Carlo Mollino: arredi Albonico | Electa | 2021

14 Luglio 2022

Gli arredi per l’ingegnere Paolo Albonico, una serie in legno per la sala e il soggiorno della nuova casa dell’ingegnere progettata da Carlo Mollino tra 1940 e 1944, sono al centro di una mostra allestita presso Triennale Milano dal 4 settembre al 7 novembre 2021. La mostra è accompagnata dalla rilettura della sua opera affidata ai contributi del libro catalogo in cui il saggio “Gli arredi per Paolo Albonico” ne ricostruisce la vicenda progettuale e la inserisce all’interno di una poco studiata storia familiare e di una celebratissima attività di progettazione di interni e di mobili, contestualizzandola e mettendola in nuova luce.

Il progetto “Casermette Social Park” prevede la realizzazione a Rivalta di Torino di un parco di circa 2.500 mq con spazi per la socialità e l’incontro, declinati in diverse forme e funzioni. Il progetto è finanziato dal Bando Restauro Ambientale Sostenibile della Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo ed è il primo tassello di un più ampio programma di riqualificazione ambientale che il Comune di Rivalta sta portando avanti  a sud del Sangone, tra le frazioni di Tetti Francesi e di Gerbole, sull’area degli ex depositi militari di artiglieria, 106 mila quadri tra gli stabilimenti Avio e Fiat, oggetto di un piano particolareggiato.

Il progetto è stato inaugurato nel maggio 2021, con la realizzazione  dell’opera dell’urban artist Run, che con rulli e vernici ecologiche, ha dato nuova vita alla torretta posta sull’ingresso del parco delle Casermette.

I soggetti proponenti oltre al compendi Rivalta sono Fondazione Fitzcarraldo (www.fitzcarraldo.it), Cooperativa Atypica (www.atypica.it), Museo di Arte Urbana di Torino (www.museoarteurbana.it) e Associazione culturale LandscapeFor (www.landscapefor.eu).  Sono partner del progetto anche l’Accademia Albertina di belle arti di Torino e l’Istituto Scolastico Comprensivo di Tetti Francesi.

Urban Lab | Architettura contemporanea a Torino : 111 podcasts | 2021

9 Giugno 2021

Comunicarch ha scritto  i 111 podcast in italiano e inglese della nuova mappa dell’architettura contemporanea a Torino realizzata da Urban Lab Torino con la collaborazione di Ordine degli Architetti PPC di Torino, Fondazione per l’Architettura e IN/Arch Piemonte.

Sono 111 le architetture selezionate per illustrare come sono cambiati l’architettura e lo spazio urbano torinese dalla metà degli anni ottanta. L’audioguida su podcast è disponibile sul canale Torino Contemporanea di Loquis, la prima piattaforma italiana di Local Audio, facilmente accessibile tramite QR code stampato sulla mappa.

Il taglio scelto privilegia le realizzazioni più recenti offrendo una visita aggiornata alla città che negli ultimi vent’anni ha costruito tantissimo e cambiato volto.

La mappa è ripartita in quadranti che suddividono Torino e i comuni confinanti per orientarsi tra centro e zone adiacenti via via fino alla prima cintura dell’area metropolitana: Chieri, Moncalieri, Collegno, Grugliasco, Venaria, San Mauro Torinese. Un ulteriore supporto alla consultazione della mappa è costituito dall’organizzazione di spazi e architetture secondo le funzioni prevalenti che questi ospitano: abitare, ufficio e commercio, cultura, spazio pubblico e servizi, formazione. 

Le opere sono state selezionate con la collaborazione di Ordine degli Architetti PPC, Fondazione per l’architettura e IN/Arch Piemonte, che da diversi anni premiano la produzione architettonica di qualità sul territorio torinese: per questo motivo tra gli interventi illustrati compaiono le “Architetture rivelate”, premio conferito dall’Ordine, e i Premi IN/Architettura 2020.

Comunicarch wrote the 111 podcasts in Italian and English of the new map of contemporary architecture in Turin created by Urban Lab Turin with the collaboration of the Chamber of Architects of Turin, the Foundation for Architecture and IN / Arch Piedmont.

111 architectures have been selected to illustrate how Turin’s architecture and urban space have changed since the mid-eighties. The podcast audio guide is available on Loquis’s Torino Contemporanea channel, the first Italian Local Audio platform, easily accessible via the QR code printed on the map.

