Architettura Animale, Bestiario Ininterrotto

There is a non-secondary component of architecture that is inspired by the animal world; after all, among the founding acts or the rites of building there is always the blood of the beast, and it draws from this some themes that incessantly run through the space and time of its composing. This animal world, which very much resembles us, insinuates overwhelmingly, re-emerging in that of the project that uses its heritage in many of its manifestations by similarities, by comparisons or by emulation. Some animals lend themselves more than others to being inhabited until they discover their inner bowels. Others relate us to the skies with their cosmogonies that beasts in all the latitudes of the world have made use of, or to the earth as in the geoglyphs of Nazca, or in the rocks that take on animalistic connotations according to the principle of apophenia, up to configure, in many cases, an animal town planning. To the animal, we owe a parallel series of ways of living and consequent architectures, from burrows to foams, shelters or ravines. The book investigates these parallel architectures, which are inspired by animals. This all "animal" text then appears as an uninterrupted bestiary; it is the completion of a trilogy of treatises (Alphabets of Architecture, Global Architecture, Animal Architecture) that the author has dedicated to Architecture and its necessary trespassings.
