Notes
Opening video at Biennale di Pisa.
Conceptual and criticizing video had motivating purposes to start biennale discussions. How to expand ecologic and green architecture to other elements of nature such as water;
With hitting the idea "what dangers and possibilities water carries" we are introducing the main topic The time of water.
According to historical and physical fiction of Mediterranean city the story is based on cycles.
Before Pisa, there was no land, only water and air. Nature sought to ground the life and hills were born, ice melt and architecture rose from the seas. As water got endangered it took what it gave.
2000 years ago Pisa was a port on the Ligurian sea, today 20 km away from the coast. While some cities are moving deeper in the continent some other are sinking as Italian peninsula is rotating. Once again Pisa will be on the water.
