At the entrance of the Architecture Archives center two large oil paintings, recently acquired, which represent a sort of cultural legacy of Dario Passi, whose activity over time has passed from architectural practice, still exercised by means of a graphic representation of high quality, to the tout-court artistic realization. A tribute to the recently deceased architect and artist, through the presentation of architectural drawings in which the particular use of the pictorial medium is the instrument of investigation and excavation of built reality.
