YONA FRIEDMAN. La Dissolution de l'Architecture

Yona Friedman was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1923, and pass away Paris, France, February 21, 2020. He studied at the Technical University in Budapest (Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem) and in Haifa. His work has spanned areas ranging from architecture, art and animated film to education and writing. He has participated in numerous art biennials including Shanghai, Venice and Documenta 11. His highly visionary ideas have nurtured various generations of architects and urbanists, influencing groups such as Archigram and even Kenzo Tange, who declared as such in 1970 in Osaka.

In 1956 he published L'architecture mobile, his manifesto which conceived of an urban structure on piles, appropriate for spaces where building is not possible or permitted. This also became the foundational document of the GEAM, Groupe d'étude d'architecture mobile. He created urban concepts such as the Spatial City, based on the free organisation of a city by citizens using low-cost mobile and reusable modules. In 1965 he founded, together with Ionel Schein, Walter Jonas and others, the GIAP, Groupe International d'Architecture Prospective.

From the 1960’s he also became interested in animated film making which would lead him to propose a series of do-it-yourself construction manuals with simple pictograms addressing basic questions, which we could summarise under the title L´habitat c’est mon affaire. Comment habiter la terre (Habitat is my business: how to inhabit the earth). These were edited by the United Nations and given broad distribution in India, South America and Africa.

Emmanuele Lo Giudice (Palermo, Italy, 1975) is an Italian architect and artist, has participated in several important exhibitions and festivals of art and architecture in Italy, Switzerland, Venezuela, Germany, Spain and Colombia: FESTARCH Perugia 2011; Hamburg Art Week 2012; Museum Architecture Leopoldo Rother of the National University of Colombia in Bogota, la Casa Velázquez in Madrid, the University of Architecture of Venice IUAV and ARCHIZOOM in Lausanne.

Since the year 2010, Yona Friedman and Emmanuele Lo Giudice have developed some projects, especially analyzing the tubject of the museum and reaching even more radical solutions over other projects by Friedman, considering the following projects: Venice Street Museum 2012; Perugia Street Museum 2011; Venice, 2010 The Museum of Civilization.

Emmanuele Lo Giudice work is multidisciplinary, where architecture, drawing, photography and readymade become instruments for critical analysis of the architecture and the city. His works have been acquired for the important Archivio Progetti IUAV of Venice and some of his books and articles have been published in ABITARE and SKIRA.

The main idea in these projects is that the Earth is over-built, so what is required is not more buildings but learn to creatively manage the space you have. Architecture and urbanism as frameworks for human life and creativity is well understood. Public Museums, low budget, which does not necessarily have to be buildings, but a visual display and a conceptual transformation of this new way to see the space, a museum focused on the content and management of an area not built.
