TEXT AND DRAWINGS: 2A+P/A (Gianfranco Bombaci, Matteo Costanzo) The series of drawings is a visual essay that exposes our idea of architecture in its intimate form. Artworks, images, objects, built or unbuilt architectures, archetypes are indifferently assumed as projects and juxtaposed to create a storyboard of unexpected encounters and unpredictable meanings. Each element of the collection is detached by its own material, spatial and temporal context by being redrawn and therefore re-appropriated to construct a cabinet of obsessions. The drawings are integrated in the architecture by entirely covering the wall, like a fresco that tells a choral story of temptations.

As a whole they represent a body of ideas and meanings without a specific hierarchy or order, using a lens that flattens history in a present moment. As such the contemplation of the past is not just the memory of surpassed and obsolete objects, but rather the construction of an archive of pieces and parts that we can continuously reassemble to produce meaning. Ultimately architecture is not just the production of space but first and foremost a form of knowledge.
