In this series I follow the intent of De Chirico’s Schola Metafisica and use Rationalist buildings as a stone metaphor of what stays unchanged and exists beyond the flow of time. Italian Rationalism is a part of the international Modernist movement championed by the Bauhaus in Germany and by Le Corbusier in France. It refuses decoration so that buildings are essential, geometric shapes. In short, naked forms: the true essence of things.
