Marco Casagrande#Redrum

Casagrande was born in Turku, Finland, to a well-off Italian-Finnish Catholic family.{{Cite web |url=http://www.turunsanomat.fi/extra/?ts=1,3:1010:0:0,4:10:0:1:2001-01-27,104:10:64088,1:0:0:0:0:0: |title=Kohuttu palkkasoturi päätyi arkkitehdiksi |last=Heikka |first=Taneli |date=January 27, 2001 |website=Turun Sanomat |language=fi |archive-url=https://archive.today/20070930204923/http://www.turunsanomat.fi/extra/?ts=1,3:1010:0:0,4:10:0:1:2001-01-27,104:10:64088,1:0:0:0:0:0: |archive-date=September 30, 2007 |access-date=}} He spent his childhood in Ylitornio in Finnish Lapland, but went to school in Karis, a southern Finland small town, before moving to Helsinki to study architecture.

Casagrande claimed that he volunteered for the Bosnian Croat Defence Forces HVO in 1993 after his service in the Finnish Army. He wrote under the pen name Luca Moconesi a controversial book Mostarin tien liftarit / Hitchhikers on the Road to Mostar (WSOY 1997)[http://www2.hs.fi/english/archive/news.asp?id=20010918IE19 The mind of a fanatic] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930035219/http://www2.hs.fi/english/archive/news.asp?id=20010918IE19 |date=2007-09-30 }} - Helsingin Sanomat, 18 September 2001 about his alleged experiences in the Bosnian Civil War, and based on descriptions of war crimes committed by the main character in the autobiographical book, he came under suspicion as a possible war criminal.{{Cite web|url=https://johnnyantora.com/|title=johnnyantora|website=johnnyantora.com}} The war crimes listed in the book include the murder of a civilian woman in her home, and plotting to destroy a dam to flood a village with civilian inhabitants. After coming under suspicion he claimed that the book was in fact a work of fiction.

Later Casagrande has expressed views condemning war crimes from a military perspective: "Those troops know that they are doing wrong. This is the very opposite of constructive collectivity and group spirit. Anybody can understand that it is by no measures militarily efficient to go kicking the doors of old people's home." Casagrande has been lecturing in the National Defence University of Finland since 2006 on courses of strategy and leadership.Anttalainen & Vasaramäki, Casagrande (KALPA, Maanpuolustuskorkeakoulu, 2011), 38-41.

From the early stages of his career Casagrande started to mix architecture with other disciplines of art and science landing with a series of ecologically conscious architectural installations around the world.[https://w3-mediapool.hm.edu/mediapool/media/fk01/fk01_lokal/aktuelles_7/veranstaltungen_8/vortragsreihess11/Casagrande-neu.pdf Architektur zwischen Landart und Konzeptkunst] - Hochschule Munchen 6/2011 After being a finalist in the UK journal Architectural Review{{'}}s Emerging Architecture competition (1999)[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3575/is_1234_206/ai_59177282]- Architectural Review 12/1999. {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120526062610/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3575/is_1234_206/ai_59177282|date=26 May 2012}} Marco Casagrande and his then partner Sami Rintala were invited to the Venice Biennial 2000. The New York Times reporter chose their project "60 Minute Man" as his personal favorite in the Biennale.{{cite web |url=http://www.contemporary-magazine.com/architech44.htm |title=New Page 1 |access-date=2007-05-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070808170851/http://www.contemporary-magazine.com/architech44.htm |archive-date=2007-08-08 }} - Adam Mornament: When Attitude Becomes Form Contemporary -magazine 2003 In the project Casagrande & Rintala had planted on oak forest in an abandoned barge on top of 60 minutes worth of composted human waste produced by the city of Venice. Casagrande's cross-over architectural work encompasses the realms of architecture, urban and environmental planning, environmental art, circuses and other artistic disciplines.[http://www.visionarythurrock.org.uk/docs/facilities/who.html#] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122164151/http://www.visionarythurrock.org.uk/docs/facilities/who.html|date=2008-11-22}} - Thurrock: A Visionary Brief in the Thames Gateway General Public Agency 2004

In search for subconscious architecture, real reality and connection between the modern man and nature. He believes that one shall not be blindfolded by stress, the surroundings of economics, the online access to entertainment or information. What is real is valuable.[http://www.berkeleyprize.org/essay/essay.cfm?year=2004&link=committee.cfm] - Berkeley Prize Committee and Jury University of California, Berkeley 2007

Casagrande's works and teaching are moving freely in-between architecture, urban and environmental design and science, environmental art and circus adding up into cross-over architectural thinking of commedia dell'architettura, a broad vision of built human environment tied into social drama and environmental awareness. There is no other reality than nature.

