Libri di Aldo Castellano

«Questo è, in sostanza, il tema del libro, incentrato sulla storia delle compromissioni politiche di alcune personalità di primo piano dell'architettura moderna con le due ideologie del XX secolo, condannate da gran parte della storiografia e dell'opinione pubblica come criminali: il fascismo, almeno dopo l'inizio della Seconda guerra mondiale; e il comunismo, soprattutto dopo l'avvio della Guerra fredda. Mettere sul banco degli imputati quelle personalità architettoniche, addossando loro indistintamente i misfatti dei regimi dei loro committenti – effettivi o anche solo sperati – è fare di ogni erba un fascio, moralisticamente. È, invece, quanto mai opportuno in questi casi saper distinguere e comprendere bene quel che effettivamente è stato, per non far sì che un'altra cancel history stravolga anche la storia dell'architettura moderna» (dalla prefazione di Aldo Castellano)

Milan EXPO 2015 took up dining issue as the theme: “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. The theme encompassed technology, innovation, culture, traditions and creativity. It’s related to every being on this small planet. In the same year, there was another exposition in Shanghai, the Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2015. During the Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2015, was also made the exibition “The Beauty in Eating Together”. The curators were Italian and Chinese scholars, e.g. Prof. Angelo Bugatti from The University of Pavia, Prof. Aldo Castellano from Polytechnic University of Milan and Prof. Chen Yi from Tongji University; they have made a deep research on this topic. The European and Chinese history, society and dining spaces in past, today and future have been narrated on exhibition, though it was certainly small in scale to comparing with the grand exposition in Milan but it has also gained good reputation and extensive attention. Since then the curators would expand their researches, as we will take the advantage of this research experience. The authors are all architects, and are also famous professors and scholars in architectural design, education and theory researches. They had been building expansive and comprehensive collaborations in aspects of education, research, international exchange, and organizing workshops, seminars, exhibitions and others since last 20 years and owned international reputations. This library is an achievement on international corporations and joint research, thus, it generated the first book series for this topic including three volumes, which are: 1) Eating together. History, Culture, and Architecture; 2) Eating together. Design and History; 3) Eating together. Design Studies and New Trends. The books take anthropological and sociological view to study the dining space. Wherever dining in Italy or China, everywhere would always become a most important issue. In China, there is a canon, “Food is the first necessity for people”. Dining is an ancient topic too: about 2500 years ago, Confucius said himself on dining that “he did not eat his fill of polished rice, nor did he eat his fill of finely minced meat”. Dining is not just a daily necessary, but also related to history, culture, humanity, economy and politics.

“Questo libro ricostruisce il lungo e complesso cammino (culturale, politico e burocratico-amministrativo) che fu necessario percorrere per arrivare alla costruzione del palazzo che, ancora oggi, a distanza di 75 anni, rappresenta il cuore istituzionale di una Bocconi diversa nei numeri e nelle dimensioni ma, pur nella sua complessità odierna, rigorosamente fedele ai suoi valori fondanti.” (Dalla Presentazione di Mario Monti)

Viaggiare e conoscere sono due termini legati indissolubilmente nella mente di ognuno di noi. Recarsi in luoghi diversi da quelli che ci sono abituali determina inevitabilmente un apprendimento che può essere più o meno grande in rap- porto al nostro atteggiamento, ovvero al nostro interesse disponibilità a conoscere. Viaggiare per conoscere è un’attività molto piacevole, anche se a volte faticosa, che per un giovane, ma anche per i meno giovani come me, costituisce una tappa importante del proprio processo di crescita e di comprensione del mondo che ci circonda. Vedere dal vivo e “toccare con mano” trasmette una dimensione della realtà incomparabilmente più ricca e soprattutto vera rispetto alle immagini pur belle di un libro o di un reportage televisivo. Questo libro raccoglie una parte delle note e delle fotografie di alcuni viaggi, per ciò stesso non ha una connotazione di ricerca scientifica, ma invece un carattere di leggero e piacevole divertissement. È quasi automatico per chi svolge un lavoro intellettuale amato e gratificante come il mio dedicare la propria attenzione alla conoscenza dei luoghi visitati ed in particolare ad alcuni elementi curiosi e affascinanti dell’architettura. In tal modo il viaggio, in luoghi sconosciuti, ma anche noti, si arricchisce e diventa motivo di sempre nuove stimolanti scoperte.
