Il mercante di nuvole

From the archive.

Featured in the July 2006 issue of Umran magazine, Studio65's private mosque in Riyadh is an architectural project that reinterprets traditional Islamic spatial principles through a contemporary language.

Organized around a clear geometric plan, the mosque is illuminated by natural light filtering through a series of domes and glazed openings, creating an atmosphere of quiet contemplation. Simplicity of form, proportion, and light define a space conceived for both spirituality and everyday life within a private residential compound.

Here they are: Glasses for the Hero, 1972🍸

Mèmora è la piattaforma web per catalogare e valorizzare il patrimonio culturale presente sul territorio piemontese: lo strumento che la Regione Piemonte offre per la descrizione dei beni culturali, la raccolta degli oggetti digitali e la fruizione libera e gratuita sul web.
E' realizzata dal CSI Piemonte ed integra gli applicativi finora utilizzati dagli istituti culturali, superando la divisione tra beni archivistici e museali.
