ABOUT

The Imagelist is a blog about photos and drawings,  an archive used to interpret the reality.

The Imagelist is a collection of images, photographs, collages and drawings that I use to work, to develop ideas, to record data, to sketch architectural projects. To imagine the everyday reality.

The idea is made to reorganize my archive's images, belonging to pictures found, or taken, manipulated, architectures, drawings, collages, a kind of visual autobiography.

Many image are part of everyday work, models that I use to think about projects, to think about architecture and spaces. 

An interpretative game of the reality, where the medium choose to represent it is  important: The Blog.

A channel made in order to re-store an esthetical code open to interpretation.

The reorganization of an archive  needs different tools, maintaining an independence  and in the same time reading a relation between them.

The Imagelist follows, support and complete the book’s archive started with The Booklist.

In fact I do not choose images with a precise logic, as I did for the books, simply when a picture involve me, I print it and plug it on a blank paper, where during the course of time I write notes.

I try to detect the images possibility. The same picture sometime can be handle, cut, sample or become the basis for something new.

Other pictures are realized on specific themes, even on those, with time, I apply different alteration and become part of the archive itself.

Inevitable are the books reference for this archive which during the course of time you will find on The Booklist, I point out only few of them, here is the list:
