Not a Rural House / AACM - Atelier Architettura Chinello Morandi
Not a Rural House highlights an Italian regulatory paradox. An old, crumbling barn to be demolished constrains the shape and height of the new house, forced into the outline of the old ruin. The result is a "fake," a contemporary home with the appearance of a historic one. Memory and history are thus reduced to a blind reiteration of traditional façade finishes or ratios, typical of a time gone by and offspring of abandoned building techniques. If regulations impose a fake rural house, a non-rural house indeed, dressed up in the costume of tradition, architecture has the task of declaring its true nature, unmasking the " make-up " of forgery.
