Unfortunately i missed Charles Jenks’s speach and that all just to have a lunch :(.. i wish i didnt have. Anyways, i was told that the iconic architecture must have multi meanings , as Le Corbusier’s Notre Dame Du Haut which has many thing to look like,, chapeau or a ship or whatever else..Finally, Attilio Petruccioli with his nice examples of La “potato” through the urban problems and solutions learned from the history.
P.S.: Still, we should fill-up some holes…………………..u know, NO.
