Ut architectura poësis

Abstract

This essay seeks to establish a strict dialogue between images and words belonging to different fields through an unusual parallel between architecture and literary narration and techniques. The theory which underlies the act of composing architecture looks for design-lines, strategies and tools of action outside the disciplinary field of architecture itself and aims to build up spaces and objects taking into deep consideration the (perceptive, emotional, empathic, embodied) reactions of the user. The relationship between architectural, artistic and literary research spans two different case-studies: the landscape projects made by Iuav students, inspired by Ariosto’s and Boiardo’s poems; the architectural devices of Palazzo Te in Mantua by Giulio Romano read by Manfredo Tafuri, compared with the literary devices of the poem Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto.
