My chosen plans

My theory: Architecture is inherently public, and therefore should be designed for the good of the people.

I've decided to base my architecture school on the Nolli plans of Rome.  When reviewing the lecture content in deciding which plan to choose, I recalled that I had heard about the Nolli plan somewhere else, but I couldn't recall where.  Later, I realised that the Nolli plan was referred to in one of the articles I used to create my mash-up.   In the interview with Snohetta Architects, Kjetil Thorsen said: 

The Nolli plans of eighteenth-century Rome are very close to how we perceive relationships between public and non-public spaces within the office. In the [Nolli] plans, you see the division in black and white between private and public. There is no differentiation between interior and exterior public spaces. The interiors of the churches are the same colour as the streets. It reveals something about the way we can think in terms of distinguishing inside and outside.
