Projecto para uma cidade, localizada no nordeste de Itália, com capacidade para 100 000 habitantes. Utopia de puro deleite.

GUMMAVITTA é o nome. Deriva da aglutinação das palavras GUMMA, uma distorção da palavra «gamma» (gama) e VITTA, «vida» em italiano.

GUMMAVITTA é a génese. A cidade surge a partir de um ponto geométrico, obtido na intercepção do «cardus et decumanus», floresta e rio. Neste ponto cruzam-se 3 eixos, formando a praça central, e definindo as 6 principais direcções de movimentos.

GUMMA é o eixo. Passando pelo ponto geométrico, ao longo do rio Decumanus. ADRIÁTICO é o eixo que passa por esse ponto, paralelo ao mar Adriático. VENEZIA é o eixo que liga o ponto geométrico à cidade de Veneza.

ARYADN é o nome da ilha no rio DECUMANUS. A forma circular representa o infinito, pois a ilha é o centro religioso.

GUMMAVITTA é o resultado de experiências, de livros lidos e de ruas percorridas; de desenhos e de questões.

Project for a city, set in the north east of Italy, with capacity for 100 000 inhabitants. Utopia for fun.

GUMMAVITTA is the name. Derives from the addition of the words GUMMA, a distortion of the word gama (gamut), and VITTA, «life» in italian.

GUMMAVITTA is the genesis. The city begins exactly in a geometrical point, the intersection of the «cardus and decumanus», forest and river. At this point 3 axis cross, forming the central plaza, and define the 6 main directions of movement.

GUMMAVITTA is the axis. Connecting the geometrical central point to the city of Venice. ADRIATICO is the axis passing this point, parallel to the Adriatic sea. GUMMA is the axis along the Decumanus river, also passing the central point.

ARYADN . is the name of the island on the Decumanus river. The circular shape represents infinity, for this is the religious centre.

GUMMAVITTA is the result of experiences, of books read and streets walked; of drawings and questions.

Notas de um gummavitto:

Em Gummavitta as pessoas vestem roupas diferentes; vestem sorrisos e calçam paixão.
Não suportam poluição e detestam ruído, embora sejam loucas por som.
Gostam de ouvir as crianças brincar e o vento soprar.
Todos gostam de caminhar e a bicicleta põe toda a gente em forma.
Em Gummavitta os esgotos funcionam mesmo quando chove.
As distancias são curtas, os comprimentos calculados, e os cumprimentos abundantes.
O rio Decumanus é de todos e os ambientalistas mudaram de ramo.
Os espaços verdes são extensos e os canais de televisão cortam despesas.
Os gummavittos gostam de se divertir e desconhecem o significado da expressão "qb".
Em Gummavitta nunca faltam motivos para viver, e eu vivo lá... em Gummavitta!

Observations

Amei... Reserva um espaço para dormir em Gummavitta e serei feliz. Criarei a minha horta biológica e passarei o resto do dia a pintar, a ler, a conversar. Imagino um espaço de convívio comunitário, onde tomaremos as decisões importantes sobre a nossa cidade e apoiaremos todos os nossos irmãos... Leva-nos contigo

Eu sou absolutamente apaixonado pela gummavitta. Tanto mas tanto que rivaliza com Lisboa! :) Pena ser utopia... mas que tédio seria se vivessemos sem um ou outra utopia!

Welcome to my ongoing diary of thoughts and projects.
Here I sketch the storyboard of 2 characters, trapped in my body and linked to the world through my senses. They control my brain in a constant search for life waves, the eternal energy that feeds their souls.
Gummavitta is the explorer, the architect and the scientist. He searches the hemispheres of the earth, the mind and the human condition.
Mummagumma is the traveler, the painter and the dancer who collects Gummavitta´s experiences and memories and applies them to achieve connections. Connections with himself, which means you and I, us and them.
