This is one of his first 4 university projects [school of architecture; UC Berkeley], which he has entitled 'prototype-projects'. These 4, which he hopes to reproduce entirely in VRML, are: the 'Cenotaph', the observation 'Tower', the reading 'Room', the 'Library'. This particular project is the cenotaph, a monumental tomb with incorporated exhibition spaces. This would actually be Sandro's cenotaph, built to represent him after his death [hopefully after a couple centuries, at least]. Since Sandro has not yet generated a representative 'oeuvre', he has rented this virtual space to Louise von Wrangell [artist from Colombia/ Germany/ Spain]. In the next few years, she will present her work here.
path: Downwards entry over a pool of water; underground tunnel with openings towards 6 exhibition courtyards; main hall with glass skylight and metallic horns. floor plan= 15 x 65 feet; height= 20 feet.
