AMAZING ITALY: VALADIER A GENGA

The Temple of the Valadier is a peculiar church located at Genga, Marche, near the Frasassi Waterfalls.

 Pope Leo XII ordered the construction, in 1828, on the basis of a draft drawn up by the architect Giuseppe Valadier. 

The church, built according to a plan in the shape of an octagon, has a domed roof covered with lead plates and is perfectly inserted in a cave . 

It was built in travertine, proceeds from a quarry that is located upstream.

ARCHITECTURAL CARAPACES OF LIGHT: GEHRY A PARIS!

In 2006 Frank Gehry realized this building for Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.

Every his  project is always an amazing surprise, born during an hard but immaginative intellectual route. 

Transparent canvas and carapaces covers the structure of the museum, creating spaces where the light is the first architectural element.


Frank Gehry is probably the greatest living architect ...
