Colosseo Quadrato

The "Colosseo Quadrato" (Palce of the Italian Civilization) of EUR in Rome is a striking monument. I had occasion to observe it closely for a long period. It changes poetically its colour with weather conditions and the large glasses of the windows reflect the clouds of the sky. The strong shadows of the "holes" change ceaselessly with the time of the day. In summary, apart its obvious metaphysic character, it interacts with the surrounding environment in a fascinating way. The only problem is, that its volumes are useless for living, work, exposition, any other practical use. In other words, it is not architecture, but an (oversized) installation. Considering that perhaps the first recognized installations are by Fontana fifteen years later, quite an interesting piece of art.
