ABSTRACT

“Mi punge vaghezza …” Marco Frascari said one day, pronouncing the words with the kind of emphasis that made it sound like a citation from a text that any serious reader of Italian literature pertinent to architecture should know. Frascari, for those who do not know him, is an angel of architecture 2 . Before he became an angel, he produced drawings, words, and actions that helped many of us think about and make architecture in ways we had not done before.
