Gio PONTI - (1970) - Co-Cathedral "Great Mother of God" - (Taranto, Italy)

This Church the "Great Mother of God" is the Co-Cathedral of Taranto. Designed by Giò (Giovanni) Ponti (18 November 1891, Milan -- 16 September 1979, Milan) one of the most important Italian architects, industrial designers, furniture designers, artists, and publishers of the twentieth century. It was conceived considering the close link with the maritime tradition of Taranto. The façade, in fact, represents a kind of canopy that reflects in the pools of the courtyard to symbolize the sea. These perforated reinforced concrete structures reach 50 meters in height and contain the stairs to the use of the tower hidden in the structures of the wing. The interior has three aisles from the essential character in the coating in white plaster, green and ocher. Even in the decorations, there is the hand of the architect, Gio Ponti in fact to give prepared and the Annunciation painted on canvas, the seats for the dignity of the Chapter and stalls for the rest of the canons. The same baptismal font in the chapel of the same name in the middle of the aisle, was designed by Ponti.

Renzo PIANO - (1991) - Rue de Meaux HOUSING (Paris, France)

This residential complex in the 19th district of Paris is Composed of 220 low cost apartaments. The homes all face a central internal garden planted with birch trees. Research into the grani and color of materials led to the creation of a "double-skinned" facade system and the use of terracotta. Applying GRC technology, Renzo Piano [http://www.rpbw.com/] has taken the prefabricated panel to a new level of architectonic sophistication and excellence. "The Rue de Meaux Housing (1991) in Paris exemplifies Piano's ability to bring together innovation and exacting craftsmanship with knowledge of the technical aspects of the production of buildings to achieve new and successful results. The appeal of the building's terra cotta cladding brought a durable surface material back into popularity, while revealing its potential for frank elegance, in contrast to neoclassical applications that often disguised the material."

Julio Garcia LAFUENTE - The SANCTUARY of Merciful Love

2012-02-04T15:56:48.772Z

The exterior, the convex, penetrates alternating in a subtle dialectical play with the concave: the distinction between inner and outer space is so broken. Here is founded the most valuable of the church and Julio Lafuente can be satisfied with the level achieved, because this continuity between interior and exterior space is one of the goals it has set itself the best modern architecture. In the small town of Collevalenza is located the Sanctuary of Merciful Love. Designed by the architect Giulio Lafuente of Madrid in 1965. High, almost plane on the hill where is located, rendered prospectively even higher from the steep stairway access, the Sanctuary offers itself to the sight of the visitor, in particular for the gigantic canopy that breaks the façade, with a severe and impactand effect. And this severity, as lightened by the concave glass and the diagonal of the coverage gap, doesn't weigh less on the soul. Feel wanted and eloquently alluded to the weight that the pilgrim brings in and that he was invited to testify. Handmade bricks one by one: a material that speaks a language of poverty, humility in life. Then concrete, simple, raw, naked, and even local stone, rough-hewn hammer, or sleek by force of arms. Finally glass, both white and colored, in a glory of light and transparency, all bound together by the immense love of her foundress Mother of Jesus Hope Alhama Valera, for all just "Mother Hope" (Madre Speranza). The system consists of 15 elevation Towers, one of which, the apse, is divided into two halves opened to the outside, contradicting the usual individually contact the apse of the Christian Churches to the interior space, limiting and ending on the back the presbytery. But here, in Collevalenza, the apse is open in two halves and suggests to the outside, because its architect intended it to materialize "the notion that the sacred is part of" the whole world. Last chapel, the Spanish artist Vaquero Turcios has been a tapestry of the figures of St. Peter and St. Paul. The image of the two apostles, as two large columns, suggesting the strength of God's mercy, which is capable of turning men from sinners to saints of exceptional spiritual greatness.
There is also a great organ of the house Tamburrini, which extends toward the altar a beam of bright copper trumpets.

