The lake and the camellia.
\nConceiving a public function without considering the place\u2019s founding aspects is meaningless. In Verbania these aspects are the relationship between the mountains\u2019 verticality and the lake\u2019s horizontality. The place offers an urban gap and a little building that has to be maintained. The surrounding emptiness creates the limits: it overlooks the river in search of the lake, but at the same time it looks towards the mountains.
\nThe building becomes a sequence of empty, filling up spaces.
\nNot through self-celebrating shapes, but thanks to sequences of spaces where everything becomes rarefied in always different ways. Here there is a new \u201cbeauty\u201d along the lake edge.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
