Why not attack the mediocre existing architecture and propose something better? I would love to get my hands on the invisible paint!

You do not bring reflection by blatently erasing the past and a great past at that! I understand young Italian architects frustrations with the "architectural establishment" in Italy but once again, FORGETTING ONE'S OWN IDENTITY is NOT moving forward from it! Like Raul says, I know you guys can do better than this! Agree completely with raul. You do not bring reflection by blatently erasing the past and a great past at that!

Like Raul says, I know you guys can do better than this!

In such secular spaces, "monuments of an epoque and era", symbols and turning points the works are a bit mediocre and bad taste. There is a lot of tradition in firenze, and the grupo giovenni di architteti fiorentini should learn a bit before interveining in such town bonna sera gerson All human deeds are some change in the natural enviroment.

Anyway, I agree with you... deleting such important and historical signs in a city where people come and visit from everywhere is a very bad idea. The project of the Uffizi makes me think a lot. I agree with you. the court of the Uffizi are just right now an open museum, both because it's a museum of itself for its beauty and because there are many street artists who give a wonderful artistic atmosphere to the whole area. So we don't need an aggressive steel structure and a "privatised" space (wich somehow reminds me to the old parisians "passages"). and as to the cathedral..... hihihi!!I remeber the first times I moved to Florence. I didn't know the city but the view of the dome from far helped me finding the center... but now??? so, have a nice day! ciao are you Raul who lives in Amsterdam and attended the first 3 years of architecture in Florence? if so, I’m Stefania, I don’t know if you remember.
