Proporre la data del 2028 non è casuale: essa coincide con il centesimo anniversario della nostra rivista.

Cercare di orientarsi sui trent’anni a venire ci sembra ragionevole poiché tale lasso di tempo corrisponde

a una ragionevole pianificazione, con probabilità di sviluppo prevedibili.

Abbiamo quindi chiesto ad alcune personalità di delineare il proprio punto di vista su come, nei rispettivi

campi, potrebbe presentarsi l’anno 2028. Più che ottenere uno scenario da fantascienza, ci interessava sapere

quali sono, a loro avviso, le premesse necessarie e le trasformazioni da mettere in atto già oggi per

potersi avviare verso un futuro più equilibrato. Ecco le risposte. F.B.

The date 2028 was not picked out of a hat: it will be the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of this magazine.It is reasonable, we feel, to try to find our way into these thirty years to come, inasmuch as the time lapse is not

too long for the contemplation of reasonable planning, with foreseeable probabilities of development.

So we asked a few prominent figures to predict, from their points of view and respective fields, what the year 2028

might be like. We wanted not so much to build up a sci-fi scenario as to find out what, in their opinion,

are the necessary steps and transformations to be implemented now, to enable us to start out towards

a more balanced future. Here are the answers. F.B.

The complex housing a concert hall and a theater is

located in Nagaoka, on a site in t he center of the newly

developed cultural/educational district which includes

the prefectural museum of modern arts, the art universi-

ty and a park. The building’s most unique feature lies in

its gently curving, vast roof that stretches along the dis-

tance of 150 meters. A sloping man-made mound rises

from the front park toward the foyer. The space under the

roof is divided into two layers; the upper floor includes

the entrance hall and foyer, while the lower floor

includes practice rooms and dressing rooms. The roof is

made of flat concrete slabs supported by randomly

arranged columns. These columns and rays of light from

the courtyard create a forest-like atmosphere under the

large roof. The concert hall seats 700 people and the

theater 450, with adequate facilities and equipment for

the performance of different arts. Another feature of the

complex is the provision of ten practice rooms of varying

sizes which are also used for small concerts. With these

practice rooms open to the public, the complex serves as

a base for cultural and artistic activities. The concert

hall, which is oval in plan view, is walled with corrugat-

ed panes of translucent glass. At night, the entire struc-

ture glows like a huge lantern from inside, while casting

soft light onto its surroundings. The gentle profile of theconcert hall marks a vivid contrast with the theater bel-

fry. (From the project report)
