This book is a guide to an art of design that works with the weapons of a plausible imagination. Driven by the desire to tell an illustrated story – so invented as to seem true – we thought of repurposing photos, drawings and texts to build the pages of a lost travel notebook, as if it were designed by Le Corbusier in a dreamed return to the city of Naples before the his death. The intent is to express a new point of view on architecture through the oblivion of everything, with the exception of a city and a teacher only evoked.
