Hidden Architecture Buildings that Blend In

Alyn Griffiths

This book presents innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city, hidden buildings are often designed to provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside, buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape, so they can be designed to become a part of it. Buildings can be buried underground, hidden amongst trees, covered with greenery or even sunk into the sea. They can be clad in mirrors to reflect their surroundings, disappear beneath an urban plaza or be hidden from view on top of another building. Each of these imaginative solutions offers a way for architecture to blend in rather than stand out.

The catalog for Teheranborn artist Ali Banisadr’s 2021 show in Florence at the Sala Gigli in Palazzo Vecchio and the Museo Stefano Bardini that marks the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death.

Ali Banisadr. Beautiful Lies

Sergio Risaliti

Beautiful Lies documents Teheran-born, New York-based artist Ali Banisadr’s 2021 show in Florence in honor of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri. The “beautiful lies” beneath which truth is hidden is an expression used by Dante in describing his writing — and allegorical poetry in general — and it is perfectly suited to Banisadr’s work. His powerful brushwork and strong colors go below the surface of his personal reality, revealing violence and isolation, anguish and wonder, but also memories and imagination. For this show, which was split between two venues, he was commissioned to create an installation of site-specific paintings (also called Beautiful Lies). The text is by Sergio Risaliti, director of the Museo Novecento in Florence.
