Al contrario di quanto accadde con l’Unité d’habitation, di cui esistono cinque incarnazioni materiali tra la Francia e Berlino, veri e propri totem capaci di appiattire l’idea della residenza moderna sul loro stesso paradigma, il tipo dell’immeuble villa può oggi considerarsi una sorta di icona perduta della modernità. Un’icona perduta perché mai realizzata né da Corbu, né da altri dopo Corbu nella forma in cui egli l’aveva pensata. L’immeuble-villas produceva un disegno urbano di tipo tradizionale, per blocchi allungati. Si trattava di un modo di costruire la città antipolare a quello codificato come moderno. Un modo che da un lato intendeva confermare il blocco di case tipico del XIX secolo; dall’altro però intendeva stravolgerlo per via della messa in crisi del piano verticale come piano di delimitazione interno/esterno. Come sarebbe stato il nostro occhio sulla città moderna se il tipo dell’immeuble-villas avesse avuto maggior fortuna? Se cioè, al pari dell’Unité, fosse stato sperimentato e fosse da allora divenuto un modello ripetibile e declinabile? Infine, le ricerche progettuali contemporanee orientate al lavoro sulla porosità del blocco edilizio, discendono in linea genealogica dalle sperimentazioni corbusiane o discendono da un’attitudine più epidermica alla motilità delle scritture di facciata?

Abstract
Contrary to what happened with the Unitè d'habitation, that was built five times between the France and Berlin, the type of the immeuble-villas can be considered as a sort of lost icon of modernity. Lost because it has never been built by Corbu, nor by others after Corbu, in the form he had conceived it. The immeuble-villas produced a traditional urban design with urban huge blocks. It was a way of building the city antipolar to the urban ideas of modernity. So Immeuble-villas, on one hand, meant to confirm the typical block houses of the nineteenth century but, on the other hand, intended to overturn this model, weakening the vertical surfaces of the building, no more intended as a clear internal/external delimitation plan. How would our point of view on the modern city be, if the type of the immeuble-villas had had more luck? If, like the Unite, it had it been experimented and had become a repeatable and declinable model? Finally, the contemporary design researches oriented to work on the porosity of the building, descend from a genealogical line coming by corbusian experiments, or from an epidermal attitude to a language informed by the motility of the facade?File | Dimensione | Formato | |
