuspended, in its reflections, between the heavens and earth.
\nPrecision, Density, Tenacity, Layering, Conductivity, Multiplicity.
\nA diamond for Bologna.
