 Lorenzo Bianchini Il tempio espiatorio de la Sagrada Familia a Barcellona Università di Firenze, Italia 1999, 13' The object of this video is the creation of the expiatory temple of the Sagrada Family by Antoni Gaudi in Barcellona. The aim of this work is to develop, through various productive and technological phases, the reasons of the existence of such an atypical sit which requires very complex and articulate design methods. This video seeks to understand how new technologies, including calculators and computers, have contributed to a radical change of procedures since the artisan beginning of the site at the time of Gaudi. If the production then could have artistic connotations, we find ourselves today confronted with a concept of construction more similar to industrial rather than architectonic production. It is interesting to see how the successive phases of the continuation of the Temple can by analogy seem similar to the assemblage of a large mechanical piece. On the whole, one such conception of the site tends to annul the discrepancy between the thought and actualization of the project. This logic is the clear manifestation of a much evolved technique, but it can also produce a limit. Especially from the creative point of view of the creation of an architect, massive research of the help of mechanical (or information) means can conceal an impoverishment of human resources in the ambit of building, the attempt to supply to such a lack of sensibility with artificial means. Lorenzo Bianchini was born in Florence in 1973. In 1999 he completed his studies in civil engineering with a thesis on the "Observations of reality as design intuition in the works of Antoni Gaudi". |
