"Learning from Las Vegas which was published in 1972 by Ventury and Scott Brown encouraged architects to get away with their imaginary conceptions of the ideal city to focus on reality and find a model to reproduce, imitate or mock. For sure, Sandro Della Noce’s sculpture has integrated the lesson. His technical mastery does not serve a soilless production. Rather it fosters pieces without any a priori that call on motives of Modernist utopias just as prosaic images : ones of not-qualified spaces lacking tradition, construction sites, railways, industrial parks…"
