Projet
AP148.S1.1967.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Poli's contribution to the competition entry for the restoration of a 16th century fort in Florence, the Fortezza da Bassa and its transformation into a National Centre for Arts and Crafts. This competition design was a Superstudio project led by Adolfo Natalini, reflecting the group's interest at the time in architecture on a "monumental' scale" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 100). Project material consists of study sketches in coloured pencil and graphite, many with annotations, and a page of typed notes, also with smaller sketches. Poli's sketches and notes seem to focus on designs for the entrance to the fort -- "ingresso alla Fortezza" -- and the movement of spectators into the fort. The typed notes and some sketches suggest the idea of a pinball machine with flippers and multi coloured lights lighting up a path.

L’architecte, autrement
Dès lors que l’architecture ait été réduite à un service de la société ou à une « industrie » dont la finalité est de construire, il y a toujours eut quelqu’un pour l’imaginer plutôt comme un champ de recherche intellectuelle : dynamique, critique et radical. À partir d’une série d’approches provenant de personnes, de périodes et d’endroits divers, l’architecte apparaît,(...)
