The project aim is clear: to educate people about the scientific aspects of art and the artistic intuition of science, bringing out their affinities in a perspective of implementation of creative thinking. What color is a borderline? is the question posed by diverserighestudio, in order to grasp the architectural solutions that might make it possible to think of the "threshold" as a system of transcendence.
Architecture can thus imply the creation of the boundary, the design of the border. That border has the characteristic of welcoming movement, of sharpening or erasing differences. It can be rigid or elastic at the same time. The traces of life gather on it and dissolve. It permits microscopic reading of signs and, at the same time, comprehension of universal systems. The impossibility of its determination implies the highest degree of freedom that can be assigned to a contemporary "architectural frontier."
The Opificio is seen in terms of a citadel metaphor in which all the activities take on the form of ideal containers, icons of symbolic places in our urban environment, like the City Hall, the School, the Worksite that represents the ongoing work required by a City for its life. Then there is public space, ready to host multiple activities and functions, to sustain social life by means of shared services. The result is an architecture with an intimate dimension, connected with the study and work that happen inside the ideal containers, and a relational system positioned at the connections of the activities.
This character of openness had led to the design of a space with a local exterior, renovating an existing industrial building that is contextualized, and a global interior, interconnected with the world through open work modes, built according to three generating principles with which to contribute to encourage study and experimentation.
