SITE
Waters, willows and countryside are the key elements of the lands of Vicenza. This corner of Italy used to be a delightful place for the Venetian aristocracy and the families that had better served the Serenissima Republic of Venice in its heyday.
The fascination and calm of this place have nothing to do with the contemporary civilization. This is the cradle of late Renaissance and Neoclassicism. It is the birthplace of distinguished authors and artists. They masterfully took the baton of an ancient tradition that is now vivid and vibrant in Antonio Canova’s and Andrea Palladio’s works of art. Indeed, Vicenza and its hinterland were the atelier of the architect that more than any other – after Vitruvius– was able to influence the Western mindset and aesthetics. The Basilica Palladiana, the Palazzo del Capitaniato, the Teatro Olimpico are some of the masterpieces the city is scattered with. As stars of a magnificent firmament such architectures twinkle at the center of a diffused system of villas which countryside is their best frame and completion. The area of Vicenza is internationally renowned for its excellent jewelry-making and goldsmithing. However, this place is not just about memory and tradition.
The transition from one era to another has always been so fundamental and so fast that sometimes it is indistinguishable. In this challenge of transitioning to the age of knowledge, “work” becomes more of a social action than ever. Since more than ever, human life is defined in a flat structure, with unlimited growth, with concepts such as dedifferentiation, multiplicity, and deterritorialization, highlight the importance of event and social interaction.
In “Basilico” by using economic, spatial-activity, environmental and infrastructure development capacities, we believe in the integrity and multiplicity of the project. And making the homogeneity and multiplicity of the project as a tool for FITT`s global and local development.
Regarding this fact, making a suitable place for work has become the focus of gathering different cultural groups in order to help the development of public spaces in the region by dynamizing the economic cycle of this company.
