Fotomontaggi italiani

2020

Abstract

This article presents a selection of collages by contemporary Italian architects, featured as visual discourses rather than representations of specific projects. Created through both analog and digital techniques, these images explore architecture as a conceptual practice rooted in montage, photorealism, and abstraction. Introduced by a Warburg-inspired visual atlas tracing a genealogy of Italian collage, the works engage with historical strategies of plausibility and surprise. By combining familiar everyday settings with non-functional architectural insertions, the collages generate a critical tension between realistic technique and conceptual estrangement—reinforcing their narrative and symbolic potency.

Collage

Collage (kə'lɑːʒ, from the coller, "to glue" or "to stick together";) is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. (Compare with pastiche, which is a "pasting" together.) A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

Décollage

Décollage, in art, is the opposite of collage; instead of an image being built up of all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, tearing away or otherwise removing, pieces of an original image. The French word "décollage" translates into English literally as "take-off" or "to become unglued" or "to become unstuck". Examples of décollage include etrécissements and cut-up technique. A similar technique is the lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath.

Integrated circuit design

Integrated circuit design, or IC design, is a sub-field of electronics engineering, encompassing the particular logic and circuit design techniques required to design integrated circuits, or ICs. ICs consist of miniaturized electronic components built into an electrical network on a monolithic semiconductor substrate by photolithography. IC design can be divided into the broad categories of digital and analog IC design. Digital IC design is to produce components such as microprocessors, FPGAs, memories (RAM, ROM, and flash) and digital ASICs.
