1934/36 Mario Ridolfi (1904/84) and Wolfgang
Frankl for the engineer Tullio Rea
Mario
Ridolfi was in 1933 in Germany and Switzerland, where he was able to appreciate
the German Rationalism applied to residential building
“It reflects
the direct knowledge of German residential architecture and of the experiments
of Central European rationalism” (Giorgio Muratore)
“The façade
is characterized by a 'thickness' (a theme already tried in previous projects),
of which the projections, the side cladding, the windows and the shelter of the
attic determine the articulated depth” (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
“The plan of
the building at Villa Massimo has a 'rational' layout but in a practical way,
deeply tied to the context. The formal character of the building, the
site-specific character, are always important for Ridolfi” (Website of DAUR of
the University of Padua)
