Un trittico<\/b><b>\u201d<\/b><\/h1>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Franz Prati<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ricordate il platonico mito della caverna? Ci\u00f2 che gli uomini sperimentano, come prigionieri incatenati piedi e testa, impossibilitati a voltarsi e alzarsi, sono solo ombre, proiezione delle cose reali alle loro spalle, fuori dalla caverna, illuminate da potentissima luce, eterna origine di tutto. Liberare il prigioniero dalle catene, convertirlo alla verit\u00e0 delle cose aldil\u00e0 delle loro ombre, condurne la mente a vedere l\u2019originario, l\u2019Arch\u00e9, \u00e8 compito della filosofia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Senonch\u00e9, due millenni e mezzo di filosofare hanno messo in luce l\u2019impossibilit\u00e0 di ogni arch\u00e8 (dunque anche del senso originario alla radice della parola \u201c<i>archi<\/i>tettura\u201d), ossia di ogni creazione e distruzione che abbia una causa ultima fuori dal tempo, fuori dalla \u201ccaverna\u201d platonica.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Alla luce del pensiero contemporaneo, \u00abl\u2019archeologia del presente\u00bb, tema centrale dell\u2019affascinante incontro con Franz Prati, la si pu\u00f2 intendere come ci\u00f2 che resta dell\u2019antico senso dell\u2019arch\u00e8 e insieme della sua caduta, un grandioso rudere. Siamo immersi in un \u00abpaesaggio di frammenti\u00bb, resti, tracce del passato. Un passato che adesso non ha pi\u00f9 il senso ultimo dell\u2019eterno, interamente dato una volta per tutte, unificazione negante ogni frammentazione, ma quello dell\u2019umana produzione e della sua casualit\u00e0. La \u201ccaverna\u201d, ci\u00f2 che sperimentiamo e siamo capaci di creare, \u00e8 l\u2019unica realt\u00e0, niente sta alle spalle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tuttavia, centrale nella poetica di Franz Prati \u00e8 l\u2019immagine dello \u00abscoglio\u00bb. Ricorre in ogni opera come fosse il suo scoglio. \u00c8 ci\u00f2 in cui ci s\u2019incaglia, insormontabile, inflessibile, come l\u2019Arch\u00e9, non \u00e8 prodotto ed \u00e8 immodificabile. D\u00e0 il senso proprio del residuo dell\u2019antico in cui ci s\u2019imbatte nel presente. Il passato, infatti, anche quando pensato solo come prodotto (e non un eterno arch\u00e8) essendo ci\u00f2 che non \u00e8 pi\u00f9, risulta immodificabile: non si pu\u00f2 agire su ci\u00f2 che non esiste pi\u00f9. Non solo. Si presenta, insieme, come sviluppo, concatenazione di cause da cui finisce per dipendere totalmente il presente, negando la nostra evidente capacit\u00e0 creativa. \u00c8 questa una delle pi\u00f9 intricanti situazioni aporetiche del pensiero contemporaneo pur liberato dal senso antico degli immutabili.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ma dall\u2019altro lato viene in luce che le cose presenti siano traccia di un determinato passato \u00e8 un\u2019interpretazione, una nostra produzione, una <i>poiesis<\/i>. Nelle esplorazioni che compie nel \u00abpaesaggio di frammenti\u00bb, nella sua ricerca della \u00abarcheologia del presente\u00bb, Franz Prati si fa \u2013 non a caso \u2013 accompagnare da \u00abviaggiatori poeti\u00bb. Riconoscere che i resti dell\u2019antico siano \u00abscogli\u00bb e insieme cose vive e presenti, tanto da apparire prima scultura di figure umane e poi veri e propri personaggi che animano lo scenario in cui viviamo, \u00e8 gi\u00e0 un dominare lo scoglio, un farlo protagonista di progettualit\u00e0, e dunque un convertirne l\u2019apparente inflessibilit\u00e0 nel suo opposto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Francesco Ventura<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Friday\u00a0&#8211; may 15th 2015 &#8211; 17.30 pm<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em>Building the architecture:\u00a0<b>\u201c<\/b>Mediterranean triptych<b>\u201d<\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><em>Franz Prati<\/em><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Remember Plato&#8217;s myth of the cave? What humans perceive, as prisoners with their feet and head chained, unable to turn around or get up, are only shadows, the projection of the real things behind them, outside of the cave, lit by a powerful light \u2014 the eternal source of everything. The duty of philosophy is to free prisoners from their chains, turning them to the truth of things beyond their shadows, leading their mind to see the origin, the Arch\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nonetheless, two and half thousand years of philosophizing have brought to light the impossibility of any Arch\u00e9 (including in the original meaning of the root of the word &#8220;<i>archi<\/i>tecture&#8221;), i.e. every creation and destruction that has an ultimate cause outside of time, outside of Plato&#8217;s &#8220;cave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In light of contemporary thought, the &#8220;archeology of the present,&#8221; was the focus of Franz Prati&#8217;s fascinating talk, showing how that which is left of the old meaning of Arch\u00e8 as well as its collapse, is a magnificent ruin. We are immersed in a &#8220;landscape of fragments,&#8221; remnants, traces of the past. The past no longer has the ultimate meaning of the eternal, given fully once and for all, unification against all fragmentation. Instead it is a past of human production and its randomness. The &#8220;cave&#8221; \u2014 that which we perceive and we are able to create, is the only reality \u2014\u00a0there is nothing behind us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nonetheless, the image of the &#8220;cliff&#8221; is central to Franz Prati&#8217;s poetics. It recurs in every work as if it where his stumbling block. This is the thing on which we run aground, insurmountable, inflexible, and like Arch\u00e9, it is\u00a0not produced and unchangeable. It gives the sense of that which is left of the old and which we come against in the present. The past \u2014\u00a0even when considered only as a product (rather than an eternal Arch\u00e8) \u2014 because it is that which no longer is, is unchangeable; we cannot act on what no longer exists. And beyond that, it also presents itself as a development, a chain of causes from which the present depends completely, denying our evident creative capacity. This is among the most confounding, impassable situations in contemporary thought, though free from the old sense of being immutable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yet, on the other hand, it brings to light that present things are traces of a specific past, an interpretation, something we produced, a <i>poesis<\/i>. In Franz Prati&#8217;s explorations in the &#8220;landscape of fragments,&#8221; in his study of the archeology of the present,&#8221; he \u2014 not incidentally \u2014\u00a0takes along &#8220;poetic travelers.&#8221; Recognizing that what is left of the old are &#8220;stumbling blocks&#8221; as well as living, present things, seeming first to be sculptures of human figures and then real characters that enliven the settings of our lives, means already having surpassed the block and made it a key part of the design approach, and therefore convert its apparent inflexibility into its opposite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><strong>Francesco Ventura<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costruire l&#8217;architettura: Franz Prati \u201cMediterranee.
