Abstract

Have we irreparably lost what was called among us the “Realisme”that preceded the Escola de Barcelona, and largely heldand also transcended?.

If somewhere we can take it up again - and it is urgent to doso-is in the attention on the steps of the Lo-Fi, the architectureof the low fidelity proposed by Navarra in his Parco Lineale inCatalgirone, Magna Grecia, 1999, that he presented togetherwith other colleagues at the last Conference of the Departmentof Architectural Projects of ETSAB.

Now in the bar of the School of Architecture of Syracuse, Navarramaintains high fidelity to all the essentials -sequence,construction, materiality, texture-, and leaves everything elseopen the use and the user, to the variable.

It is economical in spending and generous in conception.It shows a way to go, of course, in times of crisis.
