The handle that could win the Compasso d'Oro
How can design speak of care? This handle goes beyond its primary function and rediscovers the symbolic value of design.
This is the new council building designed by Alessandro Anselmi (photo, right). The MAXXI in Rome has dedicated an exhibition to this and previous projects carried out over a 40-year career, and is curated by Margherita Guccione and designed by Anselmi himself. The architect from Rome has returned the honour with the promise of donating his archive to the museum. L.B.
