301_Alessandro Luporino: Dizionario Illustrato di Architettura

Alessandro Luporino, from South Italy: “Italian Architect born on 02/18/1992. I studied Architecture in Naples, at the University of Federico II[graduated in 2018]. During my studies, I have always been interested in the representation and of architecture. I studied the issues of hand drawing, three-dimensional modeling, architectural visualization and post-production.”

University: Università degli studi Federico II - Napoli

Professor(s): Beniamino Servino

Name of Project: "Dizionario illustrato di architettura"-[Illustrated dictionary of architecture]

Project Description: Q_set: Illustrated dictionary of architecture 

The illustrated dictionary of architecture is part of a larger project called Q: set [den [SE] t. Drawings / Thinking / Unintentional taste accumulation about Architecture], which emphasizes the importance of drawing not only as an element of communication, but also[above all] as an "instrument of knowledge and understanding reality". Drawing, therefore , as a tool that can be used to make yours ideas and forms of others, filtered by your own personality. 

The illustrated dictionary of architecture [whose terms are taken from the book: Dictionary of Architecture by Nikolaus Pevsner, John Fleming, Hugh Honor] is, obviously, like any dictionary, a work of cataloging, but also an exercise on drawing and representation of concepts [how to transform an idea into a shape]. A constant and daily study.

This project was born with the idea of : knowing[re-discovering] the terms that belong to architecture, more and more forgotten [in this sense it is like a study] and with a divulgative will [sharing].

The possibility, moreover, given by this type of exercise is to take the terms as an input for a research on the representation that develops in different forms [trying to be faithful to the meanings of the terms], a reading and re-writing that works for transfiguration, alteration, citation and accumulation.

A project that has no claim of correctness or univocity, but only the pure pleasure of knowing.
