Twenty years after, I’ve been called to compare with myself and my personal history. The first project, locked and monolithic like an unassailable fortress from outside, allude to some military buildings located on Donoratico’s beach, but also remind childrens that builds sand castles with their coloured buckets. The inside instead, in unexpected way, looks like a cavern space covered by blue mosaic tiles; an imaginary tank in which goldfish swim, revealed by ray of light from above. On the other hand, the new building changes appearance, relating to the existing one in opposing way: the previous complex is introverted and locked, the new one is opened and pierced; the first building is organic and containing a surprise, instead the second is geometric and containing a disclosed surprise. The furniture of the new building (in turquoise color) is covered with reproductions of drawings made in the last twenty years, and it’s possible to see them from outside. Together, these buildings create a new architectural complex, serious from outside but happy inside!
