Click the 'architect headphone listening the album The Division Bell by Pink Floyd ... I relaxed a lot, their music helps me to become estranged from the Ralt ... Lately for
a number of reasons more than one person asked me to surprise, "Are you an architect??" Perhaps here I have never actually spoken, and many people who read the blog know that I only jewelry using various techniques (although there is a section architecture in these pages)
still have an architect ... but because there I say this?
Perhaps as never before in this period because I miss my work.
I enrolled in architecture because I'm in love with this area when my high school art history teacher made me know the great majesty as Alvar Aalto
, Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier , Louis Kahn and my favorite ...
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright I had many dreams about it, I knew that this passion would become my work, very ambitious and dreamed of one day being able to plan, an important building like the ones studied in the books ...

interogarmi Today I find myself on what will be my professional future in view of the disastrous situation which pays the construction industry, every day I hear from colleagues who remain without work, are not paid for months, even after years and years of experience earn less than the lady who goes to do the cleaning at the office with which they collaborate. .. how can this be possible?? Where 'is over the ethics profesional?
Another thing that makes me think of is that several colleagues recently told me they would do well to take the project forward Maison Vivì rather than the desire to do architecture ... I wonder if and when it'll never end this bad run, because I would still continue to be an architect!
I wonder if it makes sense to stay here, to fight against a system that does not work against an endless bureaucracy, against the non-existent development policies available to small entrepreneurs, professionals, craftsmen ... Our country is not the ideal place to invest your energy and then hope to obtain results, Italy is the country's anti meritocracy, here are the recommendations forward, who has the knowledge goes right, go ahead and this unfortunately rarely coincides with the ability and talent ...
I have several friends who chose to leave and try to realize their dreams elsewhere, then it is not even dream of .. most times it is simply to see recognition of its professionalism, to succeed to live in dignity of their work and thinking of building a future, all that in my view it is difficult to do here!
Today I saw the intervention of
Renzo Piano in the transmission of F. Fazio "Come away with me"
HERE find the video, but I transcribed the text to follow ... read it or watch it and share it if you like ... there is much truth in his words ... especially when says there is a whole generation that has been betrayed and that there are so many young talents that have nothing to do!
DO
Make, build, is betting the oldest man to sail together to discover and cultivate their fields ...
is a noble profession if the architect well done.
DO WELL
To do well you have to understand and listen, that is a complex art of listening is difficult because often the voices of those who have more to say are discrete and subtle, do not listen is to obey, to listen is not to find compromise, listen and try to understand and then the best projects.
do for others
Was once the common good ... do you always have to remember that architecture is to build buildings for people, schools, universities, museums, concert halls are all places that become outposts against ' barbarism, are places to be together are places of culture, art, and art has always lit a little light in the eyes of those who attend.
DO WITH CAUTION
Because the land has discovered and has now warned its fragility, so I do not believe in nuclear energy and instead firmly believe in renewable energy, Italy has uranium deposits, Italy has so much sun and wind
DO BEAUTY
Beauty is clear, if you beat it out his hand but if you define it as the Greeks were the beautiful and the good they are together then anything is possible.
The beauty and usefulness of the formalism put together prevail win the academy,
DO THE SILENCE
Building emotions sometimes .. architecture seeks the silence and emptiness in which our consciousness can be found, the silence is like the dark, we must have the courage to watch it, and then slowly begin to see the outlines of things, so the architecture is the art to create places for silent meditation.
Leave it
Frary must let the young people, we must put a little aside, in my studio work every year 20 students from around the world, we must enhance the talent, they need to face the policy competitions, there are so many young talents that have nothing to do. Today, an architect in Italy has little chance 50anni before there's a whole generation that has been betrayed fears the political talent because the talent gives you the freedom and strength to rebel
GO AWAY OR STAY?
In my youth I have to leave should go ... not out of desperation but out of curiosity .. and then have to go back and then go back, go to understand how the rest of the world but also for something else more importantly, to understand themselves, we Italians are like dwarfs on the shoulders of a giant, the giant is the culture, an ancient cultira that has given us a unique invisible ability to capture the complexity of things, articulate arguments, weaving together art and science and this is a huge capital, and for this there is always room for itanialità Stavola for the rest of the world. Renzo Piano
