MAISON DE LA LuMIERE This practise of architecture is named after its founder Duilio Damilano who moved to Milan, in order to follow a work- shop by Daniel Libeskind, where he’s developed his concept of architectural research directed towards the concreteness of space. His passion for volumes, instead, comes from a family of sculptors, his father and his brother have passed on to him an interest for the plastic and material aspect of every sculpture or architecture. Duilio Damilano says that he’s always been attracted by architectures since childhood. His design path begins from the study of the light and how it affects and moulds the shapes.
