1934/35 Andrea Busiri Vici (1903/89), grand-son of the
namesake architect Andrea Busiri Vici (1818/1911)
Interesting
architecture with airy terraces in continuous bands
Five-storey
building with eleven apartments
The family
dynasty of architects Busiri Vici was notable for the enormous amount of work
done in Rome and for an attachment to the traditional language of architecture,
also due to a type of clients generally not eager to particular stylistic
adventures
“This
building is perhaps the project where the 'detachment from the times' typical
of the Busiri Vicis appears to be less present: its stylistic characters
converse in fact fully with the Roman architectural production of the thirties.
(...) The typological scheme is organized in so as to eliminate the usual
internal small courtyards: the two sets of stairs are in fact well-ventilated
and illuminated directly from the covered terraces placed on both sides” (Piero
Ostilio Rossi)
