Abstract

The Seven Palaces of the Sky in the Pirelli HangarBicocca represent an artistic document of primary significance concerning the meaning of modernity. They are set in the context of a Modern Architecture and seem to be in a conflictual relationship with it. We have to do with a conflict regarding the concept of time in the late-Modernity and the way in which it is lived and conceived. The Seven Palaces of the Sky are ready to fall down while the Architecture of HangarBicocca is devoted to a rationalistic eternity. From this local conflict the text draws some considerations on the destiny of our time and of the conception of it.
