Fragments of constructions

Constructing a building necessitates making, contriving, composing, ordering and structuring a combination of various parts that have different premises, so they are appropriately placed in a proper relationship with each other. But it also means constructing a point of view about our discipline and its history by using the premises of the design and, thereby, saying something about our collective and subjective reality.This series aims at setting apart only one particular aspect of each construction, not to plead the cause of fragmentation as a compositional principle but to corroborate, running through several chapters, a kind of mimesis of a single narration.Gregotti Associati International, founded in 1974, extends its activity over a vast number of fields with large-scale architectural designing and general and detailed city planning mostly commissioned by public administrations, as well as the designing of interiors, furnishings, graphic design, image co-ordination, ship outfitting and design commissioned by private parties and industrial companies.
