Fiumara d’arte: Between Pure Geometry and Architectural Symbolism

Abstract

Geometry: real space delimitation, classification, scanning and analysis tool. It can be expressed through the proposition of more or less complex organisms, sinuous or extremely rectified lines, instruments of communication of the real and unreal world.

The recognisability of the volumes is the essential condition through which to understand the architectural message propagated by the form. The knowledge-form relationship becomes a binary with a single and proportional axis: the more the forms are comprehensible -therefore simple and regular- the more they will be recognisable, internalized and internalizable by the observer. In the context of recognisability, it is in fact the pure forms that are capable of arousing shock, amazement and understanding, making the construction immediate, pervaded by an instinctive symbolism.

Fiumara d’arte represents the perfect synthesis of all this, founded on geometries and colors imbued with individual meaning and symbolism, connected to each other by a material and immaterial plot. The Piramide al 38° Parallelo, the Labirinto di Arianna and the Monumento per un Poeta Morto-la finestra sul mare, appear to be structures requiring a detailed analysis, to be considered in parallel in a unitary path of knowledge and geometry. Defined by three primordial geometries -the triangle, the square and the circle- they stand out in their surroundings thanks to their colors and profound spiritual meanings, through which to learn about the landscape, history and myths of a place.
