Why Atlas?

WHY ATLAS?
May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."
Content that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally.
Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. banners, pop—ups or other distracting noise.
It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web.

LUCA SIRONI - GIOVANNI MUZIO
"The design on paper is a means to an end, a very important one no doubt, but still a tool to build with. As an end in itself, it is not architecture. It becomes something else, A painting, a drawing or a metaphor. Above all, I consider myself a 'builder' in the ancient and everlasting sense of the term." Giovanni Muzio Divisare box set #31 is an homage to the architectural legacy by Giovanni Muzio, one of the most productive and influential Italian architects of the Twentieth Century. His residential and public buildings shaped the look of modern Milan. In a night tour around the city, Milanese photographer Luca Sironi offers us his personal look to five housing blocks by Muzio on edge between seductive voyeurism and distract passing by. Aside, a short collection of writings collects an interview with Muzio and a critical essay about his houses by Giorgio Muratore.

MARIO FERRARA - CORVINO + MULTARI
"Order is not image, but a constructive order based on the principle of architecture as a system, which is able to hold together, in balance, in medias res, the reasons of the city and those of the architectural object. To do this, the language becomes terse, generic, eschewing that neurosis of invention at all costs that – if we look closely – is the limit of contemporary modernism." Vincenzo Corvino & Giovanni Multari Box Set #21 presents Italian photographer Mario Ferrara's photo essay on the architecture by Neapolitan firm Corvino + Multari. Close friends, the authors participate in the narration of the context where the five projects are located. Rural and urban landscapes of Campania region is the natural palimpsest of Corvino + Multari's works. Mario Ferrara's eyes capture the dialogue between architecture and environment evoking intangible tensions of each locus. In the same way, architects insist on an architectural approach rooted in the daily experimentation of matter and space transform ordinary gestures into masterly designs.
