The passages also have a transitory function, taking them far beyond their intrinsic purpose to the bounds of what the eye can see. For Stella, architecture is a form of enablement bound closely together with people, their sightlines, and their movements. It represents the opposite of the modus operandi he has at times been accused of: following cold rationality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy\" >\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row \">\n            <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-2 col-md-8\">\n                <div class=\"box\">\n                    <div class=\"copy\"><p>To use a word that has fallen out of fashion but which, to my mind, perfectly captures the mental framework in which Stella develops his architecture: he is a dialectician. His work <em>L\u2019Architettura e la Costruzione<\/em>, published a good ten years ago in the style of a manifesto, aims at a justification, derived from history, of an architecture that should be comprehended as <em>coincidentia oppositorum<\/em>, a juxtaposition of opposites. In this text, Stella proves himself a structuralist intent on reconciling two principles, one focused solely on the function of bearing a load, that is, the wall, and the other on its self-symbolisation in a particularly evocative architectural motif, the trilithon. I have never spoken with him about this, but I suspect that he was inspired by the slim but immensely influential volume written by Guido von Kaschnitz-Weinberg: <em>The Mediterranean Foundations of Ancient Art.<\/em> I have taken my examples from this text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-two-images \">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box first-image\" data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-20,20]}}'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_69f1a1ff35cbc\" aria-labelledby=\"desc_media_69f1a1ff35cbc\">\n\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-200x300.jpg\",\"width\":200,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-683x1024.jpg\",\"width\":683,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-768x1152.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1152,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-1024x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-1365x2048.jpg\",\"width\":1365,\"height\":2048,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Trilith_Stonehenge-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":1707,\"height\":2560}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"Prehistoric monument made of large stones in a meadow, part of the famous Stonehenge in England.\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Play video\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:149.97070884593%;\" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\" media-id=\"desc_media_69f1a1ff35cbc\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-row end-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"isOpen ?

There is no arbitrariness at work here, but the conscious principle of rejecting purely functional rationality, which bears no relation to the human physical schema.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image-copy rev2nd\"> \n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row middle-sm\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-sm-6 margin-bottom-sixth\" data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}'>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline lazy-max-height-exception\" role=\"group\" id=\"media_69f1a1ff3ce47\" aria-labelledby=\"desc_media_69f1a1ff3ce47\">\n\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-282x300.jpg\",\"width\":282,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-963x1024.jpg\",\"width\":963,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-768x816.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":816,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-1445x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1445,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-1927x2048.jpg\",\"width\":1927,\"height\":2048,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00062143-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2408,\"height\":2560}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"Interior view of a magnificent building with tall columns, large windows, and modern design.\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Play video\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:106.3122923588%;\" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\" media-id=\"desc_media_69f1a1ff3ce47\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-row end-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"isOpen ?
