COMPARING AMERICAN DESIGN IN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE, INTERIOR DESIGN WITH THAT OF THE ITALIANS.<\/span><\/p>

By Lorenzo Sgnaolin\u00a0<\/p>

In my life, I have always been fascinated by Italian architecture and design. I believe Italy has more colors and style in its objects and monuments compared to America. For example, St Mark\u2019s Basilica in Venice because has a long history that we can hardly imagine.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

In particular, Venice is famous for a type of glass where artisans work with a flame to shape it into a variety of forms and dimension, this is called Murano glass. Murano is one of the 118 islands of Venice, specialized in glassmaking. It is rare and expensive, I used to have a Murano glass object at home, but I broke it on my head when I was 10 years old\u2026. for no reason.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

American design, on the other hand, inspires me with its references to the Far west and old TV series, featuring antique yet elegant furniture.\u00a0<\/span>Some examples that come to mind are Friends, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother.\u00a0<\/p>

The first time I studied Greek sculptures, my mind was illuminated by the simplicity and forms of the figures representing gods like Zeus, Poseidone, Athena, Apollo and others.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

I believe the art in the world, allows people to imagine what our ancestors saw in their daily lives represented through simple sculptures.<\/span><\/p>

In italiano<\/b><\/p>

Nella mia vita sono sempre stato affascinato dall\u2019architettura e dal design italiano. <\/span>Credo che l\u2019Italia ha pi\u00f9 colori e stile nei suoi oggetti e monumenti rispetto all\u2019America. <\/span>Per esempio, la Basilica di San Marco a Venezia perch\u00e9 ha una lunga storia che difficilmente possiamo immaginare.<\/span><\/p>

In particolare, Venezia \u00e8 famosa per un tipo di vetro in cui gli artigiani lavorano con una fiamma, in una variet\u00e0 di forme e dimensioni, questo \u00e8 chiamato vetro di Murano. <\/span>Murano, \u00e8 una delle 118 isole di Venezia, specializzata nella lavorazione del vetro. <\/span>\u00c8 raro e costoso, ho usato per avere un oggetto di vetro di Murano a casa, ma l\u2019ho rotto sulla mia testa quando avevo 10 anni\u2026 senza motivo.<\/span><\/p>

Il design americano, invece mi ispira con i suoi riferimenti al far West e vecchie serie TV, con mobili antichi ma eleganti. <\/span>Alcuni esempi che mi vengono in mente sono: Friends, the Big bang theory, How I Met Your Mother.<\/span><\/p>

La prima volta che ho studiato le sculture greche, la mia mente \u00e8 stata illuminata dalla semplicit\u00e0 e forme delle figure che rappresentano dei come Zeus, Poseidone, Atena, Apollo e altri.<\/span><\/p>

Credo che l\u2019arte nel mondo, permette alle persone di immaginare ci\u00f2 che i nostri antenati hanno visto nella loro vita quotidiana rappresentata attraverso semplici sculture.<\/span><\/p>

Comparing American design in architecture, furniture, interior design with that of the Italians. Who are the Italian designers whom you admire?<\/b><\/p>

By\u00a0Safarov Ramin<\/p>

Earth, one of the most significant part of our existence, has made a really amazing evolution during billions of years. However, the thing that may be more incredible than that is how humanity adapted to these changes.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

\"\"Looking back, humanity has made a truly impressive development into our living conditions during these years. From my point of view we should be really thankful to people who took part in this development such as architects, designers, and others, because of them we are living in astonishing countries, cities, houses, and so on.Comparing American and Italian design in architecture, furniture, and interior may be tricky for me, as I am not really know with them, but from my perspective the American houses are more associated with 2-floor building with a big enough garden, and big metropolitan cities with a lot of unbelievable sky sketchers, while Italy has a lot of little minimalistic houses, sometimes near or on the water, tiny streets and a lot of historical buildings.<\/span><\/p>

Finally I would like to say that American and Italian architecture is really different but we should also take in the consideration that Italy is an older country meanwhile America is known as younger one.<\/span><\/p>

Traduzione Italiana<\/span><\/p>

La Terra, una delle parti pi\u00f9 significative della nostra esistenza, ha fatto una vera e propria evoluzione straordinaria durante miliardi di anni. Tuttavia, ci\u00f2 che potrebbe essere ancora pi\u00f9 incredibile di questo \u00e8 come l’umanit\u00e0 si sia adattata a questi cambiamenti.
Guardando indietro, l’umanit\u00e0 ha fatto uno sviluppo davvero impressionante nelle nostre condizioni di vita nel corso di questi anni. Dal mio punto di vista, dovremmo essere davvero grati a tutte le persone che hanno partecipato a questo sviluppo, come architetti, designer e altri, perch\u00e9 grazie a loro viviamo in paesi, citt\u00e0, case straordinarie, e cos\u00ec via. Confrontare il design americano e italiano nell’architettura, nei mobili e negli interni potrebbe essere difficile per me, poich\u00e9 non sono molto esperto in materia, ma dal mio punto di vista le case americane sono pi\u00f9 associate a edifici a due piani con un giardino abbastanza grande, e a grandi citt\u00e0 metropolitane con molti incredibili grattacieli, mentre l’Italia ha molte piccole case minimaliste, a volte vicino o sull’acqua, piccole strade e molti edifici storici.
Infine, vorrei dire che l’architettura americana e quella italiana sono davvero diverse, ma dovremmo anche prendere in considerazione il fatto che l’Italia \u00e8 un paese pi\u00f9 antico, mentre l’America \u00e8 conosciuta come un paese pi\u00f9 giovane.
