Massimiliano Fuksas always says that he would like to be able to design an architecture without time and space; he has certainly been searching for it for fifty years. This book presents a rich collection of ideas, concepts, and intentions, stripped of any context, scale, or other details that might limit their expression. From this, we can conclude that the author has indeed succeeded. This collection features architectures that are detached from both time and space, creating a transcendent realm where his deepest concerns and sensitivities reside.  He says that his projects always begin with drawing and painting, which have been his passions since childhood. When tackling a new project, he observes nature for inspiration. He continues to paint for material, differentiating it from “drawing architecture.” Even when he lectures students at university, he instinctively starts painting.  He prefers not to delegate the creative phase, as he wants to control the entire process