Massimiliano FUKSAS - (2005) - EuroPark 2 (Salzburg, Österreich)

The Europark in Salzburg is a large building situated on an area of 120,000 square meters, used as retail space and for 3000 cars parking, close to highway and airport. Its horizontal arrangement is bounded by the gently curved roof, formed by a corrugated metal fence. The radiant facades consist of a "double skin" transparent and translucent coating that is reflected in the small gap of water that surrounds the entire perimeter. They behave like modern billboards and are characterized by the name of the mall "Europark" printed in white on blue glass. The double screen printing is done on the outside than on the inner plates of glass, gives depth and dimensionality to the logo, highlighted in the evening by artificial lighting system placed in the cavity of the two skins. The exterior of the building changes every hour of the day depending on changes in natural light which makes it more or less transparent surfaces. The center is organized on four levels: the ground floor and first floor are for sale, while the basement and the roof are both used for parking. The space distribution and internal linking are optimized so as to give order and clarity to the interior and to create spaces for relaxation and aggregation. The "Squares" and "Gallerie" inside are lit by natural light from large skylights, comprised of panels and glass panels angled vertical side walls that can be opened automatically to allow for the possible evacuation of the smoke. La a great wave of light and transparent network, 140 m long 320 m wide, running along the whole facade; made of metal grating, the wave is the major architectural motif of the project. Suggestive allusion to an ocean that has no counterpart in Austria, coverage, strongly characterized, gives shelter to the parking spaces and is a strong sign of large-scale recall. The continuity of the element is in contrast to the available dynamic and tense of the underlying volume, determined by the strength of "empty" interior, which has been reserved for commercial activities. In the southern area, enriched by vegetation, a refined game of reflexes, including the big screen-printed glass wall of the mall and the tub of water crossed by paths, demonstrates once again the architect's attention to the treatment of "light" and the use of "transparency".

Le CORBUSIER - (1923) - Villa La ROCHE (Paris, France)

La Maison La Roche-Jeanneret is a double house built by Le Corbusier in 1924. They are in the Rue Doctor Blanche to the numbers 8-10. They are the seat of the Le Corbusier Foundation http://www.fondationlecorbusier.fr/. The project dates back to 1923, when Raoul La Roche commissioned to the Helvetic architect a house where he could also be exposed his art gallery. Was used the new technique of reinforced concrete and, in line with the experiences of the modern movement, ran out all the decorations in favor of an absolute set of volumes of pure geometrical features. Villa Jeanneret was instead built in collaboration with the architect Pierre Jeanneret in 1925. The two buildings are joined in today. [...] Open the door, go under a bridge, and the tight space explodes upwards and through punched-out voids that are mysteriously backlit. Go across the triple-height space, look at the Purist paintings, one of which you now seem to be moving through, turn left up a stair, and survey the pure prisms from a balcony....Catch your breath, turn around, and proceed to the culmination, La Roche's curved gallery... [M]ount the brown ramp to the left, to Le Roche's aerie, his top-lit library. The spatial sequence is remarkable and remained a constant preoccupation of Le Corbusier. It also became the stock in trade of subsequent Modern architects.[...] (Charles Jencks)

La Maison La Roche-Jeanneret è una doppia villetta costruita da Le Corbusier nel 1924. Si trovano nella square della Rue Doctor Blance ai numeri 8-10. Sono la sede della Fondazione Le Corbusier. Il progetto risale al 1923, quando Raoul La Roche commissionò all'architetto elvetico una casa dove potesse anche essere esposta la sua galleria d'arte. Venne usata la nuova tecnica del cemento armato e, in linea con le esperienze del movimento moderno, vennero a mancare tutte le decorazioni, in favore di un'assoluta funzionalità impostata su volumi geometrici puri. Villa Jeanneret venne invece costruita in collaborazione con l'architetto Pierre Jeanneret nel 1925. I due edifici oggi sono uniti all'interno.
