The project simulate a colonization of a ruin in the Roman countryside. The ruin is a Roman character, paradigm of the city development. The ruin is an unavoidable element, always contemporary. This ruin, heritage of a circular based building, get animated by a cultured and sophisticated colonist, aware of Architecture Arts. This ruin is an ironical work of sieve inside contemporary architectural vocabulary, declined in a latin manner. Alongside with practical elements, of convenient utility – by now unquestionable – the house hosts comfortable elements for a way of living full of that sensibility, knowledge and affections that dignify the the human spirit, rooting it to its highest and more natural virtues.
