Apartments, contemporary art museums, fashion boutiques, private residences: Claudio Silvestrin's architectural work is the quintessence of contemporary essentiality, harmony and silence. From Giorgio Armani's flagship stores to Kanye West's New York loft to the headquarters of the Sandretto Foundation in Turin, shapes and structures imbued with non-materiality are perceived through what is most material: earth, water, stone. From nothing, from scratch "the first step is demolition. As the farmer cuts the grass before sowing seeds, I tear down all the walls. Then, depending on the functions, I begin to rebuild", said Silvestrin himself in search of harmony " , fusion but also timelessness ", Bertoni reminds us. Among the pages of the volume the intellectual and creative path of Silvestrin emerges and is revealed, made up of philosophy studies, passion for art, literature and anthropology, and in which they converge, to be reworked and reborn the great models of visual spirituality: the lesson of Mies van der Rohe, Japanese domestic architecture and Cistercian complexes.
