GIUSEPPE CAFARO / Coordinated Image “In this sweet and light cover, of an undeniable candor, made of happy, perhaps utopian sobriety, there is all of Laura’s wise and delicate actions, supported and made more adventurous by Gabriele, they are Alice and the White Rabbit, in their natural charm; there is innocent play, the amazement of a child, there is an amused and erudite experimentation, in the joyful condition of becoming, transit and travel, there is also a veil of affectionate irony, which intrigues and makes itself readable ; there is a private enclosure that evokes and tells of friendship, like a hymn to life, there is a legible watermark against the light, of states of mind and paths of memory, of stratifications and tensions, even more than of concrete intentions design or graphic precision, everything listed by Laura is there. And it is for me the best invitation to gracefully and playfully renew my passion for architecture, laying my rough-hewn stones; and in the making and unmaking of life, carrying stones stolen from ruin towards new buildings, as in the metaphor of the poet Mario Luzi; and as Carlo Scarpa claimed, by planting thousands and thousands of cypresses - “they are a large natural park, which in the future would achieve a better result than my architecture” - “pointed to the sky like brushes about to paint it”. Always without taking yourself too seriously. Laura and Gabriele, gumdesign, thank you! For the rare privilege. A thousand leaves swirling lightly in the air, dancing unstoppably. If you ask the wind to stay.” #giuseppecafaro #italy #architect #coordinatedimage #graphicdesign #artdirection #design #gumdesign #house #madeinitaly
