Torino

Fablab Torino / Officine

Arduino

If the GranTouristas are planning to make a trip in

Italy going to see the most interesting places,

people and things, the Officine Arduino joint can't

be skipped.

Here is the explanation:

Officine Arduino Torino is a combination of

Makerspace, Fablab and an Arduino office

dedicated to further the development of the

platform and open source hardware.

Officine Arduino is born out of the experience of

creating the first FabLab in Italy during an

exhibition that lasted throughout 2011. We

experienced the positive energy that came out of

the encounter between the local community of

makers, students, designers and our team based in

Torino.

After the exhibition shut down we though that

Arduino could act as an incubator to empower

the people we work with to setup a company that

would share our resources and equipment with the

local community. Luckily we found the amazing

people at Toolbox co-working (http://www.

toolboxoffice.it/) who provided us with free space

within an old FIAT factory.

Officina means workshop and in Italian it has

the vintage sound of the name given to those small

companies that made amazing products with

limited resources and a lot of ingenuity.

We wanted to see what comes out when you

connect open source hardware and software,

digital fabrication, maker culture, hands-on

learning, open design, alternative business

models, co-working and a great community.

Torino is the template for more Officine Arduino

we would like to open around the world so that

more people can hang out with us and build

amazing stuff.

Corviale

This is a slab.

...and its name is Corviale.

Designed by Mario Fiorentino, it is nine floors high,

for a kilometer of lenght.

So powerful that is able to stop the typical Roman

wind.

Since its construction (1972/1982), an endless

amount of project to transform and make it

gentler and nicer have been made. I think it

should be there as it is.

Almere-Stad

DIY Urbanism

Interesting project by MVRDV, Almere Oosterwold.

A development strategy for Almere Oosterwold,

titled 'Estate for Initiatives' is a revolution in Dutch

urban planning as it steps away from governmental

dictate and invites organic urban growth in which

initiatives are stimulated and inhabitants can

create their own neighbourhoods including public

green, urban agriculture and roads.

New Haven City Hall

Atlas Obscura

This is one of the nicest web-based projects I have

seen in a long time.

http://atlasobscura.com/

From their website:

WHAT IS THE ATLAS OBSCURA?

The Atlas Obscura is the definitive guidebook and

friendly tour-guide to the worlds most wondrous

places.

User-generated and editor curated, the Atlas is a

collaborative compendium of amazing places that

aren't found in your average guidebook.

If you're looking for miniature cities, glass flowers,

books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes

in the ground, bone churches,

balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of

paper, the Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them.

A collaborative project anyone and everyone is

welcome and encouraged to add a place for

inclusion, and to edit the content already in the

Atlas. Whether searching for an upcoming trip,

taking a trip with the Obscura Society, or just

reading places great stories: we want to help your

adventures happen.

In an age where everything seems to have been

explored and there is nothing new to be found, the

Atlas Obscura celebrates a different way of

traveling, and viewing the world. There is plenty

out there to discover, so lets start looking!

Catedral de Salamanca

An astronaut landing on the

Cathedral.

Another thing I learned thanks to the

GranTouristas (this one comes from Giulio

Pascali). Did you know that in Salamanca they

have a Cathedral with all kind of old an new

marble icons?

Isn't it great?

How come no one ever thought about it (to add

new symbols of contemporary life into the

traditional Catholic old buildings)?

Dark Drives

Another nice work by Raumlabor in Berlin. This is

the exhibition architecture for "Dark Drives".

Here is how they explain it:

The exhibition design for the show dark drives

integrated the presentation ofvery different media

into one spacial frame. the media presented were

mainly projections, works shown on screens but

also sculptural works, sound works and pronts /

drawings in frames. the general athmosphere of

the exhibition space was quite dark, darker than

represented on the fotographs. the architecture

followes loosely the lines of opening up the frames

and elements of exhibition design. the notions of

inside and outside, of front and back of porper and

casual (re)presentations are opened up for

individual interpretation. the diagram of the

spacial layout is therefore broken down into a

nearly continuous sequence of

La Biennale di Venezia

Rethinking Happiness (...

Boop, Maybe not...)

This is an image of Aldo Cibic's "Rethinking

Happiness" project. It was on show at Venice

Biennale 2010.

I am not sure about the architecture, but if I was

to have a big office, for sure Aldo would be in

charge of the models.

If we are talking about architecture models, he isone of the finest chaps in the world.

Nuovo Mondo

In the GranTouristas game/trip/whatsover,

Maurizio Cilliis a fantastic character. He knows all

kind of secret stories, has access to hidden

archives and places.

Francesco Toris: http://www.facebook.

com/media/set/?set=oa.399419216789282

In case you don't read Italian, here is what I've

found for you:

The discovery of a piece entitled Le Nouveau

Monde spurred the Collection de lArt Bruts latest

eponymous exhibition. To construct this maze-like

architectural work central to the show, Francesco

Toris availed himself exclusively of whittled and

carved cattle bones.

The young Italian carabiniere (1863-1918),

committed to the Turin Psychiatric Hospital at the

age of thirty-three, finely chiseled a great number

of elements: human figures, idols, imaginary

animals, staircases, doors, and different motifs

embellished with flowers, letters or numbers. He

assembled the delicate works by stacking and

fitting parts into each other, without the any link,

nails or glue. Sitting on three wheels, the fanciful

construction can be moved about. Eschewing any

preliminary drafts or drawings, this entirely self-

taught creator spent five years (from 1899 to

1905) diligently applying himself to the piece.

Santuario della Pazienza

Laura Basco started to share some special places

she knows in Southern Italy.

This is an image of the Sanctuary of Patience, an

incredible work by Ezechiele Leandro (1905-1981).

He transformed his house in San Cesario di Lecce,

Italy, into a museum. Inside his paintings and small

sculptures are exposed. The garden outside,

entitled the Sanctuary of Patience, has an

enormeous collection of his larger sculptures.

Langhe

Eredi Brancusi

Brancusi Heirs. A group of artists specialized in

using the leftovers of famous artists' works.

Here above for instance, you can see what they

found when fiddling with Marcel Duchamp stuff.

Mr Duchamp used the front wheel to make his

famous piece, and the remaining was forgotten for

a long time (till the Eredi Brancusi found it).

They disappeared in 2003, somewhere in Langhe

region. Antonio Scarponi says they run a bed &

breakfast in some pictoresque hillside village (as

soon as we know more, we will update this post).

Thanks to Legrenzi Susannafor the links.

Ex Ospedale Psichiatrico Di Trieste

You hate me...

...and out of spite, i love you all!

Another stop in the GranTour should be in Trieste,

at the former asylum. It is the place where FrancoBasaglia (psychiatrist, neurologist, pioneer of the

Vico del Gargano

Una specie di chiesa all'aria

aperta

Another special place found by Remo Ricchetti in

Apulia.

The sign reads: "Some kind of open air church.

Saint John the Baptiste. Private house. To enter,

ring the bell from 9.30 to 11.00. It is forbidden to

enter without ringing the bell".

We should go there, thanks Remo.

Tricamera Obscura

Thanks to Andrea Botto, we were able to discover

the magic world of Ando Gilardi. Photographer,free-thinker + a lot of other things.

Here above the Tricamera Obscura, a cardboard

camera he invented and was later produced by

Ilford.

Unfortunately he died few months ago, but at the

Fototeca Storica Nazionale (founded by him) there

is an archive of more than 500.000 images+ lots of

other things.

Unfortunately the website is in Italian only,

anyway, here is the link: http://www.fototeca-
