«Savage Architecture presents a journey to the root of the relationship between architecture and man in four episodes. This fifty years-long journey among different experiments unveils the foundations of a project alternative to the current blind faith in the economic and technological reason. The anthropological gaze gives form to an architecture that is savage because it refuses to impose the power of reason over the symbolic, animal, vital and therefore political dimension of man.» Davide Sacconi
