TITLE: The Shapes and Perspectives of Rationalist Architecture

A series of photos taken in EUR, a southern district of Rome conceived and developed for the universal expo of 1942, that was never held due to World War II.

The rigor of the forms, the elliptical shapes, the dramatic visual impact of the sculptures adorning some of the buildings, create unusual perspectives and emotional effects.

AUTHOR: Giampaolo Cantini (Italy)

An amateur photographer, now 68, he started photographing in the mid 80s and switched to black and white photography soon afterwards.
While living in New York City in the early 90s, he took a special interest in street art, especially in Alphabet City and other areas of Lower Manhattan.
Giampaolo turned to digital photography a few years ago.
He is currently working on a few main areas: architecture (with a focus on rationalism of the 30s), street art, gardens and “secret corners”.
The common thread of his work is actually the magic and the mystery that springs out of street life, architecture (including gardens architecture) and a host of secret corners around us.
