The colloquial relationship with Renato De Fusco, which began
in 2011 with his presentation of my book Theories of Contemporary Architecture. Paths of Postmodernism (2010), owes much to
his generous and complex thinking, capable of scrutinizing the
epistemological horizons of our discipline without preconceptions and limitations. His search for an integration between
structuralism and historicism, as well as his interest in Gadamerian-derived hermeneutics in the ongoing dialogue between us
and otherness, well demonstrate how open his speculative proceeding was to diverse contributions, even those distant from his
position. As long as it is well argued, everything can be “considerable and debatable” – De Fusco wrote in the 1st issue of “Op.
cit.” – and on this premise we continued to communicate at a
distance on the pages of the journal, a true crossroads of thoughts
and above all of people, bound together by a resistance way of
thinking against indifference, poverty of ideas, and prejudices
