Eyes That See
The construction of thought and creative activities depends on our ability to ask questions and interact with what constitutes our vital context—our past.
In this sense, the territory (the landscape and its archaeology) without the man who questions it is always indeterminate, unaware, neither beautiful nor ugly, without borders, without a center.
Place of disorientation of the mind.
It awaits only from us, from the eyes that see, the fulfillment of its metamorphosis, its completion, and its becoming form.
Biography

Luigi Franciosini, Full Professor in Architectural and Urban Design at Dipartimento di Architettura Università degli studi Roma3 in Rome, carries out research and teaching activities in the area of Architectural Design, paying particular attention to the relationship between project and context in its historical-archaeological and landscape reflections.
An interest that is part of a tradition of consolidated thought within Roma Tre, with experiences gained in important European realities. A research opportunity that is increasingly national and international, progressively involving Italian and foreign universities.
