During this period, moreover, he studies, photographs, and draws Antonietta Iolanda Lima’s 1970s works of architecture in Palermo. There is a selection of the material in issue 499-500 of Bruno Zevi’s L’Architettura, cronache e storia magazine, and here below.
Architectures
“I think that architecture should speak to people. It has succeeded when every single person manages to live within the space that it creates in complete ease. People use the space, they feel that they can attribute values to it. They even discover things they did not know and question others, they themselves become subject to scrutiny and their own individual experiences gradually cause them to become aware of what space is and to experience its physicality and irrationality. They thus become aware of its meaning through the use, on separate occasions or contemporaneously, of highly communicative objects, loaded with meanings, with an enormous, even astounding power (as Raymon Carver said when talking of the capacity language must possess when describing common things). In embodying the function which merely provides the raison d’être, they make it desirable. Through a hardly won experimentation, architect expresses the people’s needs artistically.” — Lima, 1995
