The essay analyzes artists' and designers' responses to crisis situations (from homelessness to refugees due to conflict or natural disasters) in which personal, couple, and family intimacy is denied. Artists and designers develop experiments that, in their variety, express both the need for isolation and the attempt to recover a minimum of human relations. Among the different cases, two main trends with their own evolutionary characteristics stand out: the dress as a refuge (the works of Kosuke Tsumura, Lucy Orta, Bas Timmer, Michael Rakowitz, Moreno Ferrari, etc. ) and the pitched-roof archetype ranging from furnishings to prefabricated houses (Mad Housers,Oskar Leo Kaufmann, Sam Davis, Gregory Klonen , Lehrer Architects, Maawa, Ikea etc.), swinging between extreme reductionism, to the memory of tradition as spiritual comfort.
Il saggio analizza le risposte di artisti e progettisti alle situazioni di crisi (dai senzatetto ai rifugiati a causa di conflitti o calamità naturali) in cui l'intimità personale, di coppia, familiare è negata. Artisti e progettisti sviluppano sperimentazioni che, nella loro varietà, esprimono sia la necessità di isolamento, sia il tentativo di recuperare un minimo di relazioni umane. Tra i diversi casi, si evidenziano due tendenze principali con proprie caratteristiche evolutive: l'abito come rifugio (i lavori di Kosuke Tsumura, Lucy Orta, Bas Timmer, Michael Rakowitz, Moreno Ferrari ecc.) e l'archetipo del tetto a falde che spazia dagli arredi alle case prefabbricate (Mad Housers,Oskar Leo Kaufmann, Sam Davis, Gregory Klonen , Lehrer Architects, Maawa, Ikea ecc.), oscillando tra il riduzionismo estremo, alla memoria della tradizione come conforto spirituale.

Abstract
The essay analyzes artists' and designers' responses to crisis situations (from homelessness to refugees due to conflict or natural disasters) in which personal, couple, and family intimacy is denied. Artists and designers develop experiments that, in their variety, express both the need for isolation and the attempt to recover a minimum of human relations. Among the different cases, two main trends with their own evolutionary characteristics stand out: the dress as a refuge (the works of Kosuke Tsumura, Lucy Orta, Bas Timmer, Michael Rakowitz, Moreno Ferrari, etc. ) and the pitched-roof archetype ranging from furnishings to prefabricated houses (Mad Housers,Oskar Leo Kaufmann, Sam Davis, Gregory Klonen , Lehrer Architects, Maawa, Ikea etc.), swinging between extreme reductionism, to the memory of tradition as spiritual comfort.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
