Thanks to its typological approach, thanks to its technological aspects and, specifically, thanks to its size and its style, the work offers us some interesting reflections about the technical choices carried out for the construction. The Author, basing on some original Almeyda’s drawings, deepens the geometric and compositional system of the roof. The daring and complex construction carried out in iron and glass, modern and progressive in form, it manifests itself as a metal curtain to form the supporting structure of the roof. The Author provides useful key to interpreting about the genesis of elegant and original space.}, number={9}, journal={DISEGNARECON}, author={Di Paola, Francesco}, year={2012}, month={Jan.}, pages={103–116} }
