Set-up of the Cathedral Bell Tower of Lucca

All the set-up structures are made of cor-ten, in order to blend the new addition with the context, the Cathedral of San Martino, one of the most important examples of romanesque style in the world.

Set-up of the Cathedral Bell Tower of Lucca

L’allestimento del percorso turistico è composto da pannelli panoramici fissati alle strutture preesistenti, la cui forma è ispirata a quella del leggio di un pulpito, tutte posizionate al livello delle campane, da un alto totem che avvolge un pannello informativo e da prismi appoggiati sulle mensole.

Tuscanyness: a documentary on Tuscan Architecture (120g)

We’ve been part of this project as members of the cultural association 120g.

Today the Italian architecture scene is getting dramatic: decline of suburbs, abandoned buildings, property speculation; in this context the architects are no longer a cultural landmark and a lot of young architects have to emigrate abroad.
Indeed, many centuries ago, in Tuscany, after a long period of deep darkness, few enlightened men gave to the world the formula for a cultural rebirth built around the mankind.

YEAR

2015–2018

TYPE

Audiovisual, Research

Even if those times are passed, can the spirit of Brunelleschi and Michelangelo be connected to the spirit of people nowadays?

Tuscanyness is a movie that tells how this spirit of rebirth is still alive through the works and the words of architects both born and educated in the cultural atmosphere of Tuscany. In this enchanting Italian region the beauty is still a civil value, where is possible to establish a deep alliance with nature, or where is possible to live the unique opportunity to listen to the teachings of the past.

Centuries ago, during the Humanism period, some enlightened clients believed in the talent of few young architects and started an extraordinary season for the civilization. Do this kind of clients still exist today?
