The San Cataldo Metropolitan Cemetery, Aldo Rossi, 1971, Modena

THE OSSUARY AT SAN CATALDO CEMETERY (2020)

An eloquent and nicely-made amateur video which briefly introduces us to this building. Rossi was a highly influential theorist as well as practicing architect, and both his ideas, and this project, are considered formative works of post-modernism,  although he resisted being labelled as part of that movement. There’s an interesting piece by Failed Architecture which takes a contrary view to that in the video - exploring the ways the Ossuary embodies some of the failings of post-modernism.

I dissuasori attivi Lybra si presentano alla prova della strada: presto saranno realtà a Concorezzo Nell’ambito delle numerose ricerche che l’Associazione Giga no Profit effettua continuamente nei tanti ambiti della ricerca e innovazione sull’ampio fronte della sostenibilità e delle energie pulite, fa sempre un gran piacere vedere prodotti di startup italiane che, dopo un periodo di rodaggio controllato, si presentano finalmente al battesimo, in questo caso “della strada”.

Andrea Pirisi (b. 1971, Mantova, Italy)

La Crocetta

La Crocetta is the first workers district of Modena. A district of unused buildings that do not speak of their story, nor that of the neighborhood. The presence of these industrial settlements was largely connected to the residential areas that hosted the houses for the workers. The abandonment of the production cycle has in fact changed the face of the area and its relationship with the rest of the city. This is why I believe it is important to preserve the historical memories of these place which involves an important segment of the city and its development. Today the old roads, the railway ramifications, the “connective tissue” of the area are dismissed, and nature is slowly taking over.
