abstract:
Simboli e archetipi della tradizione abitativa islamica riemergono nelle coperture tessili modulari di SOM per l’Hajj Terminal dell’aeroporto internazionale King Abdulaziz (1981). Il tappeto orientale è casa e tempio, e i “cappelli” conici di Jeddah raccolgono la tradizione nomade delle tende dei pellegrini in viaggio verso la Mecca, costruendo la trama dell’elemento che custodisce, dalle teorie di Gottfried Semper e Alois Riegl, il più antico significato di costruzione e protezione | Symbols and archetypes of Islamic housing traditions emerge in SOM's modular textile coverings for the Hajj Terminal in King Abdulaziz International Airport (1981). The oriental carpet is home and temple, and the conical “hats” of Jeddah reflect the nomadic tradition of the tents of pilgrims travelling to Mecca, constructing the fabric of the element that preserves, according to the theories of Gottfried Semper and Alois Riegl, the most ancient meaning of construction and protection.
