Underst<strong>and</strong>ing such mechanisms of the cerebral apparatus allows interpreting the articulate creative path<br />
that is triggered each time one intervenes on a topos in order to transform it according to a determined<br />
framework of human aspirations.<br />
Beginning from the primeval idea, it becomes necessary to define heuristic strategies toward the search for<br />
equilibrium between markedly different elements that are ascribable to the identity features of the place, to<br />
the fecundity of forms, to functional, <strong>cultural</strong> instances <strong>and</strong> to technological innovations.<br />
It is a kind of journey without a definite route or pre-established destination <strong>and</strong>, perhaps, without any<br />
effective conclusion, which is undertaken through stimulating all the systems <strong>and</strong> mechanisms of our<br />
cerebral apparatus, also those of our unconscious, with implied <strong>and</strong> latent potential.<br />
The inherent danger in this type of journey, each time new <strong>and</strong> different, is that it may trigger a certain<br />
inhibition of creative capacities, almost a kind of ‘ideational apraxia’, due to various causes, among which<br />
attitudes of passive adaptation to technological innovations, at times extreme, or a certain satisfaction in the<br />
unconditional repetition, often unjustified, of recognizably autographic forms, seem to prevail in contemporary<br />
production.<br />
