Auditorium – Spaces and Presences

“Auditorium – Spaces and Presences” is a photographic exploration of Renzo Piano’s Auditorium in Rome, a place where architecture becomes both landscape and stage. The project unfolds in two complementary movements that reveal the dual nature of this iconic complex.

Spaces and volumes

SPACES AND VOLUMES

In this first section, the camera focuses on the architectural body of the Auditorium: its curved shells, the tension between metal and brick, the sculptural interplay of light and shadow. These images isolate forms and materials, allowing the building to emerge as a sequence of volumes suspended between solidity and abstraction. The absence of people amplifies the sense of stillness, turning the spaces into resonant chambers where geometry becomes the primary voice.

PRESENCES

The second section introduces human figures moving through these same spaces. Their gestures, scale, and trajectories activate the architecture, revealing its purpose as a lived environment. Here, the Auditorium becomes a social organism: a place shaped by encounters, pauses, and movement. The presence of people does not diminish the architecture — it completes it.
