Cherubino Gambardella è uno degli architetti più visionari e interessanti dell’architettura italiana contemporanea e questo volume raccoglie materiali, modelli, testi e disegni della sue ricerche dedicate alla città contemporanea.
In the glass gallery of the Palazzo Reale in Naples, in a space of eighteen hundred wrapped by a very intense light, there is a large blue object.
It is an architecture that is inside another architecture, which houses models and drawings of other architectures.
But it also seems a Matryoshka, or a Pompeian house with no roof and a long hall podium.
A space to tell the house, the city and the landscape speakers as objects, as things understandable to all the features.
A new and contemporary expression made up of imperfect walls, windows, bottles, domes, raising, hats that are sometimes right in the form of architecture and sometimes things are added to the simplicity of the wall in the sign of a new balance between the sublime and picturesque.
Cherubino, homen-nomen for one of the most interesting and controversial architects in the Italian contemporary architecture; surely an author who can’t let us indifferent for cultural choices, languages that he uses, works.
Cherubino, frisky angel who restless moves between sky and earth; water-fire-land-air noisily mixed, but for this broker of unexpected births, of unions outside the established order, of wizards that wrong-foot, there are provocative irreverences, that sometimes may disturb.
