By that he means that he does not hang out on the architecture scene. He is not a networker, a golf player or a talker at public or academic events. All that he describes as the ‘blah, blah, blah’ of architecture. Silvestrin’s architecture is often described as austere, and the term could well be applied to the man himself....</p> <p>Discussing architecture with Silvestrin is not straightforward. He prefers to let his work speak for itself, partly because he is not keen on the way architects constantly promote themselves, but mostly because the intended effect of his work is emotional rather than theoretical or social. It means that he has been somewhat shunned by the academic crowd, though is embraced by those in fashion, art and music."</p><a href="http://www.blueprintmagazine.co.uk/index.php/architecture/interview-claudio-silvestrin/" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">please read more here...</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">-------------------------------</span><br /><br /><br /><br />
