Incorrects or Wright
The Grand Canal of Venice is the most spectacular of all urban transport roads. The gondolas and motorboats chugging dignity driving its waters and its shores are lined with pink with the great palace, decorated with balconies with hives and cake icing beauty and delicacy. Last week, Venetians and lovers of Venice were heated to an aesthetic and emotional conflict with the defenders of progress and modern architecture. The problem: a proposal to build a house of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in a curve of the Grand Canal.
It all began during 1952, when a wealthy Italian entrepreneur named Paolo Masieri Wright architect responsible for designing a building as a memorial Masieri son Angelo, who was killed in a car accident the USA’s new palace was intended to be used as a centre of studies and areas for students in architecture. A site was chosen on the Grand Canal, between 15 glorious century, Ca ‘Foscari, once in the State of residence of the Doges, and the 16 century Palazzo Balbi. The House of Wright’s Palazzo accession to the Annex is a Brownstone residence.
Wright Four plans for a structure of the dark history, veined marble decorated with colored glass from the famous factories nearby Murano. In his draft, he kept the balconies, for Venice is known, but separately with Sheer, the vertical front of the building would certainly modern lines.
Even before draft Wright, the approval by the city of Venice of the Council, which had shown by the public, the battle began. The idea of a house Frank Lloyd Wright on the Grand Canal was enough. The art critic for the Italian weekly L’Europeo announced that “even if Wright were ten times higher than Michelangelo, it would be presumptuous to try him on the Canal Grande. Letter to the writer of London “Times” announced the invasion of Wright as “a piece of vandalism inexcusable.” Marie Beale Truxtun, a wealthy American socialite, has helped raise more than $ 125000 for repairs at St. Mark’s Basilica, wrote the mayor Venice, Angelo Spanio: “To defend the city. If you allow it, I regret that everything for you. ”
In his country last week, Arizona, architect Wright himself has objections against its buildings such as the work of “unerleuchtet sentimentalists” - mostly tourists. He said: “I love Venice and in designing palaces, I tried to show that love for the culture of Venice, and not enter into it … In as an architect, I hope, may be Venice, you save the tourists. “
