Costruire l’architettura – Adolfo Natalini \u201cQuaderni olandesi\u201d<\/h1>\n

Adolfo Natalini
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Vive a Firenze fin da studente, pi\u00f9 in studio che in casa, non \u00e8 mai emigrato. Viaggia, certo, e molto, come chi \u00e8 curioso. Ma le sue architetture hanno trovato patria elettiva nei Paesi Bassi. Adolfo Natalini ne ha esplorato paesaggi, citt\u00e0, palazzi, fino a sentirsi erede di Ludovico Guicciardini, che cinque secoli fa ebbe un\u2019analoga attrazione per quei paesi, lasciandocene una minuta descrizione.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ma qui pare che sia piuttosto l\u2019Olanda ad essere stata conquistata dall\u2019architettura di Natalini. Dapprima, con altri e come altri, ha dovuto compiere l\u2019opera di demolizione della modernit\u00e0. La modernit\u00e0 che intendeva dettar legge e gi\u00e0 per questo reclamava una radicale rivoluzione. Un classico parricidio, che riconosce il ruolo genitoriale e insieme la necessit\u00e0 di oltrepassarlo spedendolo nel passato. Per poi riconquistare l\u2019architettura, che Natalini stesso ama chiamare \u201cnormale\u201d, pi\u00f9 che \u201ctradizionale\u201d, ossia ci\u00f2 che del passato, dei padri pi\u00f9 lontani, in altre parole del \u201cpatrimonio\u201d, \u00e8 traducibile in ogni tempo.<\/span><\/p>\n

La cultura architettonica olandese, sembra aver compiuto, anche con l\u2019opera di Natalini, il medesimo percorso. Mentre le mirabolanti e soprendenti provocazioni di Superstudio vanno viaggiando in mostre e depositandosi in musei nei vari angoli del mondo. Sono adesso oggetto mitologico, come ogni altra cosa che il culto del patriminio del nostro tempo trasforma in traccia mnemonica. L\u2019architettura \u201cnormale\u201d dona l\u2019abitare quaotidiano e vive la sua vita serena in Olanda e altrove. Quella \u201cradicale\u201d di quarant\u2019anni fa \u00e8 gi\u00e0 monumento di s\u00e9<\/a> stessa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building the architecture – Adolfo Natalini \u201cDutch notebooks\u201d<\/h1>\n

Adolfo Natalini<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He has lived in Florence since he was a student, spending more time in the studio than at home. He never emigrated. Of course he travels \u2014\u00a0and a lot \u2014 as a curious person. But his architecture has found its adoptive country in the Netherlands. Adolfo Natalini has explored its landscapes, cities, and buildings, making him seem like an heir to Ludovico Guicciardini, who five hundred years earlier had felt a similar pull to these lands and left behind a meticulous description of them.<\/p>\n

But, in this case, it seems that it is actually the Netherlands that was conquered by Natalini’s architecture. First \u2014\u00a0with others and like others \u2014\u00a0he had to demolish modernity. Modernity wanted to set the law and for that it was asking for a radical revolution. It was a classic case of patricide, understanding its role as a forefather, along with the need to go beyond it and put it into the past. To then go on and regain architecture that Natalini likes to call “normal,” rather than “traditional,” that which is of the past, of distant forebears, in other words part of the “heritage,” can be translated into any time.<\/p>\n

Dutch architectural culture seems to have taken the same path, including through Natalini’s work. While Superstudio’s incredible, astonishing provocations travel in exhibitions and have settled in museums in all corners of the world, they have become mythological, like everything that our era’s cult of heritage turns into a mark of memory. “Normal” architecture gives the gift of everyday dwellings and spends its life quietly in the Netherlands and elsewhere. That “radical” architecture of forty years ago is already a monument to itself.<\/p>\n
