Camilo Rebelo. PARALLEL UNIVERSES

The volume, edited by the undersigned, is the catalogue of an exhibition made in Politecnico of Milano on the works by Camilo Rebelo, one of the most significant architectural figures in the European panorama. Without any linguistic emphasis, Camilo Rebelo's architecture seems to return a new interpretation of architecture, which knows how to draw from the landscape its representativeness and at the same time its materiality, being able to return to the landscape itself, through a silent language, each time a new meaning, a new identity, a 'difference'. The images of the exhibition are not intended to be just the materialization of these words, but the compositional expressions of an ever-evolving thought, which precisely through the parallel Universes of architecture (dre-amed, designed, built), sequentially reveals its own narrative dimension. The projects collected in the catalogue reflect a dual conceptual and operational itinerary of the author: some works have actually been built and become the tangible result of his work, others remain 'suspended', almost waiting for an appropriate 'parallel universe' to be completed.
