Today's world is different to yesterdays. It may seem banal to say, but
it is not to those who live daily this fast transformation dictated by
progress finding they have to relate to an unrecognisable territory,
where the defined dichotomy between the metropolis and the countryside
doesn't exist any more.
However there exists a new spatial order,
where the fabric is no longer only a place of work but is "the first
place of dialogue with the community that companies come in contact
with" (Paolo Feltrini, architect).
The Region Veneto, distinct in its industrial history, fell necessary
to redefine places of production, modifying forms and roles, to enable
a change in their approach of the territory, both logistically and
structurally.
Continuing with the initiative begun in 2006, the
Region continued, in 2007, the analysis of the most significant events
of the last 10 years.
The 2007 Moleskine Notebook, personalised with
the Region logo, includes a volume listing the most important projects
that contributed in the remodelling of the landscape, both in terms of
productivity and urbanism that guaranteed a better quality of life.
A journey across designers that once again put in conflict
"yesterdays world" and the contemporary, with solutions that unite
functionality and aesthetic, creating new spaces a redefining the roles
of old buildings.
The architect Paola Pierotti illustrates some
examples "Structures tightly connected with internal activities, high
tech materials along side those closer to traditions, buildings parts
of the suburbs or just related to themselves".
"A retrospective
of projects as a challenge to the near future, hoping that the new
places of production can become a network able to bring quality and
wellness to the territory".
Paola Pierotti, architect
