Altre filosofie dell’abitare
XXI
Triennale, Palazzo della Triennale, Milano, 2016
D1 is the
room which discloses the discovery of the domestic space.
A series of
concentric enclosures made of thin and coloured metal columns defines an
elliptical space. Within this space the threshold between inner and outer space
is progressively unveiled allowing the visitor to acknowledge the role of
Architecture in mediating landscape, domestic space and objects.
The
reasoning- fostered by a fascinating experience of hospitality lived in the
private interiors of Beirut – points out a timeless way of dwelling,
deeply-rooted in the collective memory of the whole mediterranean area.
A series of
satellite spaces rotates around a central void: it is the home and the city
which all of us can remember and imagine.
D1 lays on
the ancestral will of stopping which captured the wandering Man: one day,
fascinated by the qualities of a Place, he chose to stay.
In this
sense, D1 is the “the first room of the Man”: the place where we have
discovered ourselves and where we have recognised we are no longer nomads; that
place where we collect everything we find on our path and that Place around
which we build our home.
D1 is the project of the threshold beyond which
the space is no longer wild but rather domestic.
