Beskrivelse
Assigned research project from La Biennale di Venezia 2008, exhibited within the framework of “L’Italia cerca casa”, the Italian Pavillon curated by Francesco Garofalo.
The research moves analyzing the Sant’Elia neighborood in Cagliari, Italy, a quarter built during the Seventies and become a “slum” during the following 20 years.
From the 2005, the Municipality decided to improve the standards holding a few initiative and politics among which two important international design competitions.
One of those is the new masterplan designed by OMA, that overlaps a new indifferent grid of typical residential blocks on the existing fabric slab.
Other Tenants aims to consider the Sant’Elia “problem” under a different point of view, imagining what if suddenly the human habits lose control in favor of the original local pioneers, taking back the concrete superstructure to a distopian scenario.
The vision was showed through three 2x2m drawings of the appropriation of the buildings by the nature.
The Other Tenants has been a provocative work to engage a discussion about the value of many civil superstructure building built by social municipal programs during the Seventies all over the Europe, in which the standards provided often never met the human scale of needs, leaving to the landscape the effort to absorb them.
In this case, the Drawing would be a tool to inscribe the explaination into a distopic context, where the story takes a familiar point of view for humans, but in which the humans are considered as a part of an unknow faraway past.
