E.N.Rogers, Mostra “Architettura Misura Dell’uomo”, IX Triennale di Milano (Italy), 1951

In this project, large frames have been freely arranged in a room to form a plastic spatial composition. The theme of this room is architecture, the synthesis of the physical and spiritual measure of the human. Here you are the protagonists of architecture. Direct emotions are awakened by the aesthetic and conceptually contrasting images of the panels that hung from the ceiling on large canvases, connected with metal rods, in an environment where the pebble floor gave an external character. The viewer thus became the architecture itself. As he moved between the panels, he could enjoy different viewpoints of the hall and make choices to contrast places, times and measures to make comparisons. A certain comparison gets different meanings depending on the circumstances in which the relationship of two or more images is placed with respect to the whole. The images were hung in space to look at the viewer from various heights and enveloping angles to place the human being at the center of the project.
