Architecture and Archaeology in Via Dei Villini
註釋From the Introduction: Why build new headquarters? Why the Villino? Because it is home, and that is what we always do! Respecting a place and its original identity, which must never be distorted or replaced with another, but must merge with the new; this must not frighten us, we must not think that a historical site should remain immaculate, immobile, like a knick-knack displayed in a glass cabinet. It must be lived in, inhabited, used, but also admired, because living and working within beauty is good for us, it inspires us. The Villino with its Historical location encourages us to not lose contact with our past. This might signify avoiding new perspectives and challenges, remaining immobile against our own nature and against time, which both actually encourage us towards dynamism. A place is not just a container, a grey box where objects and people can simply be deposited. Within this said perspective a place loses its meaning and becomes a no place, where depth and perspective are flattened and not even the human spirit can survive.
