Light and color
The color is a medium that allows you to exercise a direct influence on the soul. The color is the key, the eye on the hammer, the soul is the piano with many strings. Wassily Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in 1910

A guard of history
with Prof. Arch. Massimo Lo Curzio
We need to build a structure that allows you to reach the archaeological site of Naniglio (a Roman villa of the Imperial age of II-III century. DC) four feet below the level of the old road that led to Gioiosa Jonica in the province of Reggio Calabria. This small ogetto Architectural is part of a larger project of the archaeological park which should involve all the old road, but which to date they have been made only a small parte.L 'set consists of a metal structure containing a three-dimensional walkway that while it travels gives you the possibility to relate the wonderful landscape with maturale evocative of the story, all covered and shrouded by a "skin" of wooden slats.
The helmet of the knigh
Being inside a space metal , Walking alongside chrome surfaces with the feeling of being inside a giant armor inundated by the sparkle of a thousand reflections ............. The building design was to be placed inside a narrow lot and along part of a block in the historic center of Reggio Calabria, closed on the two long sides of two adjacent buildings . The small amount of light , in a classic design would maintain the distribution to the two short sides ( the only ones with a bright contribution ), one facing north and one south rivoto . the need to overcome these obstacles , led to the conception of a luminous surface that was capable of " lined " the entire space in contact with the outside , a "blade" netallica consists of several tens of elements with a triangular section that bending and bending give rise to the entire shape of the building is at the same time fulfilling the role of shading that wall , that scale access to housing. The set then becomes a kind of building the contrary , in which , so to say the space in the "negative" originates and gives shape to that in the "positive" .
Color = energy
The gym is one of those places where we absorb and emit energy, here we construct the building blocks of our physical and investigate, measuring it, our awareness of "if". It is not clear why these spaces are therefore mostly sloppy and dingy being in most cases located in basements, without light, and the maximum consisting of a laminate floor type floors and a handful of mirrors on the walls of these spaces may instead cooperate exalting this continuous emission-reception efficiency through two instruments, space, defined as the enveloping flow of "forms" and the color around us, this being a radiation (and thus energy) through a multitude of sensations that accompany us in these comtinui exchanges of energy between human beings and the environment
Follow the red ribbon
The creation of a space, and not merely in the juxtaposition of functions next to each other , but rather the construction of a place, be it a big city or small portions of the house, in which they manifest the " energy " that ' Architecture manifest must accompany and facilitate . In this case, the location is a store / showroom for the building materials and furnishings . The needs were to decorate a window , shielding an access to the magazin and the construction of a small showroom with area customers. It was therefore two places with characteristic " energy " completely different , one static , the other semi- dynamic , but that both had to be put in evidence, for this reason, the red surface becomes the dominant motif , bending moment in the vertical direction fermere to the eye in the window ( static space ), now becoming a horizontal strip of countertop that accompanies the path of the showroom (space dynamic)
A happy home
The energy of the space has a big influence on us, can trasferircene a party or sottrarcene depending on its characteristics, color, brightness, its materiality, finance its shape. How is made a house that transmits happiness? This was the question behind this project for a small attic over the Strait of Messina. The response has been to develop the theme according to two main elements: Light and color, the one referring to the relationship with the outside world and with the extraordinary landscape in which "melt" the house, the other inside a wall made of equipped colorful that bisects the entire house and with four large colored surfaces constructs a continuous "dialectic" with whom he lives and moves within the home
Bazar
This is an experimental design for a large shopping center in which to live even some executive functions. Two main lines chosen for this project, who plays the role of the shopping center inspired her to Bazaar, and the other more purely theoretical linked to the relationship between materials and light, both manmade and natural. The relationship with the sun has been defined per se, with a shell that does not allow the roofing, but delegating this function to two large glass surfaces juxtaposed on each other, the first to form the slab itself, the second colored shield and modulate the excessive brightness, a kind of huge sunglasses.
