In sintonia con le cose, ritrovare lo spazio delle "antiche" reliquie di Saturo, Taranto

When rst Spartans came on the coast of Jonio (Jonian Sea) - according to the words of the Oracle of Delphi - they found out one of the most signi cant landscape of the whole coast. This scenic place has grown up on an ongoing basis with the overwrite of his elements, which has been concluded during the Second World War with the built of a bunker close to the sea. All of these elements however, synthesize in the important Roman Domus (I secolo b.C.-VI secolo a.C.), are linked to the sea by a single way which split in 2 areas the domus, on one side the thermal baths and on the other one the living area (pars urbana). The domus - recovering some concepts that has been declined several years later by the well known architect Le Courbusier - seems to take the concepts of “machine à voier”, meaning that the house is designed only to look at the insistent Mediterranean horizon. Anyway, although the charm with which this building have been conceived, by composing the living space with the perimetral walls that raise up on magni cent mosaics, the area seems to be forgotten. iIt seems in need of a deep rewrite which preserves the “relics” of the past and take the attention of the visitors back to the sea that keeps resounding between the large quarries from which the building material was gouged. The text composed by a rst part that resume a short research essay/excursus about the ruins’s value and then the it continues with the description of the architectural design project.
