Forms of architecture
The project aims to understand the theoretical reasoning of architectural permanence, reuse and ensemble. In the ancient historical centre of Naples, the ruins of San Carminiello ai Mannesi are used to put the architectural theory into use. The purpose is to preserve the ruins, re-utilize its form, and design a building that fits in with the ruins, in accordance with the morphology and typology of the city. This is done by understanding the architectural language and its essential elements of the ruins and the city, which is then reiterated and updated; thus, reinventing and extending the life of the architecture.
