| Summary: | The 1980 Venice Biennale marked the definitive break between GRAU (Gruppo Roman Urban Architects) and Alessandro Anselmi. Talented architect, but also professor and editor of several well-known magazines, Anselmi expresses his design thinking through the art of the hand. Anselmi’s drawing, of considerable figurative value, tells about the poetics of the fragments around the void: planes and surfaces that follow the traces of the context and give life to articulated spaces. In the design sketches the language of Alessandro Anselmi emerges with all its expressive power revealing the close relationship between conceptual sign and poetics; a poetics supported by numerous theoretical reflections that insist on the irreplaceable act of the hand in the creative process of architecture. |
