This work unfolds by means of a particular structure and organization of space‚ movement and sound‚ and the geometrical use of the place where it happens.
It focuses upon some events and mechanisms of daily urban life that can provoke changes and alterations.
We have defined these mechanisms to be Wind‚ not in an atmospheric sense‚ but as the inducer and motor of changes and sound and physical dynamics.
Like atmospheric Wind‚ also in this case‚ what acts is invisible; appearance‚ physically and sonorously‚ is the result of a passage in an urban landscape.
