The making of Rome’s Off Club

Antonino Cardillo

  1. Vision. The intuitive function
    From the psychical subject to the physical object
  2. Construction. Language as the “House of Being”
    Toward an etymology of architectural words
  3. Individuation. The afterward detection
    The temple in the sacred precinct

In his design for the Off Club, Cardillo continues the investigation of archetypes (primordial images) that he began with his design for the House of Dust: “Archetypes, so far as we can observe and experience them at all, manifest themselves only through their ability to organise images and ideas, and this is always an unconscious process which cannot be detected until afterwards.”⁠[1]
