THE WAVE OF BABYLON
In this crazy period, almost without social interaction, we managed to carry out a noteworthy experiment: we set up a working group, a network of people from different parts of the world (Portugal, Italy, Morocco, Spain, Bulgaria, India), completing a difficult and lasting architectural competition of 400’000 square meters. Communicating in English, Portuguese, Italian, a little Spanish.
Thanks to Renato Peron who invited me to participate and thanks for having conducted the orchestra with skill; thanks to Francesco Cancelliere for the super professionalism and for the beautiful sketches; thanks to Did Todorova for the fundamental energy and enthusiasm, without you we would have been lost along the way; thanks to Cecelia Marcheschi for the ideas and for the creation of superfine works; thanks to Parth Kapoor for always actively participating in all phases, always giving an intelligent contribution.
Despite the difficulties of the concept undertaken and the inadequate tools, we were able to work in synergy.
