I progetti realizzati sono organizzati in tre capitoli: opere di misericordia (interna), opere di carità (architettonica), opere di virtù (urbana). Boschi compie in tal modo una rilettura del proprio lavoro contestualizzando le opere con riferimenti culturali che ampliano gli orizzonti strettamente disciplinari. I tredici lavori presentati e svolti in vent’anni di attività si offrono, infine, come una continua opera di ri-scrittura, guidata da una lettura meditata di strutture, spazi e luoghi attraverso un lavoro di confronto con la realtà degli edifici. Accumulando tracce, segni e sovrapposizioni Boschi dà vita ad un recupero stratigrafico del costruito. Nel volume ogni progetto è presentato da un saggio che fornisce una chiave di lettura attraverso il racconto, le citazioni, il confronto con architetture simili; suggestioni letterarie, pittoriche e cinematografiche permettono così un’assimilazione fra tessiture murarie e fonti narrative, fra testo lapideo e testo letterario. Nel lavoro di Boschi ricorrono alcuni temi chiave, come la ricerca di una complessità dello spazio o il pieno equilibrio tra disegno e materiali, sia nuovi che antichi. Nei progetti più recenti è ben percepibile la sicurezza di “ri-scrittura” raggiunta dall’architetto e la sua capacità di incorporare nel sedime dell’esistente la meditata lezione di antichi e nuovi maestri. I contributi introduttivi di Marco Mulazzani e Beppe Finessi guidano alla comprensione del linguaggio progettuale dell’architetto.

Abstract
The projects, are organized into three chapters: works of mercy (internal), works of charity (architectural), works of virtue (urban). In this way Boschi reinterprets his achievement by contextualizing his works with cultural references that extend their strictly professional horizons. The thirteen projects built in twenty years’ work are presented, finally, as a continuous work of re-writing, guided by a thoughtful interpretation of structures, spaces and places through the exploration of the reality of the buildings. By accumulating traces, signs and superimpositions, Boschi recovers the stratigraphy of the buildings. The book presents each project in an essay that provides a key to its interpretation through narrative, quotations and comparisons with similar architectures. In this way literary, pictorial and cinematic evocations permit an assimilation between walls textures and narrative sources, between stone text and literary text. Some key themes are recurrent Boschi’s work, such as the complexity of space or the careful balance struck between design and materials, both old and new. Clearly perceptible in his most recent projects is the architect’s confident “re-writing” and his ability to incorporate into the existing stratifications the meditated lessons of the old and new masters. The introductory articles by Marco Mulazzani and Beppe Finessi provide a guide to the understanding of the architect's vocabulary in his projects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
