EXPLANATIONS In analyzing Rossi's historical plans from the early nineteenth century, the resemblance of the building's genesis and structure to that of a historical Mediterranean coastal city in Italy is striking. Historically, the doorways in the walls of the room at the intersection of Fontanka Embankment and Lomonosov Square were wide and centrally located. The axis of the window facing the square aligned with the doorway, while the axis of the window facing the Fontanka was subtly shifted – its displacement dictated by the rhythm of the facade and inconspicuous to the eye. Artyem Slizunov Understanding the placement of these doorways led to the concept of establishing a Grand Enfilade from the river and creating an inconsp... Altro

Casa 27 is situated on a spacious plot with a privileged view, it stretches away to the eat, across the intense green, slowly downward as it plunges into the Alvor estuary and its many different tides.  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG The idea was to choose a natural, textured material for the cladding at the base. A vivid material with some volume, to blend with the surrounding landscaped garden, but also to offer greater lightness to the smooth plastered volume, which are the blank canvas and the backcloth of the house. © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG A very rich chromatic material was chosen for Casa 27, which conveys the force of the soil and ages with integrity: Santa Catarina solid bricks, made artisanally, set into ran...

The design for Blè food hall is centered on the idea of the uniqueness of the majestic fire oven. This extraordinary silent feature, visible from the street, is meant to impress and to make the visitor to ponder about one of the key topics of our time: the source of quality and healthy food. As per 1+1=1 style, this relevant concept is expressed in a rather poetic way: the fire oven monolithic form, built of natural clay and whitish earth pigment, is expressed as a symbol of fire, earth and sky.
