"Mediterranean Houses" is a collection of inlaid paintings of the Sorrento tradition, designed by the architect Salvatore Gargiulo with the theme of the beauty of Mediterranean vernacular architecture.
Mediterranean architecture is an esoteric grammar that formally embraces every Mediterranean country, where every place expresses its geometries, colors and harmonies.
Furthermore, it is characterized by various key elements such as the pergola, the lemon groves, the orange groves, the Mediterranean scrub, the views over the sea, the arch, the patio, the vault, the avenues, the columns, the white plaster, the mosaics, local materials and recycled materials, the terrace, the balcony, connecting rooms, the light.
Historical Mediterranean architecture was the object of study of the Neapolitan school of architecture of the 1930s, where the various architects and engineers of the time experimented with architectural compositions and created the same in Naples, Capri, Positano, Sorrento and surrounding areas.
“Mediterranean Houses” is a concept conceived as an architect's personal notebook, where the designer draws from life, with colored pencils and pens, the proportion of the formal beauties of the architecture of the Amalfi coast, dragging the idea from paper to wood.
