Luigi Pellegrin: Visionary of Architecture
& collect
In line with Soleri and Fuller’s approach, Pellegrin proposes interventions on planetary level. He imagines to locate the population in a overhead ring along the equator. “On our planet Earth the temperate zone is the most appropriate place to live in harmony with natural conditions”. In a vision which denies anthropocentrism, but not the role of man, Pellegrin proposes a new place for man on the planet. A place that leaves space also to others, to nature, to vegetation. Visions of a freed environment where the buildings are limited to dense hubs raised from the ground. Clearing the ground is the constant imperative: the place for man is above, in specialized macro branches connected through lines which contain energy fluxes. On the ground, nature regains its space; the artificial is limited to few, dense singular points. Changing perspective, jumping to the planet level, Pellegrin shows us how to face the theme of sustainability in a different, almost brave, way.
