MINOTTI CUCINE TERRA KITCHEN DESIGN BY CLAUDIO SILVESTRIN
A
The kitchen project terra design by Claudio Silvestrin. The earth, its waters, its forests
and its mountains is extraordinarily beautiful in itself, in its simple and bare presence.
Differently from everyday artefacts, in which their use and function are predominant,
earth is what it is, independently from what we are, what we do and what use we give
to it. Conceiving the terra kitchen i imagined an object, which, useful and functional,
presents itself with the same strength as nature: Solid, timeless and abstract. I
expressed the immense value of the earth with a rigorous geometrical shape and
natural materials - porphiry and cedar. Cooking on a porphiry worktop, which is
twenty-eight million years old, makes me feel reverent and fortunate at the same time.
The 45° edge union between the worktop and fronts, as well as the narrow vertical
and horizontal profiles, shape regular and cadenced volumes. Tall units also have a
similar module. Terra was originally designed in stone, but it is now available in wood,
high gloss or matt lacquer.

MINOTTI CUCINE
FOSCARINI JAMAICA LIGHT
A
Minotti cucine has always been in ponton di Sant’ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the
province of Verona. The church of San Giorgio in a closeby little borough of early
christian origin has been source of inspiration for Minotti Cucine. Its peculiar aspect
evokes three main concepts: A majestic, mono- chrome and –material ethos.
The walls and floors of this sacred building are made up of large stone slabs coming
from this area: The lessinia white stone. Its pure volumes are emphasized by the
natural light filtering from the few, long and narrow openings. At first the inside is
apparently dark, but once the visitor’s eyes get used to this half-light, it’s unavoidable
to perceive “the visual silence and spiritual peace”.
The majesty of San Giorgio church, whose main expression is the massive and
vertical presence of the bell tower, has inspired Minotti Cucine to design thick
volumes. It also influenced the architecture of Minotti Cucine seat: the perfect
proportions can be observed in the long and narrow walkway made up of large white
lessinia stone slabs.
Moreover, the surrounding areas of Minotti Cucine have always been recognized as
those where stone is treated and cut. The local culture traditionally relied on the
wisdom and high quality of crafty masters.
Since the 60s and 70s Minotti Cucine has designed kitchens with stone worktops and
then with stone sinks following an antique tradition. A further evolution has been
designing stone fronts, thus reaching a horizontal and vertical material uniqueness.
The kitchen that has been exposed for 10 years in the company’s garden is timeless

evidence of this history.
A further valuable aspect of minotti cucine is its custom-made approach: each project
is unique, designed and manufactured to satisfy every single and exclusive need.

CLAUDIO SILVESTRIN
HOUSE OF MODERN DESIGN
A
I have been educated to believe that being an architect is a vocation, just as it is a
vocation to be a priest. I have been educated to believe that architecture is the most
complete form of art, bridging man and nature, earth and sky, god and mortals. I have
believed, and still do, that architecture is composing poetry on earth in partnership
with the earth; that architecture has the role of transmitting the emotion of matter,
space, light and water. . I think the most popular contemporary construction nowadays
is the exaltation of perverse and simplistic forms, reflecting a union that is neurotic and
narcissistic, ignoring five thousand years or more of history. Modern man feels that he
is the centre of the universe; his arrogance and vanity demand constructions that are
in fact mirrors. The powerful man and the neurotic man subconsciously recognize
themselves in the high-tech style, in sensationalist and deconstructive architecture.
One must be blind or asleep not to notice: We are a materialistic civilisation of
institutionalised, perverse forms. It is a real disaster: The forms of contemporary
construction have separated from the stars. The clearest paradox, represented by
religious buildings, is the most saddening. these edifices are sensationalistic, self gratifications in reinforced concrete; they have ceased to be spaces for god and have
become places for man. It is not a matter of right or wrong but of acknowledging and
being aware of this, in order to make decisions that embody firm principles. The
contemporary architect is fortunate that he or she has the freedom of choice, a
responsible choice. One should ask: Is architecture the expression of a deepening
thought or is it a non-critical conformity? Questioning does not mean going against
evolution and progress; on the contrary, serious questioning can bring a contribution
to awaken the sensitivity of man towards an evolution that is not only technological
and materialistic but a total evolution that is simultaneously material and spiritual,

