Abstract

The interview with architect Luigi Franciosini explores the intricate dialogue between architecture, archaeology, and landscape, focusing on the delicate balance between conservation and innovation. Drawing from his experiences—from the Porta Vecchia in Sutri to the Sette Sale project in Rome—Franciosini discusses architecture as an act of “listening” to the material, historical, and topographical layers that define a place. He  advocates an approach rooted in contextual awareness, craftsmanship, and interdisciplinary collaboration, where technology serves as a tool to reveal, not obscure, the historical fabric. Emphasizing the concepts of  “re-recognition” and “activation”,  he proposes a design philosophy that views history as a living continuum—a “suspended truth” open to interpretation, imagination, and renewal..