Casagrande was nominated as the professor of ecological urban planning in the Taiwan based Tamkang University after the Treasure Hill project, in which Casagrande changed an illegal settlement of urban farmers into an experimental laboratory of environmental urbanism.{{cite web |url=http://www.atelier-3.com/mediawiki/index.php/Design_2003.10_Treasure |title=Design 2003.10 Treasure - Architect HSIEH and Atelier-3 |access-date=2007-07-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629185757/http://www.atelier-3.com/mediawiki/index.php/Design_2003.10_Treasure |archive-date=2012-06-29 }} - Atelier 3: Treasure Hill 10/2003 The overhaul had mixed reactions from the community.

Casagrande views cities as complex energy organisms in which different overlapping layers of energy flows are determining the actions of the citizens as well as the development of the city. By mixing environmentalism and urban design Casagrande is developing methods of punctual manipulation of the urban energy flows in order to create an ecologically sustainable urban development towards the so-called 3rd Generation City (post industrial city).[http://urbandevelopmentbergen.blogspot.com/2010/04/interview-witm-m-casagrande-on-urban.html INTERVIEW WITH M. CASAGRANDE ON URBAN ACUPUNTURE]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} - Laurits Elkjær, Bergen School of Architecture 4/2010

Casagrande utilized the tenets of acupuncture: treat the points of blockage and let relief ripple throughout the body. More immediate and sensitive to community needs than traditional institutional forms of large scale urban renewal interventions would not only respond to localized needs, but do so with a knowledge of how citywide systems operated and converged at that single node. Release pressure at strategic points, release pressure for the whole city.[http://urbanapplications.org/urban-acupuncture/ Urban Acupuncture] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130416051344/http://urbanapplications.org/urban-acupuncture/ |date=2013-04-16 }} - Urban Applications - Community + Design Placemaking 2013

The theory of the Third Generation City views the post industrial urban condition as a machine ruined by nature including human nature and architects as design shamans merely interpreting what the bigger nature of the shared mind is transmitting.[http://www.epifanio.eu/nr9/eng/cross-over.html] - Marco Casagrande: Cross-over Architecture and the Third Generation City Epifanio 9 2008 This organic machine is kept alive through continuous and spontaneous ruining processes performed by citizens, to whom Casagrande refers to as 「anarchist gardeners」 by means of urban farming,[http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/the-community-gardens-of-taipei/2010/12/04 The Community Gardens of Taipei] - P2P Foundation 2010 illegal architecture [https://archive.today/20120526043446/http://www.architizer.com/en_us/blog/dyn/18012/peoples-architecture-in-taipei/ Illegal Architecture in Taipei] - Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan, Architizer 2011 and urban acupuncture.[http://issuu.com/ruin-academy/docs/anarchist_gardener_issue_one Anarchist Gardener Issue One 安那其建築園丁] – Nikita Wu: Anarchist Gardener 2010 The element of Ruin is viewed as something man-made having become part of nature.[http://www.dezeen.com/2009/06/26/chen-house-by-c-laboratory/ Chen House by C-Laboratory] - Dezeen 2009 The theory is developed in the independent multidisciplinary research centre Ruin Academy (2010-).[http://www.landezine.com/index.php/2010/11/ruin-academy/ Ruin Academy] - Landezine 2010

Third Generation City follows the first generation where humans' peacefully coexisted with nature and the second generation built walls and stone structures everywhere in an attempt to shut out nature. In the third generation however, nature, which can never be truly shut out, grows back through the ruins, through the cracks in the wall, sucking human nature back into the wider nature. Third Generation City concentrates on local knowledge and urban acupuncture rather than on centrally governed urban planning.[http://www.erenlai.tv/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4520%3Areturning-man-to-nature-and-reality&catid=697%3Amay-focus&Itemid=348&lang=en Returning Humans to Nature and Reality] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308211202/http://www.erenlai.tv/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4520:returning-man-to-nature-and-reality&catid=697:may-focus&Itemid=348&lang=en |date=2012-03-08 }} - Nick Couson, eRenlai 2011 Casagrande describes urban acupuncture as:

[a] cross-over architectural manipulation of the collective sensuous intellect of a city. City is viewed as multi-dimensional sensitive energy-organism, a living environment. Urban acupuncture aims into a touch with this nature.[http://kylemillermsis.wordpress.com/2011/09/25/urban-acupuncture-revivifying-our-cities-through-targeted-renewal/ Urban Acupuncture: Revivifying Our Cities Through Targeted Renewal] - Kyle Miller MSIS 9/2011 and Sensitivity to understand the energy flows of the collective chi beneath the visual city and reacting on the hot-spots of this chi.

