Reference 2 - René Magritte (Painting) x Carlo Scarpa (Architecture)

 Il telescopio (1963) - Rene Magritte
 
The Canova plaster cast gallery
Possagno, Treviso (1955-57) - Carlo Scarpa
 

The form and position of the openings were derived directly from an attempt to "cut out the blue of the sky" (Scarpa 1981): in the big  square room conceived glass corners alternately jutting in or out, which he had imagined as authentic blocks of light to create lighting from above.
