Ecosystem: (Treccani def.) Functional unit fundamental in ecology: is the group of living organisms and non-living substances with which the former establish an exchange of materials and energy, in a delimited area, for example a lake, a field, a wood etc.

Palazzo Lenci, this building and its immediate surroundings, is a crucial part of urban fabric created from the very start to be part of a unique, non.repeatable man-environment balance: Barchi. The ideal city designed by Filippo Terzi is the dynamic representative of balance; of a balanced proportion between man and environment, where they share a space following spatial, material, environmental regulations, generating ample perspectives, measured views, breezes in the alleyways, secret gardens. squares.

Participation: the best participative route result, very often, is not in just doing the right thing, but in not making the wrong choices. Participation is a decidedly abused term, but we need it, always often, always more often. How can we consider this project a participation site, one of shared design, where local stakeholders, distant players (often foreigners), inhabitants, tourists, artists and entrepreneurs, can join together in tenacious, creative experimenting on the shared, sustainable use of the historic heritage built in an extraordinary place like Barchi?

Innovation: by now we are used to associating this term with technological environments, strange devices, inventions enabling you to change the world every day… The etymological meaning of innovation is accompanied by other references, other horizons. Innovate: change the order of things to create new things.

This project wants to contribute to imagination oriented towards “doing new things”, without shouting, without claiming to change the world, but behaving concretely, simply experimenting and opening doors to stimuli and actions that will gradually come to life.

Identity: what causes a place’s identity? What distinguishes one square from another? Why does a stone, a single stone, placed in a specific point communicate its presence in an important, tangible way, move us, becoming an essential part in building the identity of the small perspective of an urban passage? How can the relationship between man and nature build poetry and root beauty in a physical space turning it into a place?

People: walking, talking, sitting, exploring, building, getting lost, loving. These are just some of the numerous actions carried out by each of us, along with the person next to us, for a single moment or an entire life; against the backdrop of a city, a building, of a single room. People and places; terms mixed in a mutual exchange of roles, functions, sensations, building the space lived by our houses and towns, day by day.

Italo Calvino, Marcovaldo, that is the seasons in town, Einaudi, 1966.

Stories: every glimpse of Barchi seems to want to be discovered by us, even the most distracted one; narrating past times, revealing traces of traditions and places that time has brought to us patiently and tenaciously. Barchi made of several small stories; Barchi touched, crossed by history; slumbering, perhaps waiting for someone to tell its story, again. The path we are trying to take is fascinating; something that made us love the traces that this extraordinary town carries with it. We are looking for travelling companions; pragmatic dreamers to help us know, understand, dream new ways to turn Palazzo Lenci into a humble player in all the stories to be re-invented here, in Barchi.
