Goodbye Mr Murat
change Skin your city

yyyy the metamorphosis of the neighborhood Murat, who started early and has never stopped, we record a replacement building that is happening these days. Demolished two buildings of the early twentieth century, the company Contemporary Gravina is building a new building, on Via De Rossi 203 and 205. There were two buildings of poor workmanship, with prospects without frames or friezes and plaster (as would be the authentic character of Murat) and then painted with lime, yellow and then red. In place of the existing first two levels, enclosed in tall buildings of the seventies and other elevations, is being built over 5 floors of a building on the ground floor, 20 meters high, the highest technical standards that allow the land use plan in Murat. And that makes it impossible all 7 cubic meters per square meter allowed index for manufacturability in the area, but the operation is equally rewarding, in a real estate market with its price makes a mockery of the economic crisis.
yyyy Therefore, the single statement "must be important" that the designer, engineer and architect Maurizio Passannante Giuseppe Cirillo, go looking in the choice of materials. "The plaster is very poor for a building of merit in an area of \u200b\u200bvalue - say Passannante -. We therefore decided to cover the facade with the Biancone Trani, in large plates. Trani stone is a beautiful material - he explains - it's our building material par excellence. " A variegate the surface of stone, two or three materials. The glass for windows, stainless steel for the five pilasters that the ground will reach the bulk of the crowning cornice, separating the theories of balconies with railings or parapets blind (but the project is still evolving, white aluminum or large stone slabs to cover the railings?).
yyyy the engineer Passannante we learn that the stone surface is roughened, perhaps with vertical stripes, as in Andidero building (designed by Petrignani) via Venice. But more likely will be hammered, "says the designer ignored - in the approach of stone and metal - an important precedent, a few blocks from his yard. It was 1964 when the architect Vito Sangirardi via Cairoli finished building in the headquarters of the Banco di Napoli, covering the facade with stone Bisceglie treated with the mouth end and cover with aluminum golden pillars.
yyyy The city is constantly generating a self-image and to do this contradictory changes and retains its identity, which belongs even the skin of the buildings, with its smells and its materials. Transformations that are induced sometimes by cultural conformity, as - at these latitudes - the claim to the role of a Stone prim'attore. Passannante The engineer has to his credit the recent construction of the building, always in the Murat, in Melo 10 to 14. Even then it was the demolition and replacement of a period building and there have been timid resistance from the Technical Office of the City. As a Melo still aluminum and glass balconies, travertine marble but instead Trani limestone to cover the base. Looking at the above does not need to be enthusiastic about what he announces in Via De Rossi: No flicker of invention or want to read the context of a contemporary language. To explain what we mean, we call into question the Moodmakers, young designers from Bari in 2002 led the then Councillor Donald Wood to warn about the dangers - for the preservation of the historic city - hiding in the planning of ultrafast processes, that of supergod that does not wait for permission
yyyy Stone of the scandal was, in fact a replacement building in Via De Giosa 101-103. A building for housing to be built on the demolition of a dilapidated testimony of Murat. As is standard (the supergod) the new building - completed in 2004 - repeated silhouette of the old and volumertria, but its architecture is decidedly contemporary. Designers (Marcello Mininni, Philip Capodiferro, Giuseppe De Giosa and Marica Laperchia) worked with awareness on the subject of history, recognizing and reproducing the essential features of a building Murat, including the Prospectus, the difference between a stone base and a top face plastered. The translation with a dictionary now in this "rule" has resulted in shifts in the direction of the field: travertine walnut color was chosen to cover the ground floor and first floor while the upper levels a corrugated aluminum skin panels that hint at the surface plastered below. Discrete trace a history of building more honest "poor." __________________
