QUESTION: Even as soon as they announced the project sites Houses have expressed strong criticism of their location. A I've done, what you seem more tangible aspects critical emergency situation arising from that choice? from an anthropological point of view, what impact will have on the company's urban imbalances produced by this project?
ANSWER: CASE project - due to a corrupt and totally ignorant location with respect to minimum sustainability criteria anthropological landscape - was resolved for about half of the "new village" in a series of metastasis condominium lots in rural areas. These fragments postsismica city, exploded in the territories of the countries have deteriorated at the same time both the city and the countryside, in an urban disorder that has weakened the cultural diversity of habitat, produces entropy at various levels.
The geography of distance manufactured through this archipelago heterotopic sketches a sort of atoll living that, as a solution to problems caused by earthquake of nature, will prove more and more as a problem caused by bradyseism policy, and requires, where possible, other solutions or damage control. Distance, separation, disintegration, lack of services are issues which could not have placed if he had followed a policy - but inconvenient praticabilissimo lobbies for urban-imprenditorili Aquila - proximity to the town walls.
Today the municipality has to deal with - just because of where these settlements were located - a process of disorientation occurring doubly disturbing : for the inhabitants deported away from their places of origin, and the towns defaced by inappropriate buildings. In many cases, already we see the outcome of an internal migration that has produced a dualism of identity between "local" and "transferred". If the "local" feel invaded by architectures that are perceived as corrupting, "Transfers" end up receiving - because of the distance from the scenic places of origin - the waiting time as a vacuum suspended time, painfully nostalgic, which often tries to soothe a hysterical nomadism short-haul flights to the remains of the city (a symbol of daily life lost). In addition, the distance between these micro settlements makes it tricky for the structuring of a new urban public everyday, and tends to reduce its municipal area of \u200b\u200bseparation in which the bonds of community and sociability are dried up dramatically (a factor that induces, among other things, increase tensions that are discharged in the home).
In conclusion I would say that at the time the disease has taken hold of displacement in L'Aquila due to unhealthy solutions that have built in the form of distance exile and, consequently, waiting . So he sets out, in here, the paradox of a elsewhere that - in what will be the long meantime reconstruction - tends to secrete an excess of alienation.
