“Beauty”, “Light”, “Time”, “Memory”, “Universality”, “Wisdom”, “Sacred” and “Essentiality” are the themes of the eight meditations by two enlightened architects and two kindred spirits, capable of uniting the North and South of Europe with their wise reflections: Juhani Pallasmaa and Alberto Campo Baeza. Eight meditations on themes that cut across time and fashion. Eight meditations by two learned architects whose readings have been assimilated and declined with respect to architecture. Eight meditations that emphasise how praxis must always be united with theoretics. Eight meditations by two architects who are convinced that successful architecture is the result of culture and reflection, not extemporaneity. Eight meditations that show how to be contemporary architects it is necessary to confront the past by considering it present.
