  • BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo
    BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo Grieco Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata / University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy Abstract After World War II, the inflexibility characterizing the first CIAM congresses soon become unsustainable, provoking the criticism of Team 10, active from 1953 for a reform of the congress. The participated discourse of the group, “considering the characteristics of society and individuals”, would be inherited, years later, by the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD), founded by Giancarlo De Carlo in 1976. The laboratory, together with the magazine Spazio e Società (1978-2001), called back to De Carlo’s operative militancy in Team 10, expressing a brand-new approach to urban studies. As De Carlo himself affirmed: “Some messages of Team 10 have been gathered in ILAUD […] but ILAUD and Team 10 are different things”. Indeed, the laboratory strongly pushed on the dimension of the project and on the students’ collective contribution. The project was no more an end point but became the tool through which every possible solution to the problem could be tested. Courses at ILAUD were given by international professionals like Aldo Van Eyck, Peter Smithson, Renzo Piano, Sverre Fehn and Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi, some already in Team 10. The laboratory formed many young students, and several would have become internationally-recognized professionals -e.g. Eric Miralles, Carme Pinos, Santiago Calatrava, Mario Cucinella-. The paper wants to consider the contribution of ILAUD to urban studies and didactics through the examination of the rich material (annual publications, posters, projects, photos, etc.) collected in the archive of the Biblioteca Poletti in Modena.

  • Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo's Participatory Design Approach
    heritage Article Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo’s Participatory Design Approach: From the Representation of Designers to the Representation of Users Marianna Charitonidou 1,2,3 1 Department of Architecture, Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (GTA), ETH Zurich, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, CH 8093 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece 3 Faculty of Art History and Theory, Athens School of Fine Arts, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece Abstract: The article examines the principles of Giancarlo De Carlo’s design approach. It pays special attention to his critique of the modernist functionalist logic, which was based on a simplified understanding of users. De Carlo0s participatory design approach was related to his intention to replace of the linear design process characterising the modernist approaches with a non-hierarchical model. Such a non-hierarchical model was applied to the design of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti in Terni among other projects. A characteristic of the design approach applied in the case of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti is the attention paid to the role of inhabitants during the different phases of the design process. The article explores how De Carlo’s “participatory design” criticised the functionalist approaches of pre-war modernist architects. It analyses De Carlo’s theory and describes how it was made manifest in his architectural practice—particularly in the design for the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti and the master plan for Urbino—in his teaching and exhibition activities, and in the manner his buildings were photographs and represented through drawings and sketches.

The approach is called utopia-driven projective research and is the result of a process of reflection on a number of conceptual design projects the author participated in. The research builds on the idea of 'theory- through-design' and shows how the projects are brought into interaction with theoretical frameworks that serve as another kind of design perspectives. Through the process of abstraction and extraction that is thus set in place, the core elements, both on the level of the subject-matter and on the level of the design approach, were distilled from the projects and developed into a research topic and research approach. The development of utopia-driven projective research must be seen against the backdrop of the general condition of unsettlement our society finds itself in – a condition that raises the issue of how to maintain the habitability of our world(s).

    The Plan Journal 5 (1): 261-278, 2020 doi: 10.15274/tpj.2020.05.01.2 Giancarlo De Carlo. A Symposium Sara Marini, Marko Pogacnik Conference Report / CRITICISM On December 10, 2019, a symposium on Giancarlo De Carlo (GDC) was held at IUAV [Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia, Venice, Italy], curated by the authors. The IUAV University, the Department of Architecture and Arts, the Archivio Progetti – holder of the impressive collection relating to De Carlo’s works – the research infrastructure of IR.IDE (of the IUAV Department of Project Cultures), and the Venice chapter of the professional association of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects, Preservationists of the Province of Venice collaborated to organize the meeting on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the important Italian architect. The symposium wanted to return to ongoing investigations into the work of GDC with the objective of opening up new research perspectives. De Carlo’s architecture is a multi-faceted field of work that offers today the possibility to reflect on the role of planners and on the tools at thier disposal to act in a deeply-changing reality. The ensemble of speeches went through the detailed framework of the methods used by a difficult-to-label author who intended to promote the project as a direct expression of an idea of society. The investigations into the correspondence of GDC, on the writings, preparatory and executed material in the IUAV Archivio Progetti and in other archives, the study of the references to the root of this thought, the direct or remote comparison, carried out through the architectures (also created with other authors), draw a wide field of research.
