From the Drawing Board: Subiaco Oval Courtyard House by Luigi Rosselli.
Sitting with Sydney-based architect Luigi Rosselli recently, the conversation turns to the issue of language. Not human, but architectural.
Luigi spoke of common misconceptions of a buildings potential to be respectfully and fluently multi-lingual; to speak articulately and simultaneously in more than one tongue.
“There is a fear that modern architecture can speak only one language and not be more polyglot , which is the wrong preoccupation,” Luigi says. “Some houses speak dual languages.”
As importantly, he spoke of the need to ensure that the language we use appropriately matches the occasion.
