In this issue: Inside China!!
We couldn’t resist to temptation to dedicate an our issue to China. We see a country that is maintaining a very high resilience production system, with gigantic interventions of massive state and private capital that push in designated directions – but it is also a country that is opening up more and more to the world. The point of view that we propose this time, compared to other monographic issues on the same subject, wants to be more original: people who work or have worked in China try to describe what their eyes have seen, and what their feelings of Westerners have caught.

In this issue we interview young men who build their trade every day, often following their creative instinct. They do not run away from problems and in this way they live on their passions, creating step by step success stories. Their stories give in general a positive and inspiring message in which the central thread seems to be condensed into one word: Quality!

Nevertheless, we do not want to let go of you because the purpose of Parola d’Arte is to reflect, in a modern way, what defines the sides of the artist’s profession, of the architect’s, and generally of whom imagines and through his work generates emotions.”

The legendary Greek bandit, Damaste, built a standard sized, stone bed. If his victims were too short, they were stretched with a hammer, and if too high, cut into pieces , as long as it did not fit perfectly ; hence its nickname , Προκρούστης ( Procustes , the launderer ) . Probably, Damaste would be, in our times, an Italian architect. In the sixties – seventies, during the immense expansion of the suburbs without identity, many were aware of the loss of the human dimensions of modern housing, indifferent to the Italian building tradition

The following booklet is the first of a series of thematic researches which you are all invited to share and partake. The idea of building a new language emerged itself naturally, following our experience in the City Vision project with Francesco Lipari and Vanessa Todaro. In that platform (from Mag to Competition) we faced the possibility of generating new architectural languages, to characterize the city at a urban scale in the (next?) future.
