THE PART FOR THE WHOLE 23

San Carlo alle Quatre Fontane , Rome. 1634-1641. Francesco Castelli, Borromini

What's happening to architecture? What madman would dare to wave architect of the facade of a church in this way? What's new introduced in his creations? You know
Mannerism was a gradual departure from the classical ideals of harmony and perfection, but this ... seems too do not you think? Keep track of this secluded facade and find one of the most striking buildings of the architecture of all time. In addition, meet the Picasso of architecture, there is nothing!

I have not come into the world to copy the columns of the Colosseum!
This could be the rallying cry of this great Italian architect. Project a lot and built shortly. His style was so bold and groundbreaking for its time, that even today some of his creations are very disturbing. It was understood by his contemporaries, who saw in it a threat of what was thought to be good taste and architectural correctness. Had much to feel this genius of architecture! Walking through Rome is an experience for the senses, but huddled in a corner to discover this little church is a marvel. Undulating façade slides before our eyes as if the stone ever so inert were clay. The venerable old classical vocabulary is formed in the mind of the architect as a new syntax. The entablature, columns, sense of proportion, everything has changed, however, there is something familiar and close in the façade. When we entered the church space expands and expands before our eyes, walls undulate, white light that filters through the strangely shaped dome is reflected in the white walls and expands. We looked high and we are surprised that curious way that covers the nave, its organic and mysterious setting. Everything seems arbitrary and capricious, but in fact is misleading ... the complexity of the mathematics and geometric shapes that this space contains still amaze us today. Borromini
be cut off in a passionate outburst, tired of the intolerance of his contemporary, Bernini get all the glory, but his work remains the expression of a tormented genius and groundbreaking.
