Abstract
The archival sources that document the transformations of Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona in Naples, currently Casa Morra - Archivio d’Arte contemporanea (Archive of Contemporary Art), and the name of the architect who conceived its impressive eighteenth-century staircase are uncertain. The grandeur of the staircase in Palazzo Cassano d’Aragona consists of being both materially and immaterially ‘out of scale’, a narrative event of boundless emotion in the ‘immense’ concept of architectural space. With a hexagonal plan, the design of the planimetric and altimetric layout is the result of the skilful ability to articulate elementary geometric forms in a plastic and dynamic space, vibrating with structural tensions as well as multiple symmetrical and asymmetrical visions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
