Frank Lloyd Wright. Simbolismi della Robie House

The symbols represents the unconscious of man, archetypes disseminated throughout history, fragments that help to reconstruct the primordial essence of modernity. Architecture is nourished by symbols and transforms them into three-dimensional reality. The unconscious becomes a space for walking and living, the archetype becomes language. The author projects the symbolic universe of the project into the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, analyzing the main characteristics of the Robie House, one of the masterpieces of the American master. De Sessa digs, eviscerating in an original and eclectic way the primary reasons of doing architecture, helping us to understand that before the pencil and the sheet of paper, before the keyboard and the screen of a computer there is a galaxy made of dreams and design ideas that draw from the symbolic archetypes we encounter in the course of our lives.
