Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Brolettouno Apartment in Mantua, Italy by ArchiplanstudioDecember 15th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal

The apartment BROLETTOUNO belongs to a long design research path, which emerges in various interventions on built heritage. Basically we try to keep together two worlds, the one of the old and the one of the new, in a balance able to guarantee the identity of both of them. Light and shadow are kept together in their ambiguity and plurality, without sacrificing the reasons of one at the expense of the other.  Image Courtesy © grafo

In this way the precision of the design element is able to emerges, besides the imperfection of the material element to which the action of time gave a singular energy.

The signs left by time, human work and aesthetic intention of different ages remain, while new signs overlap each other in a complexity which does not cancel the other knowledges. Beauty can be found everywhere and does not belong to the intrinsic value of the material.

I believe that relationships represent the most important theme of our design path. Our favorite relationships try to keep together the opposites, as force and fragility, perfect and imperfect, the gloss of a newly crafted product and the unpredictability of materials fell in abandonment. Every project represent a route and a synthesis attempt for open and evolving questions.
