ANDREA BRANZI, THE PRIMITIVE METROPOLIS
The legacy of the twentieth century, its dogmas and its principles of ethics, are obsolete and useless; the twenty-first century presents itself with totally original and contradictory features, which need to be reflected upon in an exploratory way, without attempting to recreate a new orthodoxy, but rather a rarefied system of anarchic hypotheses and experimentation, more akin to an era like ours – experimental and anarchic.
Project culture is not a secondary part of vaster historical scenarios underway and therefore subject to profound cultural and strategic mutations. In other words, if project culture does not pertain to the culture of humanity, it’s a discipline I’m not interested in. Text and images by Andrea Branzi. With an introduction by Guido Molinari and Francesca Balena Arista.
