Altroquando
Alessi Palace Paterno
Images from Altroquando is, therefore, a provocation, maybe a mental projection of our deepest frustrations , if it is true , how true it is , that our frustrations thinking of architects , designers, urban spaces arise from the discrepancy between how a place and as we would like it to be, especially in our city, then Atroquando is the place to give vent to our frustrations and get rid of it .
Altroquando is an imaginative space , a corner of our minds imagine the places where in any other way , ” different places” .
It is the ideal place , a parallel Paterno , in another time, another when in fact, where we imagine that in our city for a moment, just a moment you enliven those architectures that are actually in other places . Allowing them to re- draw a territory of the ideal city made of architectures , surely dear to us , more or less known , in place of abandoned places , abandoned, lost opportunities , gaps, smarginati , but to which we recognize physical strength and significance .
