Querido Adrian,

Agradecido,

443. Alger. Hotel Aurassi
Querido Enric,
-Pero te acuerdas de algo? Puedes recitarme algo
para que me haga una idea?
-No, solo recuerdo sensaciones.
-Que tipo de sensaciones? Dime una.
-La desesperacion...
-Ya esta? Eso es todo?
-La desesperacion, la altura, el mar, cosas no cerradas,
abiertas de par en par, como si el pecho te explotara.
-Si entiendo. Y desde cuando has dejado los poemas?
("El Tercer Reich"-Roberto Bolaño)
Un abrazo.

411. Milano. Corso Italia, Nuovi Palazzi
Dear Matt,
"In architecture, more than in other arts, the power and
the will to exist beyond the natural and the useful is a
fundamental quality, distinct from the simple fact of
construction. Architecture arises as a terrible act of
existence, everlasting, and is justifiable only in this
sense" (Luigi Moretti)
Sincerely

216. Roma. Stadio Olimpico e Attrezzature Sportive
Querido Paco,
Esta vista del Foro Italico proyectado por Luigi
Moretti, muestra en primer termino la "Casa delle
Armi" con acabado exterior en marmol de Carrara.
El mismo Moretti comparo este edifico con el Partenon
de Atenas por su perfeccion de proporciones (basado en
la seccion aurea o divina proporcion) y en la precision
de su construccion.
Abrazos.

195. Watergate Office Building
Dear Sarah,
The Watergate's lead architect, Italian Luigi Moretti,
apparently was "Mussolini's favorite architect".
The complex is notable for being the only U.S. building
designed by this Italian architect. The curvilinear
complex, which includes the hotel, two office buildings,
and three apartment buildings, was designed and
constructed between 1964 and 1971.
Best.
R
Best.
