 Giuseppe Mantia, INTERFERENCE CITY, ITALIA 2002, 6'50'' Today it is necessary to set up new ways of reading and mapping the socio-morphological conditions of the city. It is crucial to recognize processes that break with previous organizational systems and are related to dimensions like speed, and a changed infrastructural, technological and media context. The used techniques can be of different types: reported interviews, mappings of local TV broadcasts, panoramic views of the landscape and video-shots from the car. We propose interference as an operational tool to manipulate the existing conditions and to provide potentials for public urban life. What we have is: interference city. It is the city of the continuos shifting of borders, thresholds and limits. It is the city of space-time density, of the exchange of information, media and thinking. It is the city of material and immaterial infrastructure. In it, osmosis, infiltration and symbiosis are the glue, the engine and the stimuli for new unpredictable conditions. Giuseppe Mantia (1964) studied at the Architectural University of Venice IUAV. After his graduation in 1991 he attended the postgraduate programme at the Berlage Institute Amsterdam, Postgraduate Laboratory of Architecture, where he received a master degree in 1998. He collaborates with the office of Gregotti Associati International in Milan and Venice, Concalo Souza Byrne and associates in Lisbon, and De architekten Cie in Amsterdam. In 1996 he founded with Karl Amman the office Nowhere architects Amsterdam. In 1998 (with Karl Amann) he was among the ten finalists in the competition for a new building for IUAV. In 1999 (with Greek architect Sofia Vyzoviti) he was the winner of the Europan 5 Competition with a project for the Greek site of Athens-Amaroussion. |
