Human Walls
The protagonist of this project, the story itself, takes place in a 1960’s building in an ex-suburb in Rome.
A short documentary film describes the relationship of six families within the spaces where they are living; from an event which has never been sought, it builds an extremly natural emotional structure where the memories move along with the passing of time within the space.
Through a series of questions asked to people who live in apartments configurated in the same way, the aim of the project is to stimulate consideration of the space as a creator of customs which are able, sometime unconsciously, to corrupt habits.
The architect bases his work on the comparison of these considerations. He tries to demolish unconscious reactions and reduce, and sometimes eliminate, the present point of view that is considered comforting and usual, one which often is not functional and spontaneous, but assimilated and assumed to be natural.
The configuration of the spaces modifies the habits and improves the conditions of daily existence.
The realization of this project has been made possible by the architect Valentina Frasghini, and the film director Enrico Trippa.
