“…this is not a building, i.e. something holding one or more
functions that can be contained in an architectural unit, but an
urban system: a neighbourhood, a crossroads, a beehive, a
medieval portico that brings together all the sounds and
movements of the town’s winding streets, where people live
work, trade and spend their leisure time. It does not have a
front in the traditional architectural sense, but rather a series of
perspectives (highlighting the fact that this is where several
places meet) and it is organised to offer views over the town and
the surrounding landscape.” (P. Volponi)

Filippo Poli, architect, has been working as a photographer since 2008. His personal projects explore the cultural landscape and the evolving relationship between humans and nature.
