Architecture has very often been a representation of the cosmos, not only because with its known laws it relates directly to the scale of the universe and bestows geometries and configurations on the shape of space, but also because it keeps the starry sky beneath a ceiling, or inside a sphere. Since architecture is involved with space it is the ideal art with which to build worlds: from Egyptian temples to medieval chapels, from gardens as symbolic references to Eden, to mazes on a complex stone floor.

Corrado Di Domenico (Napoli 1972), is an architect and teacher of Architectural Design at the Department of Architecture of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (formerly S.U.N). Convinced of the cognitive nature of Architecture in the broadest sense, he carries out research – together with his teaching activities - above all through design competitions, participating in exhibitions and obtaining numerous prizes and awards. His projects have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 1996, 2000, 2004 and at the Mediterranean Landscape Biennale in 2005. He has published Il luogo e la Stanza (The place and the room), 2007 (Italian Ed.), Piattaforme (Platforms), 2007 (Italian Ed.), Il punto di vista immaginario (The imaginary point of view), 2012 (Italian Ed.) and World, architecture shaped as, for “LetteraVentidue” in 2017.
