jury's opinion

The award was given for a poetic attempt at an architectural journey in time. A therapeutic journey, whose created space can determine, as the author herself says: the effects of many types of therapy. The author, with great humility, introduces the recipient of the work into the world of safe spaces, creating forms that enable the fulfillment of the therapeutic goal, fittingly inscribing herself in the atmosphere of the historic architecture of central Italy. The proposed result of the work builds an almost magical, artistically beautiful atmosphere of its reception and reminds the viewer that the creation of architecture can, with minimalist means of expression, present the entire range of possibilities of the architect's profession. means of expression, present the entire range of possibilities of the architect's profession.
