RAFAEL MONEO by Marco Bernardi
R AFAEL MONEO
WE Rafael Moneo è uno degli architetti più innovatori della sua generazione. […] Nell’arco della sua lunga carriera ha conservato la sua abilità poetica, rammentandoci la capacità propria della forma architettonica di esprimere, plasmare, ma anche di perdurare. Ha inoltre dimostrato un impegno costante nei confronti di un’architettura intesa come atto del costruire. Rafael Moneo is one of the most transformative architects of his generation. […] Throughout his long career, Moneo has maintained a poetic prowess, reminding us of the powers of architectural form to express, shape but also to endure. He has also been tenaciously committed to architecture as an act of building. Hashim Sarkis To celebrate Rafael Moneo, curator Hashim Sarkis has set up an exhibition inside the Book Pavilion at the Giardini: a selection of plastic models and emblematic pictures of the buildings realised by the Spanish architect. 32
