LINKING PAST TO FUTURE As the gate is set in a historical piazza (Piazza de la Signoria), I think past and future should be instantly differentiated. I MEAN -LINK PAST TO FUTURE- IN A WAY THAT may BE PUT TOGETHER IN THE SAME PLACE, losing the complete fear that something new it’s placed in. I do not attempt to make a gate that will have any past inspiration, but to make it something new, something that compete with Palazzo Vecchio and Loggia Lanzi. This concept of “LINK” (JOIN). lead me to the conceptual idea of nets.
-the past must be altered by the present
like the present is driven by the past.-
