The Bbpr group has focused its architectural research on a synthesis between structural order and the formal freedom of complementary parts even in the design of symbolic and commemorative works where, in the absence of a practical function, the interpretative variations are performed by elements inserted on the basis of aesthetic criteria. The ‘metal cage’ of the monument at the Milan Cemetery, which can be considered a paradigm of rationality, is not, however, a pure formal representation, but constitutes a register which affirms the control of infinite space against irrationality, ignorance and violence. The warning function merges with the concept of the actual order of rationalism and the geometry, which can be traced with similar intensity in their designs on the same theme of deportation and lagers, intervenes to depict the connection between space and suffering.
Keywords: Rational control; symbolic interpretation; warning function.
