Stones and Bridges "
Referring to lezione5 -" Catalyst ", and especially the idea of \u200b\u200bArchitecture" Renaissance ", and then "A. type "and" closed city ", I thought the irony and the similarity that I found remembering when the Marco Polo, I. Calvin in the book Invisible Cities, Kublai Khan addressing explains what a bridge .. :

Kublai Khan was silent, thinking. Then he adds:
- Why tell me about the stones? It 's just the arch that matters to me.
Polo replies:
- Without stones there is no arch. "
I believe that this small part of the book can best summarize or reflected (for other aspects as a tool in architecture, for example, etc. ..) in the part of today's lesson on "parallelism" between architecture "Renaissance" and "industrial", and so the idea of \u200b\u200b"static" and "dynamic" of building "continue" and "discontinuous" and "perspective" and "transparency" ..
professor So today we straconvinti that a bridge can be built without stones, and that his aesthetic is directed to its transparency and its elasticity, and that its architecture is moving to that point .. it may be to overcome the "crisis" would be like a pass-through "empty", which is born from the idea that one has of his Building A. Type ", if not impossible, and then designing a bridge .. ?!!.. new or find a new way ?!!..

Interesting, one must also think that Calvin, as analytical writing, accurately so clear! For him it is not inconceivable from brick! The Polo_Calvino has no other answer practicable.
