Spaziale Presenta: Uccellaccio - Ripa Teatina (Chieti), Abruzzo
Uccellaccio is the title of the fourth of nine site-specific interventions for “Spaziale presenta,” the preparatory component of “Spaziale: Everyone Belongs to Everyone Else,” the project by the collective #fosburyarchitecture (Giacomo Ardesio, Alessandro Bonizzoni, Nicola Campri, Veronica Caprino, and Claudia Mainardi) for the Italian Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La #biennaledivenezia, promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
This fourth intervention will take place in #ripateatina, in the province of Chieti in #abruzzo, and will involve the participation of the architecture collective #hpo (Alessandro Argentesi, Luca Cei, Mara Femia, Filippo Ferraro, Gregorio Giannini, Gabriele Giau, Giulio Marchetti, Oreste Montinaro, Dario Rizzi, Riccardo Simioni, and Giorgio Scanelli) as the designer, and writer #claudiadurastanti as advisor. The incubators of the project will be MAXXI L’Aquila and the Municipality of #ripateatina.
It was 1973 in #ripateatina, a town in the #abruzzo hinterlands with a population of 4,000, when the foundation stone was laid for a structure that remains unfinished to this day. After fifty years and numerous attempts at completion that alternated with threats of demolition, this abandoned building remains a presence, for its community, as disregarded as it is intrusive.
Through a perspective of pacification and unveiling, the project is proposed as an opportunity to imagine a new process of participatory reactivation, capable of taming the “eco-monster” that has so marked life in this territory.
“In architecture, there is no positive counterpart to building. Demolition is not a process in itself, but only the inescapable conclusion of a parabola,” declare the curators, #fosburyarchitecture.
“We believe that through deconstruction and selective disassembly, a future of sustainable regeneration, even in economic terms, can be cultivated.”
In its breadth, the project for the Italian Pavilion is founded on Fosbury Architecture's vision that
architecture is a research practice beyond the construction of buildings and that design is always the result of collective and collaborative work that goes beyond the idea of the architect-author. According to this vision, “space” is understood as a physical and symbolic place, a geographical area and abstract dimension, a system of known references and a territory of possibilities.
In the period from January to April, leading up to the opening of the #biennalearchitettura2023, “Spaziale presenta” will see the activation of nine site-specific interventions in as many locations chosen throughout Italy.
“Spaziale: Everyone Belongs to Everyone Else,” in the Italian Pavilion from May 20 to November 26, 2023, will be the formal and theoretical synthesis of the processes triggered in the nine regions in the previous months, providing a distinctive and original portrait of Italian architecture within the international context. The works in progress of “Spaziale presenta” and the activation of the nine interventions will be narrated step by step on the website www.spaziale2023.it and on the Instagram account @spaziale.presenta.
The curatorial project of the Italian Pavilion at the #biennalearchitettura2023 and all related details will be announced at a dedicated press conference (February/March 2023).
