Speed.
\nIn planning. One day and one night.
\nIn realizing. One week.
\nPlanning and building quickly (without foundations) means becoming like Spiderman (the staircase was planned for the access of the Fantastic Eight to the former Harbour Station) and hanging on to the heroic structure of the existing porch with a braced metallic frame, whose rafters also support the staircase.
\nThe symmetry of the porch and the building, the monument of Garibaldi, the movement starting from the horizontal level of the pier’s platform and slowly reaching elevation, compare with the deformed symmetry of the staircase: a well tempered monumentalism.
\nBy accident the different inclinations of the rafters-braces change, moving around the staircase and penetrating them; they overlap to the well known chaos of the port. They accidentally evoke and entertain.
\nAccidentally.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
