An invite to transgress: Francesca Romana Dell’Aglio

Francesca Romana Dell’Aglio focuses on the making of architecture as a process open to accidents, revisions and mistakes. Marco Frascari talked about drawing as an act of cosmopoiesis – the art of worldmaking. This, however, was distant from the meaning of disegno as a divine interpretation of reality, and it is instead more akin to a personal, sensorial act of imagination: it is an act of embodiment. This definition allows us to interpret the act of design as an acquired habit, intended more as a repetition that creates an attitude for a change. Architects, as human beings, tend to follow and apply rules, operate within boundaries and limits, yet we all have an hidden impulse to disobey and transgress, to consciously break with the system. This paper focus on the making of architecture as a process open to accidents, revisions and mistakes. In one word it exposes architecture to the act of transgression as an act of design. FRANCESCA ROMANA DELL’AGLIO is an architect, writer and educator. She currently teaches History and Theory Studies at the Architectural Association and runs design studios at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Art, where she is concluding her PhD on rituals, habits and collective space in London.
