Pedemontana is a sequence of spaces:
imagine ‘worlds among them’
We worked with a belief in the gradual
revealing by a building-in-formation
of its own rules for its required form
Alison Smithson, 1961

It is made of 2 syllabi: AD+APT
APT:
1. An element in intercultural contact
2. A soft-tecnology which permits a dialogue
3. It allows connections and creates understanding preserving the IDENTITY of each system
AD:
1. It is something added to something existing;
2. It is an adversiment having to do with communication but also with manipulation
The ADAPTOR is a physical configuration of a translation

Our is a collective time.
The work of the autonomous artisan
is being replaced with teamwork and
people have to be prepared for this
collaboration where there is no hierarchy
separating designers from producers
FROM USERS.
Only then can we recover the joy of
moral participation in a work.
Lina Bo Bardi, 1958