modern and archaic, anthropological and ecological. Religious attitude living the
profession of contemporary architect in a religious manner requires a psychological
trauma that is almost permanent. To clarify, i'm not speaking of recognised and
institutionalized religion, but of a religious attitude, serious, profound, rigorous, healthy
and full. A rock against rampant corruption, with unshaken faith in onès mission and in
the gift of talent one wants to offer in order to ensure the survival of sensibility in the
world. Proposing the poetry of space with novelty and individuality leads to uncertainty
and incomprehension, and the interlocutor is caught off guard. If for materials you
propose water rather than plastic, stone rather than glass, a void rather than
unconditional exploitation of space, elegance rather than sensationalism, the symbol
rather than the captivating effect, the magic of light rather than light as a lux quantity, a
primitive sense rather than a contemporary one. They respond: -architect, enough with
poetry, nobody wants it anymore, people don't understand it anyway! Architect, you're
so old fashioned! Architect, very nice! But the space needs to be exploited, at the price
i paid for it! Architect, you're too sophisticated! Architect, but there isn't enough light! architect, what are archetypes? Paradoxically the more you encounter ignorance, lack
of sensibility, arrogance, mediocrity and corruption, the stronger the desire not to
succumb to this poisoning of the spirit. It's true, if you play the game, you can build
big, have multimedia success, fame, money and power. And there is freedom to
choose, which, fortunately, every architect or designer has today. Sure, the powerful
make you pay for it, they don't allow you to win a competition because you didn't dine
with a member of the jury, they don't give you a building permit because you don't
propose what is in vogue at the moment, they don't choose you because you're not
part of their club. I remember once at a presentation for a residential project
competition in Switzerland, the presiding professor of the jury said that my project had
a palladium flavour. I blushed from the embarrassment, from the surprise and from the
compliment. Thanks! I responded innocently. I was eliminated, because for that swiss
scholar, palladium meant italian and, therefore, not modern. At a presentation at the
landmark of New York, they told me that rather than presenting a project with an
individual and unique configuration, as the one i proposed, i had to take inspiration
from recently constructed buildings designed by the usual big names. At a competition
in which i participated in Italy, the first seven prizes where given to seven university
professors of the same city, not one architect of national fame of international fame –
absolutely outrageous. To defend their territory, the bosses of the various clans
(including those of architects) put obstacles in your way and when you manage to
build something, they prevent communication of your achievements or render them
insignificant in the context of contemporary culture. My fortune is, on one hand, my
faith in the meaning of my work and, on the other, my spontaneity in forgetting about
the disappointments, betrayals and eliminations and looking forward, pushing ahead
like an elephant, with the enthusiasm of doing and creating, albeit with the knowledge
that human ingratitude knows no limits. The supreme ambition great architects and
great architecture are my source of inspiration when it comes to my ethics and
designs. But that is not all: essays, philosophy, poetry, even reading the newspaper
can stimulate my creative thought process and my design choices. On 20th december
2004 i read an excellent article by Francesco Alberoni in Corriere Della Sera, entitled
‘a world that moves very fast but knows not how to dream'. the writer accurately
observes the results that cultural relativism, Its frenzy and superficiality, have had on
modern society. We might ask ourselves what this has to do with the occupation of
architect. Well nothing, if we believe in tidy categorisation and we view the profession
as specialist and compartmentalised. I believe however that being an architect does
not mean being removed from cultural relativism, the kafkaesque machine. Indeed i
believe it expresses the concept just as well as a fashion magazine or a cd that is
used up and quickly forgotten. The majority of critics within the sector believe that the
architect should express the culture of his time. The dogmatic architect views this
media truth as absolute. Luckily for me this ‘fact' is not written in any sacred texts or in
plato, and so doubting its authenticity is legitimate. Indeed i would go even further and
suggest that the very task of the architect is not to express the values of cultural
relativism or even his own contemporary culture. In 1927, the German Pavilion
designed by Mies Van der Rohe in barcelona was a masterpiece that broke
completely from the conventions of the time. A masterpiece that is still visible today, its
innovative spirit certainly didn't reflect the predominant culture of its day. Alberoni talks

about decadence in his article but at the same time also of hope, dreams and
spirituality. The spirituality of the layman is pointless, a waste, redundant. Alberoni's
conclusion should perhaps be food for thought for the designer who says ‘not me!' or
for the planner who refuses to construct ‘self-expressing' perverse forms of today's
sensationalism. The article concludes thus: ‘[because there is] a place where every
now and then we can take shelter, purify ourselves, find some peace and come out
again stronger. Without this we would slide into an intolerable abyss.' the more
superficial reader may think of an exotic holiday destination, but when Alberoni talks of
purification he is not talking of our bodies in terms of tired flesh and bones, or a
nervous system fraught with stress, but rather the purification of the mind. Is this the
supreme ambition of architecture? And why supreme? Because a purified mind puts
the driving force of our inner animal desire to sleep and awakens our consciousness
of the divine that exists in nature. The man-animal makes room for the man-spiritual.
