Starring the third night of the series "Postcards from the Netherlands, Henk Dutch architects and Ronald Hartzema Schleurholts at the conference described their main projects, with particular emphasis on those made in Italy. First to tell his story, Henk Hartzema immediately opened the discussion by describing the project in Seregno: it is the market square, for which the Dutch architect wanted to emphasize the concept of emptiness, creating a space that was as open as possible. To achieve this goal, the plaza level has been lowered by 30 cm and reorganized the space around a structure that has no real function, but to emphasize the emptiness around it.
The importance of the urban space has in the career Hartzema fact that enriched his speech addressing three main themes. The roads, first, considered the architect as "the veins of the body
city," Hartzema are the element that organizes the space of the city and our perception. Rigorous avenues of Turin, the winding streets of Toledo, until the Dutch, built under sea \u200b\u200blevel and surrounded by greenery, the streets are the elements that more than anything else make up the identity of a city, making it unique and different from others. The road, according to the rapporteur, said the individual's relationship with society: in the Netherlands if the large windows of the houses, often without tents, directly facing the road, what signs of a society very open to the outside, without much fears, in Italy the garden or the entrance that separates the houses from the street reflects an area of \u200b\u200bdefense by the city. Hatzema's speech concludes with a reflection on the perception of space, for which the architect plays a crucial role: it has the task of giving shape and change the reality that reflect aspects of behavior, feelings and desires of society.
The word then goes on to Ronald Schleurholts, partner, along with two other architects Cepezed, a company that for decades lived in Delft. The architect describes the key points that guide projects Cepezed enclosed, in short, the word sustainability. For Innovation Zentrum fur Informatik, Berlin, for example, the company has decided to make use of physics to reduce dependency on electricity supply, creating a structure that, like a chimney, allowing cold air to come down and all 'hot air to rise. An element featuring Cepezed is also the renewal of old buildings. One of the most significant, in that sense, the Dutch Embassy in Rome: from a villa of the early twentieth century, the Schleurholts team has developed a restructuring and expansion while taking into account the previous construction, without upsetting
radical and conserving the contrary, the elements that could be useful. According to this logic, therefore, the corridors were eliminated for having a central space on each floor, the staircase has been moved from inside to outside to let in more light and has an adjoining building that creates a relationship of harmony, contrast with the existing villa. Compared for nature, but also respect for the existing architecture: these objectives have always marked the work of Cepezed, careful not to interfere and to respect what already exists, which has a historical, civil, human.
