 Filippo Macelloni, Massimiliano Fuksas. magma/frames, ITALIA 1999/2001 A problem with architecture is probably its not being able to communicate with laymen (and this causes a sort of self-satisfaction in architects). Ever since the first video made for Massimiliano Fuksas, on the Peace Center project in Israel (things were different then...), the idea was to focus on the communication ability of video language. The possibility of concentrating the richness and complexity of a project in a few minutes and with a “direct” language, without the pretension to explain it. Architecture videos can offer suggestions, hints and interpretations, rather than explain a project. Often in Fuksas’s work two tracks need to be followed: the track of drawings, where ideas generating the project come to light, and the one of the parallel construction of “handcrafted” models (cardboard, plexiglas, metal, wood) and computer models which all converge on the final result. Peace Center, Jaffa, 1999 , 3'50" This video was made on the occasion of the presentation of Fuksas’s project for the Peace Center in Jaffa-Tel Aviv, a place of encounter for Israelis and Palestinians. The story of the project follows the traces of Fuksas’s sketch on a window in his office in Rome. Photography: V. Radovic, E. Fiore Editing: C. Meneghetti Europark, Salzburg, 2000 , 2'30" This video on the Europark shopping Center in Salzburg was made for the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennial in 2000. Photography: E.

Made with Giovanni De Stefano Filippo Macelloni (1965) graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Florence in 1994 with a thesis titled “Florence like Disneyland”, which he began under Giovanni K. Koenig’s guidance and later completed with Egidio Mucci. He then devoted himself to cinema and collaborated with R. Benigni, R. Faenza, D. Argento, M. Sciarra. He made short films, music video clips, promotional videos, video installations and documentaries. As a repented architect, he nevertheless makes some videos on architectural and urban topics for the University, the Province and the Municipality of Florence.
