Crafting Urban Intervention: Mario Ridolfi ’s Postwar Works in the City of Terni
The reconstruction works of Mario Ridolfi and Wolfgang Frankl in historical centre of Terni, unlike their earlier practices known for neo-realism, are often marginalised from the mainstream of modernist architecture, probably because their historicist and craftsmanship approach both seemed to be outdated in postwar era and thus unlikely to provide new insights into the architects’ concept. This thesis scrutinises the scarcely discussed relationship among these works, both temporally and geometrically, seeing them, including urban planning and architecture, as parts of a longterm exploration of a consistent compositional apparatus which was able to be applied in urbanism, architecture and construction details alike, which wasn’t seen anywhere else in the architects’ oeuvre. Emphasis is placed on two areas of urban intervention, San Francesco and Piazza Spada, as well as two related sets of built works and projects. Craftsmanship might be the all-time concern when it comes to Mario Ridolfi’s work. In Terni, with no exception, the architects skilfully crafted as many details for every project as for the houses in Marmore. But the critical part still resides between each individual building and their environment, where volume, framework, and construction system was carefully organised as if form, material and technics were organised in construction details, in order to build up connections of components and integrity, or to balance between consistency and multiplicity. In the field of urbanism, craftsmanship became a spirit of systematic way of composition that didn't rely on figure or proportion, but the detailing process translating geometric motif consistently into variegated urban-architectonic forms in different scales that went beyond singular material and buildings technology. Meanwhile, holding to a certain typology of mixed structure with visible concrete framework combined with infill walls, Ridolfi’s ‘urban craftwork' extended to appropriation and reinterpretation of the construction system in accord with ...
