Inferiore all’1.4, dal 2014 il tasso di fertilità in Italia è tra i più bassi in Europa. Le politiche di assistenza sociale per le famiglie non sono risultate sufficienti a fronteggiare quest’avvio di crisi demografica, tanto da potersi persino annoverare, per la loro inefficienza, tra le molteplici cause di questa negativa tendenza. La pianificazione urbana e la progettazione architettonica possono dare un contributo fondamentale. In una fase notoriamente critica per la professione dell’architetto, abbiamo trovato nel mondo dei bambini un campo d’azione e d’indagine fertili. Del resto, pur non sembrando a loro tempo una necessità, anche i playground di Aldo van Eyck, in una Amsterdam distrutta dalla guerra, hanno paradossalmente rappresentato una delle risposte più sensibili nella storia della progettazione architettonica. Nell’attualità, genitore e lavoratore sono sempre più sinonimi. Il tempo da passare con i figli si assottiglia sempre di più e la domanda di spazi per il doposcuola è sempre più un’urgenza. Ci è sembrato lecito ragionare sul significato del tempo libero e del senso che questo può avere per un bambino. Il pomeriggio come tema progettuale fisico s’incrocia così con quello del gioco, del giardino, della didattica, trovando nell’oratorio un suo precedente architettonico.

Abstract
The fertility rate in Italy, less than 1.4 %, is among the lowest in Europe. Social assistance policies for families have not been adequate to deal with the beginning of the demographic crisis, so that they can be included for their inefficiency among the many causes of this negative trend. Urban planning and architectural design can make a fundamental contribution. At a notoriously critical time for the architect profession, we have found the children’s world rich scope of actions and investigations. Also the playgrounds of Aldo van Eyck, built in Amsterdam destroyed by war, even though they did not seem to be a necessity at the time, have paradoxically represented one of the most sensitive responses in the history of architectural design. Nowadays, parents and workers are even more increasingly synonymous. The time to spend with children is dwindling always more and the demand for spaces for after-school activities is increasingly urgent. All these consideration lead us to think about the meaning of leisure time and its importance for a child. The afternoon as a physical design theme is linked so with the game, the garden and didactics, finding in the ORATORIO/ SUNDAY SCHOOL its prior architectural sample.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
