CONCEPT

THREADPATTERNNETS

-the past must be altered by the present

G A T ELINKING PAST TO FUTUREAs the gate is set in a historical piazza (Piazza de la Signoria), I think past and future should be instantly differentiated. I MEAN -LINK PAST TO FUTURE- IN A WAY THAT may BE PUT TOGETHER IN THE SAME PLACE, losing the complete fear that something new it’s placed in. I do not attempt to make a gate that will have any past inspiration, but to make it something new, some-thing that compete with Palazzo Vecchio and Loggia Lanzi. This concept of “LINK” (JOIN). lead me to the conceptual idea of nets.

like the present is driven by the past.-
