The block of offices is located within a suburban industrial site, originating from a \u201crural\u201d past. The area is crossed by the coal ducts, taking coal from the Harbour of Vado Ligure to the power plant, marked by two smokestacks; it contains a big dump (whose property and management belong to the client) several industrial and commercial buildings, an ancient village (Bossarino), the link road between Savona-Turin and Genoa-Ventimiglia motorways and obviously the surrounding green area. The project focuses on Context. The style we have chosen to deal with such theme is Realism. Realism involves the recognition of prefabricated tertiary, industrial and commercial buildings. Realism involves facing Modernity and its decline, visible in the outskirts of our cities. Realism is recognizing the context. The \u201cStudium\u201d of Barthes\u2019 photography. Realism is defining the key point, the \u201cPunctum\u201d, of the project: the stratification of horizontal elements, matching the territory by means of its infrastructures (Studium), on the one hand, and the superposition of the horizontal elements, producing interesting plays of light, on the other. Bow windows and \u201cembedded\u201d windows alternate. All of a sudden, a desire for cinema – and dream – adds to Realism and to its straightforward composition, characterized by shades of grey. Colourful lights, red yellow and blue, different for each floor, light on at dusk or during winter mornings. Approaching the building we will discover the same colours in the intrados. We will discover unexpected edges and changes. Strong. Expressive. It seems we have found the \u201cPunctum\u201d. Contextual Realism is now Magic Realism. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
