01 / THE ARCHITECTURE

Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana

Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto La Padula & Mario RomanoEUR, Rome, Italy · Construction began in 1938

Known as the Square Colosseum, this twentieth-century building repeats 216 arches across four façades. Its travertine-clad geometry echoes the ancient Colosseum. CONHEART carries that repeated arch pattern into the walls of a concrete pen holder.

02 / FORM

A rhythm of arches.

Rows of recessed arches wrap the square form. Their depth makes a changing pattern of light and shadow across the façade.
