An aerial view of Il Girasole, the rotating house

我们对几何结构很好，但是当我们听说它还能旋转360度时，我们就知道我们想要更多。
幸运的是，这是由马塞尔·梅利和克利斯朵夫·施瓦布（ChristophSchaub）提出的一个引人注目的17分钟电影的形式，该影片讲述了在意大利北部的波谷山坡上建造的旋转现代主义住宅的故事。
这所房子建于上世纪30年代，由建筑师AngeloInverizzi和Eet撕费尤利建造，艺术家、雕塑家、家具制造商和建筑师朋友们的帮助。
通过电动马达，ILGirasle能够在其圆形基座上旋转360度，高度激进，使得该房屋的所有部件(包括其庭院)是该结构的旋转球体的一部分。
这部电影是简单而直接的，并列出了建筑的工程细节和历史的揭幕，建筑师和他的妻子与这个空间互动，讲述了建筑师的女儿。
这部影片显示了一种教育进入最理想的建筑形式，这部电影展示了如何在没有妥协的情况下将建造一个空间的意图从概念引入到完工的建筑，这表明即使最雄心勃勃的事业也可以被视为未来建筑的原型。

The hallway of Il Girasole, where a switch built into the wall (on the left hand side of in this picture) is able to turn on the electric motor that starts the rotation of the house

Built in the 1930s by architects Angelo Invernizzi and Ettore Fagiuoli, the house is also affectionately know as 'The Sunflower', perhaps for the characteristic way it turns around the landscape to gradually face a new vista each time

Used as a retreat from city life, the house only rotates when it is occupied

There is no particular reason for the preference, but when the house is empty, it stays turned towards the valley

 Marcel Meili and Christoph Schaub's film of Il Girasole has been recently released in conjunction with a 48 page hardback booklet containing 16 colour and 10 black and white illustrations    

The construction costs for Il Girasole were substantial at the time. Wanting to follow through the intention that nothing should be bult as before, the build continued, with the architects inviting their artist, sculptor, furniture-makers and architect friends to participate

The film is an education into the purest aspirational form of architecture, of how a simple intention to build a space can be brought from conception to finished construction
