Arnaldo Pomodoro - Il Carapace
Il Carapace, cellar of the Lunelli estate, in Castelbuono di Bevagna, Umbria, work of Arnaldo Pomodoro and Studio Pedrotti.
Video made by Caterina Fuso, University of Florence, Architecture Department, Degree in Architecture Sciences. Thematic seminar: 'Communicating architecture and design', aa. 2014-2015. Teachers: M. Scalzo, A. Di Cintio, G. Verdiani, G. Ridolfi. Tutor: A. Di Cintio.
Duration: 6 '02' '
Music: Tycho - Daydream, Tycho - Dye
Background
I chose the architectural work of the Carapace as the subject of my video, because the art and thought of Arnaldo Pomodoro have always intrigued and fascinated me, during my university and personal studies. Therefore, I saw this as an opportunity to learn more about it. Pomodoro has always shown this extraordinary ability to attribute an aura of mystery to the simplest geometric shapes, hinting that in addition to the external simplicity of things, a much larger and richer world is hidden inside them, all to be discovered and investigated . From this point of view, the Carapace can be considered the emblem of all its philosophy and artistic research and for this reason, I have directed my choice on this very precise work.
At the base of this video project, there is therefore the desire to let know this fascinating construction, which perhaps, due to its recent inauguration (year 2012), is still little known. Despite this, it is certainly considered one of the most successful works by Arnaldo Pomodoro, as it has been able to perfectly reconcile the artistic and functional aspects of a cellar with it.
Concept
In the various scenes and shots that follow one another, I wanted to simulate the arrival of a visitor in the town of Castelbuono. In fact, we find ourselves in front of a story that starts from a macroscopic vision: the view of the city of Assisi and the hilly landscapes, scattered with vineyards, up to have views in the distance of the Carapace and the Dardo, immersed in the most complete nature. Later, we move on to a closer view of the structure, which allows us to have a perception of how it communicates with the strictly surrounding environment. Finally, you have the opportunity to enter inside the copper dome and discover its internal wooden framework, with all its splendid geometries, and then go underground in the damp and suffused cellar, the heart of the entire work.

Approaching the City
Edward Hopper's paintings video animation with After Effects.
Video by Caterina Fuso, University of Florence, School of Architecture Degree, Course in Architecture Sciences.
Seminar: 'Communicating architecture and design' , aa. 2014-2015. Teacher: Prof. Marcello Scalzo.
Duration: 4 '31' '
Sound effects: freesound.com Music: '' Blue Monk '' by Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk (1957).
Background and Concept
'Approaching the city' is an animation video of some paintings by the American painter Edward Hopper, created for the thematic seminar of the University of Florence, Department of Architecture: 'Communicating architecture and design'. The choice was immediately directed to Edward Hopper and his works, as in them he always favored landscape architecture, city streets, house interiors, offices, theaters and clubs. He always focused on the theme of the city and of the built, in contrast with the theme of nature and the non-built, thus triggering an analysis of the relationship these environments have with man, that is, with him who basically lives these spaces. This seminar dealt with in-depth topics related to films, cinema, shooting techniques and techniques for writing subjects for videos. Choosing Hopper's compositions and their following animation as their theme, it seemed to me a coherent choice that could unite the world of architecture with that of cinema. Hopper's paintings are characterized by photographic cuts, interior scenes that give the impression of being real shots of a film or sequences extrapolated directly from a storyboard. It is no coincidence that his very personal style was in turn imitated by many filmmakers and photographers. His works are characterized by bright colors, but they do not convey a sense of vivacity. His is a pure realism: things are represented as they are in reality, but in them there is something more, which goes beyond what is depicted, something metaphysical that communicates to the viewer a strong feeling of restlessness.
By representing fragments of everyday life in the cities and in the American countryside, Hopper tried to express a sense of loneliness and estrangement of man towards the spaces he lived. The scenes are in fact often deserted, immersed in silence; in general there is a human figure, and when there is rarely more than one, a dramatic situation of incommunicability emerges between these subjects. The subjects are yes in the same place, but between them there is no exchange or communication, they are inaccessible. Their eyes do not cross, but they are turned to something outside that is out of sight of the viewer. The 'cinematographic' character of his paintings is also given by the sophisticated play of lights, cold sharp, which seem almost 'artificial'. The intent of this video animation project is to try to revive Edward Hopper's paintings in a modern way, trying to give them life (a second life, 2.0), with the help of technology. I have tried to animate scenes, landscapes and characters in the true sense of the word, by using the "Parallax Effect" technique or by using the "Puppet Tool" function. Finally, sound effects were added, in agreement with every situation and scene painted, which could make everything even more alive and real.
