A monk, a mathematician, a writer and an architect.
What an architect!
A true master, who elevated structure to the heights of a symphonic work.
A singing structure.
A singing geometry.
The Geometry of Art and Life, to use the title of a book by Matila Ghyka.
This year there are 400 years since his birth.
But he is our contemporary.
And we ask you to imagine A HOUSE FOR THIS CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECT who was born 400 years ago, or who will be born 400 years from now ?
BOTH.
GUARINO GUARINI.
He made of Turin what Palladio made of Vicenza.
His own city.
What would Turin be without the baroque architecture of Guarino ?
Less, although other important architects built there.
Let’s think for a second of Carlo Molino. And let’s imagine this brilliant Torinese architect would imagine a House for Guarino Guarini.
Why not ?
On the spiral of time, it is not only possible, but necessary.
But… Guarino was a monk, while the erotic photographs of Carlo Molino would incite even stone.
Was Guarino Guarini sensual too ? Maybe a sensuous monk ?
He didn’t have 18 children like Bach, but Guarino does have something in common with Bach: the musical geometry, the most musical rigor.
L’esprit de geometry & l’esprit de finesse as Boileau would say.
We ask you to design A HOUSE FOR GUARINO GUARINI.
A house that crosses boundaries, a non European European house.
An Islamic house for Christianity. A Christian house for Islam.
Melting down the divisions of the Abrahamic religion.
And bringing in, perhaps, even other forms of spirituality.
Asia too… GUARINO GUARINI – a true Gagarin of Architecture.
