Abstract

Philosophy of drawing.
The main theme of this project was to find a non conventional way of representing a masterpiece of architecture - The Chapel of the Tomba Brion at the Altivole Cemetery in the Provence of Treviso, Italy, a project by Carlo Scarpa.

I found two topics to be represented: "The imperfect ideal" and "An Interrupted continuity".

THE IMPERFECT IDEAL

 Symmetry.

Equilibrium.

Harmony between the parties.

At the same time there is a lack of direct correspondence.

Two opposing concepts coexist perfectly.

Everything is completed.

It coexists.

It stays.

AN INTERRUPTED CONTINUITY

 Rectangle

Geometric figure characterized by right angles.

Circle

The exact opposite.

A fluid figure, as if it came from nature.

Edges are combined with curved lines.

They are made up. They form a whole. They tell something.

They become a portal. The entrance, a point of passage.

But the circle is particular. It is interrupted.

As if it sank underground and its junction was invisible.

A part is hidden but the circle always maintains its identity.

It is unmatched. Perfect despite everything.
