He founds the "3Δ Digenis" as development of the " Digenis workshop ", extending
the studying activity to all the sectors of the architectural and urban planning, serving
the beginning of "from the spoon to the city" (dal cucchiaio alla città!), that the architect
E.N.Rogers made manifesto of an entire generation of architects, propagating and
appearing through the periodical Casabella the modern architectural planning as a
completed process of human spirit and intellect and no simple building process.
These perceptions and places constitute the ideological base of the 3Δ Digenis office.
