OPEN SOURCE PARK | DAMIANO CAPUZZO

SPACES BETWEEN LAND AND WATER HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONCEIVED AS A SYNONYMOUS OF CHANGING AND NEW BEGINNING IN WHICH HUMAN BEINGS HAD FORCED THEMSELF TO ACHIVE A STEP FORWARD .
AS USUAL IN PLACES WHERE TIME WORKS AS THE MAIN ACTOR OF A NATURAL SELECTION AND THE NATURE SEEMS TO RECLAME THE LAND AS ONCE IT WAS, WE CAN SMELL CLEAR TRACES OF POETIC MEMORIES WHILE THE AMAZING PANORAMA AND THE OLD BUILDING PATINA COMBINE INTO A GREAT SENSATION OF FREEDOM AND WILDNESS. THE RUMBLE OF THE SEA CAN WAKE US UP INTO A NEW IDEA OF LIFE.
IF ON ONE HAND WE CAN DECLARE THAT DEFINITELY NATURE DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE AS WE RECENTLY DIGITALIZED ALSO THE LAST METER OF THE PLANET AND WE HAVE IT IN OUR ARTIFICIALIZING POCKET, ON THE OTHER WE CAN CONCEIVE THE INTERVENTION AS A NATURARTIFICIAL PROJECT OF NEW STRATIFICATION, AIMED BY THE IDEA OF ESTABLISHING A REAL INTERACTION WITH THE PLACE AND RAISING IT UP TO A BETTER CONDITION TO AMPLIFY ITS OWN RESONANCE. THE STRATEGY IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROGRAM IN AN IRREGULAR SPACE. THE INTERVENTION SHOULD HIGHTLIGHT THE OUTSTANDING QUALITY OF THE SET, OFFERING THE VISITORS A PATH THROUGH THE VARIOUS HISTORICAL AND NATURAL ELEMENTS THAT THIS IS TRUSTEE. THE ENLARGMENT IS UNDERSTOOD AS AN INTERVENTION THAT, INTO A SPECIFIC TIME, ASSUMES ITSELF MORE LIKE A STRATUS THAN A SELF-SUFFICIENT ELEMEN, DECLARING AND SHOWING A NATURAL DIALOGUE WITH THE PRE-EXISTING CONDITION AND THE SURROUNDING.
THE ENLARGMENT IS UNDERSTOOD AS A FOCAL ELEMENT TO TAKE THIS PORTION OF TERRITORY BACK TO LIFE.
IF THE ONLY WAY TO BRING PEOPLE BACK TO THE LAND IS BY ENCORAGING TO ENJOY THEMSELF BY RE-USING THE SPACE, THE PERFECT MEANS TO CONVINCE THEM ARE SOME NEW FORMS OF FRIENDLY DISCOVERING ART, LEISURE, ACCOMODATION AND KNOWLEDGE INTO THE LANDSCAPE.
OPEN SOURCE PARK IS A NEW POSSIBILITY FOR SPECIFIC LANDS AND EXISTING SETS TO PLAY THE GAME AND OPEN UP TO THE REGION AND BEYOND.

THE PRIMARY AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO ENCOURAGE DIVERSE METHODS OF USING THE BUILDING. WE HAVE THEREFORE POSITIVELY CONSIDERD THE POSSIBILITY TO EMBRACE ASPECTS SUCH AMBIGUITY, FLEXIBILITY, VARIABILITY, CHANGE OVERTIME AND MID-TIME TO MAKING THEM ALL EQUAL ESSENTIAL IN THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT. THE EXISTING LIGHTHOUSE BUILDING WITH WELCOME SPACES FOR FOOD AND CULTURE, ARTE AND COMMUNICATION AS A PLACE IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL BE INVOLVED INTO A NEW KIND OF EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ANY HIERARCHY.
