“ENVIRONMENTAL STATION” Edi Sanna

The use of central perspective allows the eyes and mind to observe the phenomenal objects towards infinity. Thanks to it I asked to compare what I see from what we do not observe that in order to consider is something that I know anyway. The Perspective is a geometric construction and therefore a fiction whose goal is to get the effect of reality, as a means must be absorbed and then deliver, to free themselves from the laws that are rational geometric and specific human and as such observe only one target at the instant. To note, though immersed in a single thought, one must consider that there is another, much more, everything in that instant of observation can not account for human failure. Decondizionandosi so, the picture becomes more truthful, more honest and balanced in our thinking and all. Then, thinking towards the infinite, one can see that there are neither horizontal nor vertical if not by coincidence. That the horizon is curved. That the point of observation is the only focus for the observer. That it lines branching off in all directions, towards the infinite, and towards the center point of focus. All these lines are building a box, in the center of which there are the eyes of the observer and then his body and his thought. Each individual is locked into this box. And be aware of the existence of this box is positive, allows the grunt on the street and so instinctive and be heard in the woods as the forest.

The work Environmental Station is a particular form of high stone built with the Prospect Center which is a forest, hence the user relates not only as an observer, but may enter it and cross it. Its placement is planned for the lawn of Piazza Pompeo Castelli in Milan and is oriented so that the focus points in the north to the mountains, toward the forest. Between Castle Place in Milan and the mountains there is a forest nature reserve by the WWF. It is the forest of Vanzago, "an oasis in the desert, a relic of the great Po primary forests, which reminds us that only 200 years ago there was still room for wild nature around Milan. In fact, this forest is a remnant of what was originally the territory, now one of the areas with the highest concentration of industrial activities of the Milanese hinterland. Thousands of years ago, forests covered the whole valley of the River Po Later the Etruscans, Gauls, Romans, the economic activities of the Signorie since the century, industrialization caused the irreversible deforestation.
