Narrative and autobiography in architecture. The Scarzuola by Tomaso Buzzi

The relationship between architecture and narration is a widely debated theme in the contemporary world. At the base of possible convergent themes with apparently so distant disciplines there are a series of knots not yet completely resolved. In particular the spectacular dimension has swept away all areas of knowledge, with the problem of a continuous rethinking and adaptation of artistic (and therefore architectural) work. Especially in relation to the theme of communication, we can verify a paradox: between narrative languages and immediacy of media, the conceptual (and temporal) short circuit generates interpretative ambiguities. One of the most effective form of communication, the image, plays an increasingly persuasive role as well as pervasive. What forms of narration support this unprecedented acceleration of communication? What is the role of writing today? Can the architecture measure itself with the narrative and imaginative dimension of the storytelling?
