Urban centers are an expression of our collective will, a powerful blend of economic and environmental choices, private visions and public dreams. The SS36 was established with the following path: Milano, Lecco, Chiavenna Spluga, Swiss Border. It's a huge urban area. It's a very productive and entrepreneurial area, characterized by important roads. One of the main element of the ss36 area is loud and continue noise, generated by cars and tracks. The noise is often associated with the majority of the phases of the activity related to the human development cycle. Transportation system -including roads, airports, airplanes, trains, ships - is one of the most common source of noise present in all types of landscape. The streets deserve special attention, because they are a widespread and fast growing source of noise. Although the surface covered by roads is relatively small, their effects on the environment, including noise, extend well beyond the roads itself.

The characteristics of noise change substantially depending on the source that generates it. The noise is identified in its amplitude (for example, the volume), in frequency, in time and in its spatiality. The interaction of these features determines in a strict sense the impact of noise on wild animals. The majority of anthropogenic noise sources have an energy concentrated in low frequencies (<250 Hz), which can reach long distances with little loss of energy. This noise is also more difficult to control using conventional noise abatement structures, such as reflective or absorbent walls along highways.

SS36

è un progetto di ricerca interdisciplinare sulla strada statale 36

SS36

è la strada statale che percorre il paesaggio urbano e pedemontano della Brianza Nord, dalla periferia di Milano alla Valtellina e la Svizzera , la Milano-Lecco-Chiavenna, che ingloba la vecchia superstrada Valassina.

SS36

è un progetto che coinvolge un gruppo di ricerca nel campo delle arti visive e sonore (curatori, architetti, fotografi, artisti, musicisti) per osservare il territorio complesso e articolato della strada statale 36 e le sue mutazioni paesaggistiche, culturali, sociali.

A partire da una indagine site-specific, SS36 vuole raccogliere proposte e interpretazioni del paesaggio contemporaneo - del suo presente e della sua storia più recente - con progetti inediti e interdisciplinari che costruiranno un archivio in divenire, per un tentativo di lettura articolato in diversi linguaggi e formati.
