“我家房子的设计过程开始遵循一种直觉，这种直觉是随着时间的推移以我们现在所能看到的形式发展起来的。”在这个项目的演变过程中，我经历了一个转变，就像国王的复兴一样。其中一个主要的催化剂是专辑“在宫中的深红色国王”，居住在我的潜意识通过宣泄自己在这个项目。

“The design process for my family’s house started following an intuition, that developed over time taking the form we can see now. During the evolution of the project a transformation, like the renewal of the king, has occurred in me. One of the major catalysts has been the album “In the Court of the Crimson King” by King Crimson, inhabiting my subconsciousness unraveling itself through catharsis in this project.

一开始，我想象着要修复这座建筑，让它有一个连贯的堡垒-又一次看上去像堡垒。当这座塔在我的想象中形成时，一座城堡出现了，国王把自己困在里面，被他的恐惧所淹没，他的阴暗面容易腐烂和死亡，尼格多人。法庭的紧张、顺从和牺牲演变为希望、重生、工程本身。“

At the beginning I imagined to restore the building giving it a coherent fortress-like look again. Whilst the tower took shape in my imagination, a castle emerged in which the King had trapped himself, overwhelmed by his fears, his dark side, prone to decay and death, the Nigredo. The court where tension, resignation and sacrifice evolved into hope, rebirth, the project itself. ”

这座城市和它的各个部分可以看作是一首乐谱，这座大厦是由不同乐器同时演奏的音符。一首旋律是由罗马人所称的天才所在地，这个地方的精神，城市的指挥家创造的。历史中心通常有一种清晰、和谐的旋律，但城市外层的声音往往被破坏，缺乏一位能够在整个空间和时间整合建筑干预措施的指挥家。音符相互跟随，没有计划，不平衡，产生了放纵和冷漠的感觉。

The city and its various parts can be seen as a music score, the edifices acting as notes played by different instruments simultaneously. A melody is created by, what the Romans used to call Genius Loci, the spirit of the place, the conductor of the city. Historic centres usually have a clear, harmonious melody, but oftentimes the soundscapes of the outer layers of a city are disrupted, lacking a conductor able to integrate architectonic interventions throughout space and time. Notes follow each other without a scheme, unbalanced, generating feelings of abandon and indifference.

温柔的天才就是在这样的环境中诞生的，目的是让人们意识到当前的危急状况。它在城市音乐乐谱中设置了一个新的键，恢复了在时间上丢失的一个深深的音符，重新发明了本地乐器，使其成为来自未来的声音，使天才轨迹再次谱写新的音乐。

Gentle Genius is born in such an environment, aiming to generate awareness of the critical current condition. It sets a new key in the urban music score, recovering a deep note lost in time, reinventing local instruments to manifest as a sound from the future, allowing the Genius Loci to compose new music again.

该地区的天才位置，经过几十年的放弃，终于从它的睡眠中崛起。正面开始振动，因为它的结构创造了一个不断移动的表面。红色代表天才的力量。红色是可见光谱中波长最长的，可以与身体感觉到的最长声波联系在一起，而不是接触我们的耳朵。因此，它触及了观众的本能，它不是线性的，而是从墙壁延伸出来的多方面的感知，把一座住宅变成了一座雕塑。观众潜意识中沉睡的感觉被唤醒和搅动，增强了主导情绪的强度，就像一面镜子。灵魂找到了再次出现的地方，他震动和触摸外面的人，保护和庇护那些欢迎他的人。

The Genius Loci of the area, after decades of abandon, has finally arisen from its sleep. The facade starts to vibrate and due to its structure creates an ever moving surface. The red represents the strength of the genius. Red has the longest wave length of the visible spectrum and can be associated with the longest sound-waves that, rather than touching our ears, are felt in the torso. Hence it touches the instincts of the viewer, it is not linear, it is multifaceted perception that reaches out from the walls, transforming a residential building into a sculpture. The dormant feelings in the subconscious of the viewer are awakened and stirred, augmenting the intensity of the predominant emotion, acting like a mirror. The spirit has found a place to emerge again, he shakes and touches those that are outside and protects and shelters those that have welcomed him.
