place Aeroporto di Brindisi / Brindisi Airport

year 2019

client TPP Teatro Pubblico Pugliese

The exhibition “The Sea of Intimacy” has been on show for a year, from July 2019 to July 2020, in the complex spaces of the airport of Brindisi in Puglia after a period of exhibition in Trieste.

The objects exposed deal with the treasures from the Apulian coast, but not only, and are the result of a meticulous and accurate work of selection.

In the articulate hallways of the airport terminal there are amphoras, wrecks and rests of ships, objects and earthenware used by mariners, sculptures and digital materials appropriately disposed for the viewer.

The show is organized in various steps on two levels: ground floor and first floor. The introductive panel is to be found on the outside in the immediate vicinity of the entrance to the airport, followed by a series of exhibition points dislocated in various spaces on the ground floor and characterized by a common formal design: curve-shaped vertical panels that let come to mind the waves of the sea hold the showcases with the exhibits and the screens for documentaries (video in loop). The panels are set on a printed film with images of the sea and indications of the title of the specific section of the exhibition.

The flow of the exhibition is interrupted by a particular fitting for a space with double height which connects the first and the second level of the exhibition: the reconstruction of a cave and two showcases in the form of a ship section, to explain how the amphoras were positioned and transported in these in the ancient times.

The double height allows for curved panels with images of the sea to be suspended from an iron grid and the profile of a diver at work. In the same space a three-sided pole is provided with video screens.

The reconstruction of the cave uses the system of the curve shaped panels to form a more intimate space in which to admire a projection on floor and walls which reproduces the aspect of the bottom of the sea.

DWELLING ON THE THRESHOLD: ARCHITECTURE AND PSYCHIATRY

Psychiatry and architecture: combination that results in choosing the way of taking care and support for emotional suffering, combined with the creation of environments that put the concept of wellness in the first place.

This is the theme of the exhibition “The deconstruction of the threshold. The architecture of mental health” that starassociati has helped to create in partnership with the ASS1 Triestina and the Department of Mental Health.

Exhibited projects at the forefront of implementation of Mental Health Services (MSC) located throughout the region and nationally.

With the help of photos, data sheets, drawings and plans, the buildings are proof that through the mutual exchange of expertise, psychiatric and architectural, it is possible to combine the concept of taking care and therapy with that of empathy and comfort.

Projects are interfaced to the reflections of some psychiatrists about questions divided into four main areas relating to:

• Philosophy of the threshold between architecture and psychiatry
• Threshold between interior quality and care of the sick
• The urban threshold
• The threshold with the society

The construction of the new Museum of Modern Art in Muggia, an Istrian-Venetian town in the south of Trieste, is an interesting new element within the reference area.

The idea is born as a result of the donation by the artist Ugo Carà (1908 – 2004) for the Municipality of Muggia: he gives part of his works, on condition that they find space in a new suitable building; the designers take advantage of the availability of the Master for consultations on the design, during which Carà gives accurate indications.

After a strict analysis of the context, the project develops considering the diversified and complex environment and the public and collective role of a museum, following four guidelines:

• respect for the place
• flexible use
• study of exhibition paths
• proper use of natural and artificial light

Watchmaker’s Museum – re-use of “Ex palazzo frazionale”, Pesariis – Prato Carnico (FVG)

Authorisational planning

The building dating back to 1943, which expected to be recovered, is present as a completely alien body referring to the urban fabric of the fraction of Pesariis, regarding the morphology, the building type, the scale and the architectural language, in clear contrast to the traditional architecture of that context.

The city council was pushed to intervene on this building by the idea to realize here the Watchmaker’s Museum, a continuation of the exhibition that has been realized along the streets of Pesariis in these years, as part of the project Pesariis: the country of watches.

The planning of the conservation and recovery of the building covers both the outer shell as well as the interior spaces, following a deep insight in order to remember and respect the fundamental elements of the building built by the Community of Pesariis.
