history is like tetris. stratifying themselves in time, events are snap-fit elements that often show voids. the legend means the will to fill these voids. the archetype of fortified architecture, landamrk & dominant of the landscape wherein is strategically built, gets abstracted into a pure & circular shape. hidding an inner court [the secret garden], the different spaces & functions, distributed on the perimeter, let the users admire the context at 360°. totally laid over the ground level, the structural clearness & the constructive semplicity exclude excavations in order to preserve the archeological heritage. the crown, icon & symbol of Camelot & King Arthur legend, turns into a one volume with the harmonious rhythm of continuous pitched roofs [typical of local architecture]. the mirror glass facades capture & reflect the surrounding nature. the evanescent architecture gets form to a new immaterial & intangible castle that disappears and dissolves into surrounding landscape. evocation of the legend. the illusion of the allusion.
