Abstract

The author questions himself on the “overall sense” of the work of one of the most important architects of the second half of the 1900s, attempting a unified reading of the various phases that make up his work: a first phase all centred on a re-visitation and development of Modernist linguistic canons; a second of an “urbanistic” stamp; the successive one, from the first half of the 1990s that is more poetic, authentically creative and imaginative right up to the last one imbued with religious spirituality.
