 Simone Muscolino Barbihaus Cliostraat, Italia 1999, 11' This video documents the contribution of Clio Straat to "A Mappe e Percorsi Urbani '98", a project of the municipality of Catania for the re-qualification of different urban areas. The operative site is the popular area "Trappeto Nord". Clio Straat decided to build a Barbie house, scale 1:1, a sort of new playing yard in mid of the huge buildings. The project intends to include other architects, musicians and collaborators who are invited to propose installations so that at the end there might be a big street party. The structure is made by hanging cables, a texture cover and the ground is covered by synthetic grass. In front of the Barbie house some sand has been put. The furnishing has been realised with old furniture donated by the inhabitants of the area. The building, sometimes painted with vivid colours or decorated with polychrome tiles, has been ended with the active co-operation of a large number of people who afterwards have dedicated their time to the maintenance. Simone Muscolino, born in Turin in 1973, got his degree in architecture at the Politecnico. He realised with Francesco Monaco Altrove (1995) that was presented at the International Young Film Festival (1997) and at Image|Architettura in Movimento (1998). Clio Straat is a team composed by people coming from different background. It has the basic aim to develop professional projects and in the meanwhile to develop a research through architecture, art, photography and cinema. |
