We
had no work and we were not paid, obviously. Since there was nothing to do,
I produced the mad architectural propositions that are represented in these
drawings.The others, they continued to do what they have always done. What
was good in the long run is that all of this has remained more or less hidden.
If I had become fashionable or fallen into the media, I would have continued
working on these things forever. But since there was a silence about my work,
I have never stopped working. I have worked a great deal. You cannot imagine
it. As you see, there are rolls of unfinished things all over here. Sometimes,
I find things, propositions about space, and I ask myself, "Ah, what was that?"---Roberto