Urban acupuncture is the weed and the acupuncture point is the crack. The possibility of the impact is total, connecting human nature as part of nature. The theory opens the door for uncontrolled creativity and freedom. Each citizen is enabled to join the creative process, feel free to use city space for any purpose and develop his environment according to his will.[http://www.stadsbyggnad.lth.se/fileadmin/stadsbyggnad/images/_1_Sudes_Book/_1_B5_webversion1.pdf Compost City] - Guoda Bardauskait p. 30-31, Sustainable Urban Design Journal 1 2011 The agents of the Third Generation City are sensitive citizens who feel the calling of a sustainable co-operation with the rest of the nature, sensitive citizen who are aware of the destruction that the insensitive modern machine is causing to nature including human nature.[http://www.asianurbanepicenters.com/?p=941 An alternative learning platform: Ruin Academy – Anarchist Gardener] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621053914/http://www.asianurbanepicenters.com/?p=941 |date=2012-06-21 }} - Mizah Rahman, Asian Urban Epicenters 2012 Urban acupuncture produces small-scale but socially catalytic interventions into the urban fabric.[https://books.google.com/books?id=QbY7on6asu8C&dq=urban+acupuncture+casagrande&pg=PA307 Ruin Academy - Casagrande Lab] - Ariane Lourie Harrison, Architectural Theories of the Environment: Posthuman TerritoryRoutledge, 2013

Architects’ and designers’ position about organic knowledge is tricky. We are not the ones who carry this collective genetic memory on, but we are in a better position to interpret and negotiate with it, step by step, like a shaman getting answers from the organic side. This can easily go very wrong, when architect starts copyrighting fragments of local knowledge under his ego. I guess often it would be enough to create a platform of accidents for the organic knowledge to surface, start cooking, and finding its own forms and dynamics. Design is not necessarily needed in here, and design should not replace reality – while organic knowledge is close to reality, nature.

Casagrande & Rintala - Marco Casagrande and Sami Rintala - is a Finnish architect and artist group producing architectonic installations 1998–2003 for international venues of contemporary architecture and art. Their works move between architecture and environmental art.{{cite web |url=http://www.contemporary-magazine.com/architech44.htm |title=New Page 1 |access-date=2007-05-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070808170851/http://www.contemporary-magazine.com/architech44.htm |archive-date=2007-08-08 }} - World Architecture Community Contemporary -magazine 2003

For their landscape installation 1000 White Flags (summer 2002), for example, the artists speckled a downhill-skiing range in Koli Nature Park, Finland, with flags made of used sheets from mental hospitals. Casagrande & Rintala here drew attention to the madness of businessmen who cut down ancient forests.{{cite web |url=http://www.ciac.ca/biennale2002/en/casagrande.htm |title=Biennale de Montréal 2002 |access-date=2007-06-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070531151039/http://www.ciac.ca/biennale2002/en/casagrande.htm |archive-date=2007-05-31 }} - Biennale de Montreal: Casagrande & Rintala (Finland) 2002

Casagrande & Rintala design and build all their works by themselves. The design process continued during the construction work.

"The work itself usually changes its shape or obtains more layers during the construction process. We keep ourselves open to changes in the work. When it is finding its shape it usually starts to tell us more about itself."{{cite web |url=http://architettura.supereva.com/architetture/20011101/index.htm |title=ARCH'IT architetture / CASAGRANDE & RINTALA.

Land(e)scape (1999), an architectural installation by Finnish architects Casagrande & Rintala, with Marco Casagrande and Sami Rintala, in a former field in Savonlinna. The work is commenting on the desertion process of the Finnish countryside.

Three of these abandoned barns "were driven," the architects explained, "to the point where they have had to break their primeval union with the soil. Desolate, they have risen on their shanks and are swaying towards the cities of the south."[https://web.archive.org/web/20010415065647/http://www.arplus.com/archive/Dec99/casagrande/casagrande.html] - The Architectural Review: A dramatic architectural installation designed to draw attention to the plight of the Finnish countryside, 12/1999
