I want to modernize the ancient. I prefer to work with materials formed naturally over thousands of years.

I wanted to design a museum in which everything would seem clear.

The Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio comes from afar. Our land has a millennial history of emigrations: master masons, architects, builders, decorators, plasterers, artists from the world of building.

There is great mystery in a church. For me, there is a great privilege to be confronted with the design of a church because it shelters the most powerful themes of humanity: birth, marriage, death.

The architect works in the territory of memory.

Artificial light is used because you can control it better. Technically, it is more homogeneous, more delicate, and less damaging to artwork. But I think it's interesting when the visitor can see variations in the light, when it is not only technical or suitable.

Church architecture describes visually the idea of the sacred, which is a fundamental need of man.

For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well.

A museum is a spiritual place. People lower their voices when they get close to art.
