THE CONCEPT
Visiting Villa Adriana, is born / arises the question that leads you to refer: Isnt Villa Adriana an installation itself? It is true that its place has lost its original function.
Villa Adriana is dead.
And today we face the rest of a past that tries to tell the story of a place that does not exist anymore.
Emerge the need to ACTIVATE Villa Adriana, and with it the dialogue between a past history and the action of the main component of architecture, society.
Villa Adriana as an instrument, allows such dialogue.
People will be who will actively or passively act in this conversation, listeners and speakers.
The project aims to create a short-lived and clean intervention in Villa Adriana, taking into account the desire of Adriano wanted to create a place with the cross and mutual views towards the landscape and gardens reminiscent of the paintings of Pompeii.
The intervention uses directional floating windows to different points of the villa. With this it is established that the person interpreters, believe and feel. Windows become paintings with which speakers can redesign the story.
In turn, since it is a view-based installation, the windows become scenarios of a stage where the audience enjoys the show.
