A CASA BRANCA in Azenhas do Mar, Portugal

Casa Branca

Casa branca em frente ao mar enorme,

Com o teu jardim de areia e flocos marinhas

E o teu silêncio intacto em que dorme

O milagre das coisas que eram minhas.

A ti eu voltarei após o incerto

Calor de tantos gestos recebidos

Passados os tumultos e o deserto

Beijados os fantasmas, percorridos

Os murmúrios da terra indefinida.

Em ti renascerei num mundo meu

E a redenção virá nas tuas linhas

Onde nenhuma coisa se perdeu

Do milagre das coisas que eram minhas.

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

THERE IS A SEA

The Atmosphere at Praia da Aguda, Portugal

There is a sea

A far and distant sea

Beyond the largest line,

Where all my ships that went astray,

Where all my dreams of yesterday

Are mine.

"Architecture is not about form, it is about many other things," he said. "The light and the use, and the structure, and the shadow, the smell and so on. I think form is the easiest to control, it can be done at the end."

Gio Ponti and his work

"Love architecture, be it ancient or modern. 

Love it for its fantastic, adventurous and solemn creations; for its inventions; for the abstract, allusive and figurative forms that enchant our spirit and enrapture our thoughts. 

Love architecture, the stage and support of our lives."

A BLUE HOTEL BY GIO PONTI

The Atmosphere in HOTEL PARCO DEI PRINCIPI in Sorrento by GIÒ PONTI

"Born in Milan and trained as an architect, the prolific Ponti designed buildings, interiors, furniture, and lighting, and founded the magazine Domus. Ponti's sensibility is on full view at the Parco dei Principi where he designed every detail of the hotel, from the furniture to the lighting to the 30 different geometric-patterned blue and white tiles used in different combinations throughout the interior. Better still, the whole color scheme is in shades of blue and white....Read more..
