The atelier Rodo is situated in a region of central Italy characterized by gentle hills, oak forests, sunflower fields, and ancient villages; a sublime place celebrated by the great Italian Renaissance painting. The entire territory is dotted with medieval castles perched on the slopes of the highest ridges, establishing a strong tension with the horizon line and simultaneously triggering a silent “dialogue from afar” among them. The fundamental question underlying the project is how to envision contemporary architecture capable of integrating with a certain degree of spontaneity into the famous backdrops of Raphael’s Madonnas. To respond to this need, we imagine the construction of an archaeological platform, nestled on the summit of the hill, an architecture composed of few essential, almost banal elements: a central gallery and a double system of hortus conclusus set at two different levels, enclosed by a recycled ancient brick wall. The enclosure, only two meters high above ground, is pierced by four titanic openings, oriented according to the cardinal points and connected to specific viewpoints towards the outside; each secret garden has an additional opening overlooking the Adriatic Sea, beyond the San Bartolo Park. In the distance, the Atelier appears as a ruin out of time, an incomplete building or consumed by the winds and events of history, an enigmatic object that silently enters the past, present, and future scenario of this place.

The new MALBA headquarters in Escobar, designed by eH and opening on September 21, features architecture with no obvious boundaries, light and transparent. An exhibition hall, a visitable storage, and a pavilion dedicated to the Tucuman artist Gabriel Chaile are complemented by a classroom, café, bookstore, and meeting spaces, all under a large roof that creates three programable covered outdoor spaces.
