NO, RENZO PIANO NO! Morandi wasn't enough for us?

Engineer Raffaele Giovanelli. Emeritus professor of engineering at the Polytechnic. This bridge is a Roman bridge that crosses the Foglia river, in Pesaro, near the sea. The superstructure was medieval. Let's say it was because during the retreat the Germans tried to make it collapse with the right amount of explosives. There were two other "modern" bridges nearby, one road and one railway. They were destroyed…

  • given that I am neither an architect nor an engineer yet passionate about urban planning and architecture… I want to express my opinion , in Italy star architects or star engineers like morandi piano fuksas and so on sometimes do great things but also serious mistakes, mistakes that cost a lot of money, see the fuksas cloud or the serious news of the collapse of an airport designed by another star architect(in both cases it could be a mistake made by a geologist or politicians who made huge waste) and sometimes, as in the Morandi case, human lives, but since they have a name they have a reputation ,no one knows why it was earned , no one dares criticize their actions. There is the so-called awe,similar to what prevents us from criticizing Popes who are Freemasons and who cover pedophiles. In the case of Genoa I read a short article which included the proposal of a little-known architect or engineer whose name I don't remember, a trio of underground tunnels dug with a mega mole is proposed which, passing from one side of the city to the other, will connect subway trains ,the first ,private car traffic,the second,heavy vehicles the third. in my opinion this is better than the pylon hanging over the houses , Why? if a suspended viaduct collapses, in addition to the deaths of the people in the vehicles transiting on it, the occupants of the buildings also die. In the case of Genoa it did not happen by pure chance that the pylons destroyed one or more’ buildings below. E’ while it is true that the galleries can expand , but traffic will have to pass somewhere? you who think are enough 43 piling? what if they died in 2 Slowly the bridge did it with 2 pylons only? what's the point of all this’ ? the starchitect has delimited the territory like dogs ? whoever governs now will be intimidated by the famous name or will choose with foresight? speaking of cement, I would like to launch a debate …but research and development does not allow us to find a replacement for this material? since it only lasts 50 years you can’ know when other concrete bridges expire? because those of the Romans are still standing afterwards 2000 years? what they made them with?
