00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,I'm living in the airplane.

00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,- In the airplane? - Yes.

00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,I take an airplane an average of about fifteen times a month.

00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:53,The site was kind of small forest,

00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,and I decide not to cut any tree to put this building,

00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,so I look for some special...

00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,structure grid system.

00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,Normally, structure grid

00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,is square or rectangular,

00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:13,but I found out the triangular grid,

00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,which gives me more freedom to decide

00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,which...

00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,space I can leave to the trees and also to the roots under the ground.

00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,Because if we have a square grid, the corner...

00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,There is a four beams meeting,

00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,and we can eliminate only one,

00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,we need other three beams supporting the one column

00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,to stay up right.

00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,But if we make this triangular grid,

00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,there are six beams meeting in one point,

00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,so up to three beams I can eliminate,

00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,if we have a tree or a root is there.

00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,This is the smaller apartment I can afford.

00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,But still it has the better view of the trees outside.

00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,This is my lifestyle,

00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,I don't want to be surrounded by things.

00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,I always want to design something particular for a particular site,

00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,so this solution cannot be applied for anywhere else.

00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,I'm not interested in owning the things,

00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,the house is one of the things.

00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,I'm not interested in owning things.

00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,The all of them are prototypes,

00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,so when I design prototypes I try to use them by myself.

00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,Terragni is one of my favorite architects.

00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,Also this Cantilever chair was really innovative,

00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,so that's why a bought it.

00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,Actually I was very interested in his buildings when I was younger,

00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,because he is using geometry

00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,very cleverly and also clearly.

00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,My favorite project was the Danteum,

00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,which was not built.

00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,I analyzed this building, and so I was very interested

00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,to study how he controlled the geometry.

00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,I respect the most Castiglioni,

00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,he's my favorite designer.

00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,So there are great designers that made great furniture.

00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,Light and shadow are the most important of any architecture for me.

00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,And also the cross ventilation is very important

00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,for residential projects.

00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,I'm not interested in eco-things,

00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,it is a fashion, it's a commercial thing,

00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,nobody really understand what it's eco,

00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,and just people use this without really thinking the meaning.

00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,I'm more interested in the materials,

00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,structure and also the particular context,

00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:55,to take advantage of.

00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,Anything can be a part of architecture,

00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,and the paper is one of them.

00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,This is your prejudice about paper,

00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,you think paper it's something unusual but it's not, anything can be part of a building.

00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,I just want to choose the appropriate materials for the appropriate use and function.

00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,For the temporary structure, but it can be permanent,

00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,and also for some affordable housing,

00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,temporary housing after a disaster,

00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,but also this can be permanent, the building material also.

00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,I was quite disappointed about the profession of architects,

00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:03,because I saw that today we can work more for the general public or the society,

00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,but I knew it, we are mostly working for privileged people,

00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,because they have money and power, which is invisible,

00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,that's why they hire architects,

00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,to visualize their power and money with monumental architecture.

00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,And also I still want to design these monuments,

00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,but I was also tired of just working for privileged people.

00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,That's why I started doing the pro bono project

00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,and dedicating my own energy doing this Disaster Relief project,

00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,in order to make my mental balance.

00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,I wanted to be a carpenter, when I was very small,

00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,I was very interested in making things out of wood, I love wood.

00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,Then I was able

00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,to take some class in the school,

00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,teaching how to design a building very simple, very basic studies,

00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,and I was very good to this,

00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,so that's why I decided to be an architect.

00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,I don't get inspiration, but I respect so much like Issey Miyake,

00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,he's also designing from the system.

00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,Not just the decoration,

00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,but he created a new concept as a fashion designer,

00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,so I respect him so much.

00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,And also do you still remember Kuramata?

00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,Shiro Kuramata, I respect him so much also,

00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,he also...

00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,created a new meaning of the materials also,

00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,using some existent material differently.

00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,I'd like to keep designing houses

00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,until the end of my career.

00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,Many architects after they became very famous and they get big projects,

00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,they stop doing housing or also many of the people

00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:23,also like to do bigger projects.

00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,But the architects that I really respect, Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Alvar Aalto,

00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,they kept designing the houses until they die,

00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,that's my hope.

00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,Because it's important for me to keep training myself.

00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,Designing houses is the most typical project as architect,

00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,as a program of a building.

00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,That's what I've seen in those kinds of wonderful great architects

00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,that kept design houses.

00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,Thank you so much.

00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:46,Milan is a city with a Center, Piazza del Duomo, and a ring of canals, the Navigli,

00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,and between them the historic city.

00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:51,Then there's the city that grew up in the last century,

00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:54,but it too has its own distinctive character,

00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:57,with the rays that head outwards and the old gates.

00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:02,The city is always very present in my mind, it affects how I feel when in Milan.

00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,Milan is a city that offers you opportunities:

00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:11,you live in a historic city,

00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,with plentiful evidence of its embedded past and values.

00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,It may not have the dazzling beauty of - say - Rome, Florence or Venice,

00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,but it has a particular beauty of its own, this ‘Milanese-Ness'.

00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,I have always lived in Milan,

00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,and when I think about this I realize that,

00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,even if I've changed house several times,

00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,I have remained a city-dweller, mentally:

00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,living in Milan you end up with an urban culture.

00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,I have never thought of being able

00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,to design and build myself a house here, it's just not an option:

00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,a city...
