May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus. Content that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post.
Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site.
Historical and Architectural Context In a field near the Mount Illuminato Convent, this micro-architecture pays tribute to the lost cloister. It draws inspiration from the story of Saint Francis, who restored sight to a blind girl, offering a reflection on perception and spirituality. In this reinterpretation of the historical cloister, the installation combines a wooden colonnade, echoing traditional architecture, with jute walls that connect with the surrounding grain fields.
Sensory Experience Upon entering the space, visitors experience a transformation of their perception. The jute filters light and landscape, creating an atmosphere for introspection. The textile walls, moving with the air, establish a connection with the environment. In this space where vision shifts, visitors can walk around the central patio or rest on wooden benches.
