“What makes architecture special is that alchemy that is generated between the built space, those who live in it and those who design it. Generating emotion for me is the fourth fundamental dimension, which translates into the continuous search for visions and observation points that can offer visual continuity and connection at a design and conceptual level, to create free paths for one’s own imagination. In architecture there is a constant passage of testimony between yesterday and today that makes everything present and current. Adherence to the contemporary means a continuous connection and mixture with what surrounds me and drives me. Architecture needs to include reality, the context, natural or urban, to preserve the “spirit of places”. For this reason, I believe that true architecture cannot stop at the external surfaces, but must unfold, like a moebius strip, from the outside to the inside, without interruption. This is also my idea of Naturalist Architecture, understood not only as a relationship with nature, but with man as part of it.” Frederico Delrosso designed the Hashi, Palpebra and Mima lamps for Davide Groppi. |