The chosen cut favors the most recent creations, offering an updated visit to the city that has built a lot and changed its face in the last twenty years.

The map is divided into quadrants that divide Turin and the neighboring municipalities to orientate between the center and adjacent areas gradually up to the first belt of the metropolitan area: Chieri, Moncalieri, Collegno, Grugliasco, Venaria, San Mauro Torinese. Further support for consulting the map is the organization of spaces and architectures according to the main functions they host: living, office and commerce, culture, public space and services, training.

The works were selected with the collaboration of the Order of Architects PPC, the Foundation for architecture and IN / Arch Piemonte, which for several years have been rewarding quality architectural production in the Turin area: for this reason, the “Architetture rivelate ”, a prize awarded by the Chamber, and the IN / Architecture Awards 2020.

Carlo Mollino Designs | Quodlibet | 2020

10 Settembre 2020

Carlo Mollino (1905-1973), only son of Eugenio, an engineer, was born in Turin. In the early 1930s, Mollino started his professional activity, which was parallel, however, to the unique passions that contributed to his multifaceted and multidisciplinary fame. Indeed, while his work ranged from architecture to design, from interiors to artistic photography, he was also interested in acrobatic aviation, skiing, and auto racing. His very personal and celebrated idea of contemporary architecture developed between the capital of the Piedmont region and the Western Alps. For his interior designs Mollino borrowed from an assorted world of references, which became an integral part of his idea of domestic space.
Carlo Mollino Designs is a new reading of the work of the great architect and designer by way of unpublished archival documents and in light of the mediation that has been carried out by Zanotta since 1981, when the Fenis chair contributed to the growing interest in one of the liveliest and most versatile figures in modern architecture. The works produced by Zanotta described here cover a time frame of twenty-one years: from the projects for the Miller (1938), Minola (1944), and Orengo (1949) houses, all the way to the year 1959 and the Fenis alpine chair conceived for the Politecnico di Torino.

Carlo Mollino. L’arte di costruire in montagna: Casa Garelli – Champoluc | Electa | 2018

16 Gennaio 2019

Garelli House is the last private building designed by Carlo Mollino, erected between 1962 and 1965 in Champoluc (Aosta Valley).

The book, published by Electa in the Architetti e architetture series, is curated by Laura Milan and Sergio Pace who put together for the first time documents form the Archive, owned by the Politecnico di Torino, and from the Garelli family, who goes on living the house at the top of the Val d’Ayas, giving their interpretation of one of the most famous, but less studied, Alpine Architectures of Mollino.

The holiday home commissioned by the entrepreneur Felice Garelli, enthusiast supporter of the traditional Alpine architectures deeply studied by the young Mollino, is as a sort of “collage Dada” which moves, recovers and transforms the old Rascard Taleuc (erected in 1664 on the slope where the new house looks), and creates a fascinating new building that is able to reinterpret the Alpine tradition in a completely new, personal and not folkloristic way.

+ Studio Architetti|Bernini2: the book – Turin | 2018

4 Luglio 2018

In 2018 Filippo Orlando+Studio Architetti  with Mediapolis Engineering has completed the residential complex Bernini2. La Villa e la Torre in Turin and decided to publish a book to to tell the story of this interesting project. We have been in charge of all the texts, the graphic design has been signed by Quattrolinee and the pictures have been shot by Fabio Oggero and Mario Forcherio.

A stone’s throw from the center of Turin, between Corso Tassoni and the homonymous square along the baroque axis of Corso Francia, the new complex Bernini2 develops an innovative idea of residential architecture.  The intervention, commissioned by the Aurelia company and marketed by Investitalia, is a new and modern complex of 28 high quality apartments that are organized in two distinct but strongly interconnected elements: the Villa, which transforms the elegant building that in the fifties brought in Turin the refined reflections on living by Mario Asnago and Claudio Vender, and the nine floors of the Tower that rises slanted on Corso Tassoni with studied and always different fronts. Bernini2 is the result of a long reasoning that has solved the problems of a corner lot in a brilliant way, transforming them into the peculiar characteristics of an architecture that has succeeded in establishing constructive dialogue with the past, mediating between intervention scales and building typologies. very different from each other.
