Architecture is in space,
space is in the rhythm,
the rhythm is in the pauses,
the pauses are waiting,
waiting is the shadow of light.


Architecture is independent of us,
it belongs to whoever resonates with it.
It's a leaf,
It is the whole universe,
It is relationships.
To designi is to go beyond.


Firmitas, utilitas and venustas only the
metrics of a complex poem and as mysterious as life itself.
Only an act of freedom
opens the door to this mystery,
beyond the door
space reaches infinity.


Maximalism is to minimalism
as alpha is to omega.
While in nature there is no alphabet.


Space arises from prefiguration
of a reality waiting to be realized
through the concert of different actions,
parts of one great harmony.


Architecture is designed
to leave it to someone else.
It is an exciting listening exercise.
It is an act of generosity.
