A masterpiece that is not a building or a house but a column. A masterpiece that is quite modest yet extremely powerful. A single element, a fragment. A column that, according to the two authors, was tested on site in real size in paper. A column that is not a literal structure but a joyful compositional device. A witty celebration of a non-structural element (architects should be stealing more columns from engineers). A column that is not honest but then, \u201cthere is no honesty in the history of architecture\u201d, as Maria Conen and Raoul Sigl say. A proudly placed figure that marks the transition from a living room to a terrace, tying the two spaces together using a peculiar language. The point where three different pavements meet. The column is slightly, yet deliberately, off-centred within an almost square doorframe. Its \u201cbody\u201d is composed of two parts, the very classy shaft and the capital. A glossy white cylinder with a wooden cube on top. A carefully calculated (or maybe, a simply intuitive) proportion and the correlation between the two parts. The two finishes are matching the frame, white on its sides and wood on top. A moderate complexity is introduced within a fragment of a building. A fragment that then becomes the centre of gravity of the entire space. A figure with a very specific character that casts a decisive shadow. Could it be a reference to Siza\u2019s rotating columns in the house of his brother, Ant\u00f3nio Carlos Siza? To Loos? To Schinkel? The column that supports nothing, but rather standing there alone as a monument. That column unhesitatingly takes place in a long history of posts, poles and pillars.<\/span><\/p>\n
