Antonino Cardillo - Latest Designs Arcade Store Milan, Italy Design: Antonino Cardillo image from architect Arcade Store Milan - 15 Nov 2012 The store appears to the visitor almost as an enchanted palace set in a rationalist building. As in the royal stable of Meknes or the mosque of Cordoba, a dense succession of parallel arches define a perspective. The arch, primary icon of architecture, archetype of construction and protection, and symbol of Italy throughout history, in its airy, slender variant, codified by 14th century Italian painting and often cited by De Chirico, rediscovers in this work its double syntactic value of connection and separation of parts. Purple House, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK 2011- picture © Antonino Cardillo Purple House Nowadays obsession for ethnicity seals national identities. Most people seem to ignore the erratic unfolding of ancient fluxes which moulded European lands. Lost in their dull present, they forget the rich pathways leading from the past to our time.

House of Twelve, Kew, Melbourne, Australia 2010- image from Antonino Cardillo, architect House of Twelve It was the ruins of ancient Rome that inspired this project, those unpredictable warps that in the eighteenth century appeared to European travellers on the Grand Tour as fantastic visions. Rather than the historic original, what fascinates still today is this state of progressive destruction that millennia carve in the forms, unveiling their most obscure recesses. So the ruin tells us of time passing, of slowly dying beauty, and in this its slow decay evokes a transverse narrative, as if trapped between the architecture and its definitive destruction.
