La vita, in quell'istante

Going through Scianna’s images and words one finds a series of conceptual fulcrums which characterise the architect: the inextricable tangle of project and fortuity, the self-education of an efficient gaze, the ethical stance, the need for a prolonged interrogation on his own reasons and purpose, the economy of the means of expression understood as a resource, no indulgence to technique as an end in itself, memory as latent and mighty energy for action, the deep sentiment of places, the deep sentiment of time.
