divisare

The absence of Palazzo dell’Acqua e della Luce (Gardella, Albini, Minoletti, Palanti, Romano)

"In Italy, for some time now, there have been so many calls for competitions that most architects have worked only on commission, the competitions [...] help young architects to make a name for themselves [...]. This is a critical period [...] everyone lives in an atmosphere of expectation which obviously is not the best condition for competing [...]. Will this war happen, or not?" (Lucio Fontana, letter to his father, 1939)
