Lantern in Japan just completed By Penezic&Rogina

I cari amici, Vinko Penezic e Kresimir Rogina mi
scrivono una bellissima notizia che vorrei condividere con voi:

We would like to inform you with delight that our Clubhouse 
with Lantern/Lighthouse pavilion was opened on July 14th 
in Tokamachi, Niigata prefecture, as our first building 
realized in Japan.  


After 15 visits and six awards at Shinkenchiku and 
Central Glass competitions, it is quintessence of our vision 
of the country that we fell in love with long time ago.

Zvi Hecker Sketches

In these days Piranesi is becoming increasingly important to me. I do understand how certain intuition and facts on the "etruscan imprinting"of Rome are root in the etchings of Piranesi. Simultaneously it is just arrived a rather beautiful book.

Zvi Hecker  Sketches printed by Hatje Cantz Verlag. 

It is a collection of the impressive drawings by Zvi Hecker,  the architect of so many important building since the Sixties and the autho of several masterpieces. In this book the reader can ejoy the first sketches of works such as the SPIRAL HOUSE or The School in Berlin or the Cultural center in Duisburg. There is a large number of different media and type of drawing  in this book (schetches, ink drawing, pencil drawing, hard line ecctera) but in all of them the reader will recognize the same eye, the same soul, the same vision. As in Piranesi.
