........The Naples project is awaiting of interpretation on different levels   if its Goethe’s  description of Paradise , or depressive  observation of a Walter Benjamin, the harsh reality of the economical situation of  a community of 3 mil people living on the foot of the volcano . I can see John  Heyduk mind wandering of and understanding the site as a relation to the Greek myth . I can see Kenzo Tange and Le Corbusier thoughts reinventing mass housing or the lyrical zumthor  walking down the narrow a streets with his head touching the clean and fresh smelling bed sheets  and as Aldo van Eyck would remind me it is about the home coming of these people with all their habits  and desire and in the quality of the anonymous of the city wall sheltering ...........................

 


,, The artist  is a receptacle of emotions that come from all over the place :from the sky , from the earth , from a scrap of paper , from a passing shape , from a spider web , that why we must not discriminate between things . where things are concerned there are no class distinction . ( Christian Zervos conversation with Picasso )

                 Reinterpretation of Emptiness

The poetics of reciprocity 
Over the years Unit 7 has undertaken architectural discussions in highly charged urban conditions , often with either social,political or historical complexity . Projects are always in search of appropriateness in response to a site .
We expect the students to tread their design territory with vigilance and demonstrate evidence of the desire to be architectural precise.
The architectural intuition and poetic response should be simultaneously developed as is the need for clarity in strategy and design on all levels
