Through two critical contributions, this text looks at the evolution and role that have been assumed today by the façade envelope in contemporary architectonic output. The ever-more radical separation between structure and shell entrusts to the latter the expressive and communicative functions of the building. This appears to represent a belated victory for that bekleidung prinzip which, though first expressed a century ago, opened the discussion on an articulated and problematic phenomenon, whose basis we can investigate today with technical knowhow and new theoretical knowledge
Il testo indaga attraverso i due contributi critici l’evoluzione ed il ruolo oggi assunto dall’involucro di facciata nella produzione architettonica contemporanea. La sempre più radicale separazione tra struttura e involucro, ripone in quest’ultimo le funzioni espressive e comunicative dell’edificio. Ciò sembra rappresentare una tardiva rivincita di quel bekleidung prinzip che, pur enunciato un secolo fa, apriva la discussione su un fenomeno articolato e problematico, di cui oggi è possibile indagare le ragioni, con cognizione tecnica e nuova consapevolezza teorica
