"Architecture has been, is and will be the result of combining reason and intuition. Or as Vitrubio demanded, comply with the Utilitas and the Firmitas and the Venustas. In any case, look for Beauty", says architect Alberto Campo Baeza.
"I believe that this search for Beauty is what comes to recognize this Piranesi Award", underlines Campo Baeza about this award, whose award ceremony will take place on March 16 in Rome on the occasion of the opening of the Academic Course of the Accademia Adrianea.
