1980 Venezia Ponte Academia 1

The Berlin Lützowplatz project 

is articulated in the city and to the city 

through a form that is always open 

- the spiral - 

which inaugurates an order 

that is not fold up on itself

and which, moreover, 

cannot be closed. 

The spiral takes the other into itself 

in an ever increasing space.

The start of the spiral  

is the new structure of the Lützowplatz, 

which inaugurates 

this ever more open structure

which is literally always unfinished and infinite.

It is a non-renaissance space 

because it offers 

an ever greater opening onto the Real.

The buildings along the spiral 

have a structure 

whose size increases infinitesimally. 

Each inner place is thus also 

infinitesimally different 

from the previous and the next. 

There is no 'same' in this project. 

A radial structure crosses the spiral 

to increase a sensitive relationship to its inauguration.

This project gives us to think 

what a city would be like 

where the feeling of openness 

to the other and to Real 

would be ever growing.
