Leonardo Savioli: Didactics and Projects for “Space Involvement”

Abstract

Leonardo Savioli taught to the generation of Radical Architects by the end of the 1960s, succeeding, at that particular period, to accept their experimental ideas in a mutual and fruitful exchange. Thanks to his curiosity, ability to dialogue and above all to the ability to "live his time", Savioli's projects show attention to the user, leaving him the freedom to imagine the place to live "made to measure". Savioli realizes his "space involvement" – taught in the course of “Interior Architecture and Design”, from 1966 to 1970 – both through the use of prefabricated elements in concrete, as in his studio realized in 1968, and through the metal, extendable and modular. During the creative and idealistic years one should highlight and note the cultural exchange and generational “handing down of the baton”.
