by Giacomo Verde with the collaboration of Lello Voce and Mauro Lupone Qwertyu is the first seven letters of the computer keyboard. According to legend, they were part of the first e-mail message of history. This title has been chosen as a paradigm of the contents of the work: the first signs, organized thoughts, underlying the construction of sense as an architectural construction and viceversa, in a context structured (and undermined?) by the computer language of the Web. In Qwertyu the button “submit” of the HTML modules, interpreted as it appears, changes meaning and becomes the brick-word that can be used for the “construction” of basic architectures made up of poetic lines (polysemous openings). The brick-submit thus becomes a door-link: a transparent structure of linking “matter”. Therefore, in Qwertyu, words weigh, architectures think and sounds support, all of them made up of the same “matter”: bits.
