“…Ci sono miti culturali che consentono di riflettere sulla modernità a partire dalle sue radici, permettendo di indagarne gli sviluppi e le polarità fondamentali: tra questi, il mito della trasparenza che, nato in ambito architettonico con l’erezione del Crystal Palace di Londra nel 1851, da tempo non riguarda più soltanto la creazione di spazi caratterizzati da una totale reversibilità ottica di interno ed esterno, ma è ormai divenuto un concetto chiave del dibattito politico e sociale di tutto l’Occidente. …”
