Barbarano Vicentino (VI)
Nella piccola chiesa di Santa Maria Immacolata a Barbarano Vicentino il progetto di interior design ha restituito un senso di linearità, essenzialità e decoro all’ambito dell’altare e del presbiterio, che negli anni ero stato compromesso dall’accumulo disordinato e ridondante di materiali e ornamenti eterogenei.

Flavio Albanese
founder & partnerFlavio Albanese (1951), is founder and president of ASA studio albanese. He is a self-educated designer, by combining his passion for contemporary art with the practical experience of an artisan-architect. Having come into contact with Carlo Scarpa, he learns from him to avoid an “a priori” approach to design, adapting on a case-by-case basis to the occasions, themes and contexts. He has held courses at the École Polytechinique Fédérale in Lausanne and at the Art Institute in Chicago (1980), at Yale University (1983), at the University of Architecture in Delft (2005), at the University of Florida (2006), at the Fundacion Proa de Buenos Aires (2008) and frequently at the most important Italian universities. He has also held two workshops at the international summer school of the Architecture School in Venice in 2009 and 2010. He was a member of the Confindustria Vicenza committee from 1998 to 2001, the Domus Academy Scientific Committee (2004-2005) and the MIart Committee of Honour (2009 and 2010), director of the Officina del Porto di Palermo (2006-2008), vice president of the Andrea Palladio Architecture Firms International Centre (2011-2015) and president of the Fondazione Teatro Comunale Città di Vicenza (2010-2016). From 2007 to 2010 he was asked to head Domus, the prestigious international architecture, design and contemporary art magazine. Active since 1971, in 1987 he founds with his brother Franco ASA studio albanese. The studio's projects were published by the most most important architecture and design magazines: the Neores project was selected for the Mies van der Rohe Foundation European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture (2003), and ASA studio albanese took part in Venice's Architecture Biennial in 2004 and 2006. Flavio is an avid reader and bibliophile (his library, which is open to the rest of the firm, contains more than 15.000 volumes) and he is a connoisseur and collector of contemporary art.

the small church of Santa Maria Immacolata in Ponte di Mossano (Municipality of Barbarano Mossano), was built at the beginning of the 20th century and still represents a very important address in the life of the small community of Ponte di Mossano.Nel corso di numerosi interventi di ammodernamento e di manutenzione sia l’altare che il presbiterio avevano visto sovrapporsi una serie di scelte materiali e stilistiche piuttosto inappropriate, legate principalmente alla necessità di rispondere a esigenze concrete senza poter contare su un’adeguata disponibilità di mezzi.L’obiettivo dell’intervento di interior è stato quello di uniformare e semplificare le opzioni stilistiche, riducendo la presenza di materiali e di soluzioni incoerenti, per sostituirle con un allestimento più omogeneo e lineare, costituito da legno massello di colore chiaro, modellato in forme semplici ed essenziali.Un ritorno all’idea del legno, che riveste un importante ruolo simbolico nella liturgia cristiana, e a quella di frugalità, entrambe reinterpretate in chiave contemporanea.
