Skopje’s Mega Block: modern architecture as an art of grafting
The formative idea of “grafting” or “graftage” is originally a horticultural technique of inserting tissues from one plant to another in order for them to join together and continue to grow as a single plant. The technique of “graftage” in architectural context would mean that a new architecture is being interpolated over an old one, but by a set of treatments used, the different architectural interventions function as a single entity. It is presented in this text in the context of modern architecture of one singular urban block of Skopje.
Key words
Grafting – Modern architecture – Skopje

Dispositif
Michel Foucault
“What I’m trying to pick out with this term is, firstly, a thoroughly heterogeneous ensemble consisting of discourses, institutions, architectural forms, regulatory decisions, laws, administrative measures, scientific statements, philosophical, moral and philanthropic propositions–in short, the said as much as the unsaid. Such are the elements of the apparatus. The apparatus itself is the system of relations that can be established between these elements.” “The Confession of the Flesh” (1977) interview. In Power/Knowledge Selected Interviews and Other Writings (ed Colin Gordon), 1980: pp. 194–228.

People from Skopje
MEPSO lifting
Short description of the work
Quasi il 10% dei fondi del programma Skopje 2014 è stato impiegato per la costruzione di statue monumentali. La città si è popolata di persone inanimate: santi, poeti, re e guerrieri a cavallo. Nel frattempo le persone vere, con tutte le difficoltà, continuano a esistere.
Il piano di rinnovamento urbano Skopje 2014 comprende molti interventi di ricostruzione delle facciate. Un esempio è il rivestimento eclettico che ha subito l’edificio MEPSO: come in un lifting si sovrascrive prendendo come riferimento un’idea di bellezza generica e fuori contesto.

SK-SK
Short description of the work
L’operazione SK2014 si sta attrezzando per far scomparire testimonianze importanti del modernismo di Skopje. Ma c’è ancora qualche speranza di salvezza nella lotta tra il “bene” e il “lato oscuro”.
Si vuole creare idealmente un dialogo tra il progetto contemporaneo e gli edifici del moderno a Skopje. Una convivenza possibile che porti un valore aggiunto al patrimonio esistente e non il contrario.
L’intento del disegno è fornire uno spunto per cercare di far notare come una seconda vita sia possibile per determinati edifici che caratterizzano Skopje, senza doverne cancellare il carattere originale, basta vederli da un altro punto di vista.
La luna è davvero l’unica speranza per salvaguardare il brutalismo macedone?
Invertire il punto di vista può permetterci di vedere tutto in un’ottica differente.

Investigating Skopje 2014
Short description of the work
Skopje 2014 is a construction project financed by the Macedonian Government with the superficial aim of strengthening the national identity and the recollection of the antique past. Indeed the construction project serves as a tool for money-laundering and therefore also is the base for the in Macedonia widely spread clientelism. During a monthly stay in Skopje, the authors obtained a picture of the situation. They captured their impressions by the use of imagery and text.

The Bedrock
The Bedrock II
Short description of the work
The development of an intervention realized on the same spot: before, during and after the excavation of the soil for the future house.
The excavated soil, that was supposed to be filled with the concrete in order to become a proper house foundation but continued to wait that moment, represented my attempt to built a house in the same age in which my father was when he started to build his. Under the influence of weather conditions, the significant amount of already excavated soil has returned back in its original state, leaving the visible traces of previous intervention that took place at the same spot several months earlier. Re-engagement of close friends and family members, in order to re-excavate the soil witnesses of investing, sometimes, Sisyphus effort and patience to overcome current possibilities and chances.
