"Otras visiones - Bridging Lines"

The gorge, ravine, the bed of a stream belong to those elements of the city's territory that historically, for natural reasons, stand by the limit. They return cyclically in the urban history of the place as unresolved elements, peremptorily present, cautiously used to be abandoned again. Difficult to understand them as residual or urban spaces, they certainly can not be understood as brownfield sites (since they have never been put into operation). If anything, they are areas of uncertainty in the connection between parties who, in obedience to the dynamics of current development, which exclude abnormal facts, that can not be integrated. One could speak of threshold exception, fringe or-break accident that does not belong to any of the usual forms of subdivision of the site. From the other hand, they are natural elements, portions of the landscape, "irrationally" penetrated in the Cartesian plane / surface of the city. Folds of the land or neglected limits easy to overcome and, above all, not immediately visible from the town itself. When thought as new components of the town become "form." Are no longer "generic / green spaces", but rather belong to that kind of space that could be called "hybrid condensers." They will stay as discharge sites, but not more of useless objects, but of possible places and densities, other uses, which are currently unforeseeable. Non-empty, non-natural and non-artificial. Sensitive areas (imbued with passions, obsessions, dreams, nightmares) which on the senses will ground their main reason for being: la otra vision (otras Visiones). The purpose of the writing is made explicit by the parallel with the work-performance by A.Malinowski in Venice for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2004: the languages of painting, drawing, music and dance "build" the Bridging Lines to redefine the breaking of the Giudecca Canal (other visions, yet).
