Architecture and nature: Degrees of order

The basic idea of my research finds its own inspiration in the area where I grew up. The lake of Garda, situated in north of Italy between the Alps and the flat land, is famous and recognized for the beauty of its natural landscape mixed with rural fabrications. The harshness of the territory has been softened thanks to the construction of ground terraces. However, at the same time the natural features and materials provided by the territory, conditioned the development of a particular kind of vernacular and rural fabrications. My fascination takes place in this dualism between architecture and nature. What stands out in the interaction between the man made fabrications and the landscape is the organization of matter and of natural elements in different degrees of order which represents the transition from artificial to natural, from architecture to nature. The development of the three categories of matter, geometry and zenithal light, with their findigs of void, time and trace led the design through three different scales.
