METHOD

The final form, the articulation of the contents is the result of an often complicated comparison between the interlocutors, clients, companies, technicians and administrators of the territory: reality, expectations and economy.

Flexibility, persuasion, patience, determination and a look to the future are the tools that lead to the graphic and technical definition of the project.

Then the construction, difficult, its drawbacks and surprises, the human relationships of the construction site, learning, the search for precision, the choice of the right material, the detail drawn on the walls, the constant presence up to the olive branch on the roof.

The beauty of the architect's work is precisely in the comparison between the first idea, the Dream, the construction, Reality and time, Harmony of Memory.
