The genesis of a unique and exclusive product is told directly by the author, Dante Oscar Benini, and sculpted in his relationship\/meeting with a great protagonist of the project culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factum was taken from the “Verum ipsum factum<\/strong><\/em>” inscription on the monumental <\/strong>front door of the IUAV at the Tolentini in Venice, designed by Carlo Scarpa. The motto “truth is itself something made” is a vivifying principle of the philosophy of Giambattista Vico, where the Latin terms VERUM and FACTUM have a reciprocal relationship.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the Neapolitan philosopher, also for the Venetian architect the search for the truth became one with the doing; and that “doing” contains in itself the germ of thought \u2013 the generator of development of any idea or project \u2013 which is proper to the human mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story reaches Venice by water, accompanied by the sound of a “mental percussion”, that of a continuous hammering that derives from Maestro Scarpa, which the architect Benini feels every time he is about to embark on a new journey, a new project: in fact, it is the role of the drummer in a band, but this relentless musician is in his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solid: we mean the material of the Gate that welcomes the students of the IUAV, a huge stone that necessarily evokes the image of a solid and not a stone slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A split solid, because it is firmly cut with an inclination that has been brought back inside the wooden surface project – exactly in the upper right corner \u2013 thus creating a showy and characteristic missing angle in the solid described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During our last meeting, Benini said that “Even though Prof. Bruno Zevi warned me that, under penalty of being deleted from his reviews, I should abandon my deep-rooted mental percussion, which originates from my training with Carlo Scarpa, the mark and DNA of his teachings are like indelible scars in my soul. Although I am aware of the responsibility I have in transferring a thought to something that will become material and of social use and, perhaps due to my humble ambition, even make history, when I am about to use the pencil on a blank sheet, my mind runs through all his signs and all his works”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
