The book deals with a quite unknown but very dense building: a
small kindergarden by Giuseppe Vaccaro. A characteristic way of
thinking architecture is here expressed. In those years Vaccaro is
involved in experiments on the topic of circular form or centric
space. The relation among the geometrical "mark" and typology allow
- such a scientific test - to seek and study reciprocal
interferences. In the kindergarden the "mark" is the fence,
expressing centrifugal space. This book investigate geometric
schemes and variations in building to the difficult moment of
refurbishment, that have made more damages than benefits, spoiling
some important parts. Damages can be measured looking at the actual
situation and the model here published. Watching the building and
its site today stand out clear the intention of the architect: to
build a place with as less parts as possible: a circumference, a
line and a curved plan as a roof. The mysterious fence set in the
park; its role is to "isolate" something as a clearing in the
forest. Remembering the Laugier Cabane rustique, the kindergarden
place the work of Vaccaro in the field of modern architecture. Seen
today, the sketches and plans of this strange building seem
contemporary. Their freshness make them a Koolhas or Hertzberger
XXI century drawing.
