It is almost nine o’clock in the evening, and the seminar has reached its evening session, preceded, as scheduled, by the morning and afternoon sessions. The setting is magical, at least to the author. An archive — a ‘place where order is established’, as Derrida observed — and therefore an appropriate setting in which to discuss order, architecture, and composition.

It is a community that continues to recognise itself as part of a shared academic tradition and that, despite pursuing different lines of research, remains united by the centrality of architectural design, understood in relation to a broader cultural dimension and a recognisable intellectual tradition.

Sono quasi le nove di sera, il Seminario è alla sessione serale, anticipata, come da programma, da quella mattutina e quella pomeridiana. Il luogo è magico, perlomeno per chi scrive. Un archivio, “luogo in cui l’ordine è dato” diceva Deridda e, pertanto, luogo adatto per parlare di ordine, di architettura, di composizione. Un archivio unico, ospitato dentro un’abbazia cistercense, ancora più magico quindi, per ospitare un folto gruppo di accademici appartenenti al settore disciplinare della Composizione architettonica e urbana, quasi come se fosse un conclave. Sono stato invitato al Seminario nella veste di moderatore pertanto, nelle parole che seguiranno, non proverò a declinare il tema proposto, non era quello il mio compito, ma mi limiterò a fare una sintesi di ciò che è stato detto e di quello che ho capito, in particolare nella sessione da me moderata, con un tentativo di trarre delle brevi considerazioni generali, forse non chiaramente raccontate nella giornata conclusiva, complice l’emozione perché il più giovane presente in quella comunità scientifica radunata da Carlo Quintelli e Lamberto Amistadi, che ancora si riconosce in una comunità accademica e che, se pur percorrendo differenti ricerche, è ancora accomunata dalla centralità del progetto nel suo rapporto con una dimensione culturale allargata e con una tradizione riconoscibile, che rende tutti confrontabili su uno stesso piano ideologico.

Abstract
It is almost nine o’clock in the evening, and the seminar has reached its evening session, preceded, as scheduled, by the morning and afternoon sessions. The setting is magical, at least to the author. An archive — a ‘place where order is established’, as Derrida observed — and therefore an appropriate setting in which to discuss order, architecture, and composition. A unique archive, housed within a Cistercian abbey, makes the setting even more evocative, bringing together a large group of academics specialising in Architectural and Urban Composition, almost as though they were gathered in a conclave. I was invited to the seminar as a moderator. Accordingly, in the reflections that follow, I shall not attempt to develop the proposed theme, since that was not my role. Instead, I shall confine myself to summarising what was said and what I understood, particularly during the session I moderated, while attempting to draw a few broader conclusions. These reflections may not have been articulated with sufficient clarity during the concluding session, partly because of the emotion I felt as the youngest participant in the scientific community brought together by Carlo Quintelli and Lamberto Amistadi. It is a community that continues to recognise itself as part of a shared academic tradition and that, despite pursuing different lines of research, remains united by the centrality of architectural design, understood in relation to a broader cultural dimension and a recognisable intellectual tradition. This common foundation enables its members to engage with one another within a shared ideological framework.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
