Wooden installation, a symbol in Milan. The borderline view between the inside and outside

The boundary between the inside and outside of the building, between the design of the interior and the architecture has always been a non-existent and fragile boundary made up of holes and solid gaps, windows and doors that are always ready to open. Architect Luca Scacchetti turned his attention to this inconsistent and yet fundamental boundary. It signifies considering something that is both hybrid and a separation that is a connection creating an installation for the 2013 Fuorisalone in Milan, which will be held in the seventeenth-century courtyard of the State University of Milan

From the viewpoint of what is visible from the outside, in the city and in the landscape, we can see what is visible inside and in our homes we can look beyond the walls, beyond the windows and openings. Architecture is nothing more than what we see from our home windows and as we walk out into the city, we look at it as the containers of our rooms

The concept of the continuous passage between an outside and an inside and between inside and outside through movement, by " progressing towards ", but above all through sight and its continuous movement of the point of observation is the basis of the project

A sort of telescope gallery, optical chamber, or caterpillar that, as it moves forward, raises its head to point upwards towards Richini's loggia or again, a hollow trunk into which to insert itself and discover, as in fairy tales, that it is seen differently from within the world. Outside everything is equivalent, from inside you can select a view and focus on it, you can look deeply with a different intensity

A building that widens towards the center of the court rising about a meter and a half. This symbolic building is entirely made of prefabricated wooden panels with different finishes or wooden strips, or plaster or zinc sheet, this building/observation point or telescopic sighting point is completely recyclable and meets all the current and pressing issues: ecology, lightness, prefabrication, energy sustainability

A series of drawings and etching sketches of its origins are installed inside it, on a wall made of wood, while a bench on which to sit allows you to observe the seventeenthcentury external architecture and at the same time an abstract and innovative decoration on the wooden floor

The building designed by the architectural studio Scacchetti Associati is a sort of exemplification of how wood design can now be used to carry out any desired design and aesthetic intervention, symbolically equivalent to a macro-scale optical instrument: it can be looked at from the outside and offers different and dreamed looks from the inside
