Projet
AP148.S1.1996.PR01
Description:
Project series comprises preparatory studies and competition drawings for a redevelopment project in the historical centre of Pontassieve, outside Florence, Italy, and particularly the area around its piazza Vittorio Emanuele. Material in this project series is dated 1996. Alessandro Poli was the project group leader, and collaborated with architect Giannantonio Vannetti, landscape architects Mariella Sgaravatti and Elena Morici, artist Hidetoshi Nagasawa, artistic heritage expert Guiliano Gori, and art historian and critic Lara Vinca Masini. It is unclear whether the project was successful. The studies and project drawings emphasize the teardrop shape of the piazza. Project materials feature sketches and painted studies, including two with cotton materials, as well as presentation drawings and collages, including a large photograph of the site.

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.
