00:01:20,300 - In the airplane? - Yes. 5 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,520 I take an airplane an average of about fifteen times a month. 6 00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:53,580 The site was kind of small forest, 7 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,580 and I decide not to cut any tree to put this building, 8 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,300 so I look for some special... 9 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,780 structure grid system. 10 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,380 Normally, structure grid 11 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,280 is square or rectangular, 12 00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:13,460 but I found out the triangular grid, 13 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,460 which gives me more freedom to decide 14 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,200 which... 15 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,660 space I can leave to the trees and also to the roots under the ground. 16 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,780 Because if we have a square grid, the corner... 17 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,020 There is a four beams meeting, 18 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,020 and we can eliminate only one, 19 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,340 we need other three beams supporting the one column 20 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,900 to stay up right. 21 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,880 But if we make this triangular grid, 22 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,700 there are six beams meeting in one point, 23 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,700 so up to three beams I can eliminate, 24 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,640 if we have a tree or a root is there. 25 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,780 This is the smaller apartment I can afford. 26 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,760 But still it has the better view of the trees outside. 27 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,620 This is my lifestyle, 28 00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,720 I don't want to be surrounded by things. 29 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,540 I always want to design something particular for a particular site, 30 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,240 so this solution cannot be applied for anywhere else. 31 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,820 I'm not interested in owning the things, 32 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,940 the house is one of the things. 33 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,840 I'm not interested in owning things. 34 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,579 The all of them are prototypes, 35 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,320 so when I design prototypes I try to use them by myself. 36 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,020 Terragni is one of my favorite architects. 37 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,300 Also this Cantilever chair was really innovative, 38 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,500 so that's why a bought it. 39 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,940 Actually I was very interested in his buildings when I was younger, 40 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,700 because he is using geometry 41 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,820 very cleverly and also clearly. 42 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,900 My favorite project was the Danteum, 43 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,860 which was not built. 44 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,780 I analyzed this building, and so I was very interested 45 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,800 to study how he controlled the geometry. 46 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,060 I respect the most Castiglioni, 47 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240 he's my favorite designer. 48 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,040 So there are great designers that made great furniture. 49 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,000 Light and shadow are the most important of any architecture for me. 50 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,060 And also the cross ventilation is very important 51 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,080 for residential projects. 52 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,300 I'm not interested in eco-things, 53 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,420 it is a fashion, it's a commercial thing, 54 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,700 nobody really understand what it's eco, 55 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,620 and just people use this without really thinking the meaning. 56 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,420 I'm more interested in the materials, 57 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,040 structure and also the particular context, 58 00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:55,680 to take advantage of. 59 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,220 Anything can be a part of architecture, 60 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,540 and the paper is one of them. 61 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,860 This is your prejudice about paper, 62 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,480 you think paper it's something unusual but it's not, anything can be part of a building. 63 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,740 I just want to choose the appropriate materials for the appropriate use and function. 64 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,500 For the temporary structure, but it can be permanent, 65 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,820 and also for some affordable housing, 66 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,500 temporary housing after a disaster, 67 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,360 but also this can be permanent, the building material also. 68 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,260 I was quite disappointed about the profession of architects, 69 00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:03,620 because I saw that today we can work more for the general public or the society, 70 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,820 but I knew it, we are mostly working for privileged people, 71 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,580 because they have money and power, which is invisible, 72 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,500 that's why they hire architects, 73 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,580 to visualize their power and money with monumental architecture. 74 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,140 And also I still want to design these monuments, 75 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,900 but I was also tired of just working for privileged people. 76 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,820 That's why I started doing the pro bono project 77 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,940 and dedicating my own energy doing this Disaster Relief project, 78 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,320 in order to make my mental balance. 79 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,780 I wanted to be a carpenter, when I was very small, 80 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,659 I was very interested in making things out of wood, I love wood. 81 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,860 Then I was able 82 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,420 to take some class in the school, 83 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,740 teaching how to design a building very simple, very basic studies, 84 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,340 and I was very good to this, 85 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,960 so that's why I decided to be an architect. 86 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,340 I don't get inspiration, but I respect so much like Issey Miyake, 87 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,300 he's also designing from the system. 88 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,580 Not just the decoration, 89 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,500 but he created a new concept as a fashion designer, 90 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,980 so I respect him so much. 91 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,260 And also do you still remember Kuramata? 92 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,760 Shiro Kuramata, I respect him so much also, 93 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,880 he also... 94 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,980 created a new meaning of the materials also, 95 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,120 using some existent material differently. 96 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,440 I'd like to keep designing houses 97 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,220 until the end of my career. 98 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,180 Many architects after they became very famous and they get big projects, 99 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,040 they stop doing housing or also many of the people 100 00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:23,300 also like to do bigger projects. 101 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,380 But the architects that I really respect, Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, 102 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,500 they kept designing the houses until they die, 103 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,700 that's my hope. 104 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,920 Because it's important for me to keep training myself. 105 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,940 Designing houses is the most typical project as architect, 106 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,480 as a program of a building. 107 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,660 That's what I've seen in those kinds of wonderful great architects 108 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,000 that kept design houses. 109 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,760 Thank you so much. 110 00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:46,180 Milan is a city with a Center, Piazza del Duomo, and a ring of canals, the Navigli, 111 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,400 and between them the historic city. 112 00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:51,960 Then there's the city that grew up in the last century, 113 00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:54,320 but it too has its own distinctive character, 114 00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:57,800 with the rays that head outwards and the old gates. 115 00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:02,440 The city is always very present in my mind, it affects how I feel when in Milan. 116 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Milan is a city that offers you opportunities: 117 00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:11,380 you live in a historic city, 118 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,380 with plentiful evidence of its embedded past and values. 119 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,220 It may not have the dazzling beauty of - say - Rome, Florence or Venice, 120 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,160 but it has a particular beauty of its own, this ‘Milanese-Ness'. 121 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,620 I have always lived in Milan, 122 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,800 and when I think about this I realize that, 123 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,740 even if I've changed house several times, 124 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,820 I have remained a city-dweller, mentally: 125 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,420 living in Milan you end up with an urban culture. 126 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,500 I have never thought of being able 127 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,980 to design and build myself a house here, it's just not an option: 128 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,520 a city...
