Minneapolis, MN, United States

In this conference in Florence there was also

Gianni Pettena, an old chap always witty and

smart. Once home I went to check his webpage.He is very organized and you can find all the

project he did through his life. The ice house is

the one I appreciate the most. 40 years ago, but it

could have been done yesterday.Bravo Pettena!

Avenida Rui Barbosa

Some days ago I had dinner with Marco Zanini,

Santi Caleca and other friends. I haven't met

Marco since years, well, since he left for thePanamese jungle around 2002, 2003

Now he lives in Brazil, he built a beautiful house

for his girl and his daughter and he is truly happy

and in good mood (very strange, indeed...).

Anyway, to show me the big thing he did in the

Panamese island (the Liquid Jungle Lab) as well as

his house, we went to see his website (I didn't

know he had one). Lots of nice things there (sorare to have an architect doing a nice website).

Back home some days later I went back to see it

all and I discovered these images from a lost

exhibition in 1992.

A great concept. Marco had envisioned what to

Now, I know who did this

painting...

The Golgi City (as Imagined

by Fumihiko Maki)

do, then he found a painter (Luciano Paccagnella)

who did the manual part of the job. Really nice

stuff.

Between the others also this image here above. I

had seen it before, I loved it, I slipped into one of

my folders but I didn't know who did it and when

and why and all these things. Now i know, and this

gets me in very good mood.

Here the link to see all the images of the series:

I am not so fond of Maki's works, but this

conceptual project is really strong. Out of the

various visions by the Metabolist people, this one

is one of the most convincing (very sci-fi, indeed).

The Housing with Walls

Project

At this Metabolist exhibition, there was another

very nice project by Fumihiko Maki: The Housing

with Walls (year unknown). I couldn't find much

information about it, but the image is very

inspiring (at least to me). Here the link to the
