‘Emotional architecture’ is what Teresa Sapey herself says lies behind
her projects. Pure emotions, aroused through color, unusual
dimensions and spaces, achieving results which do not aim to be
merely functional and esthetic. Color and exuberance also infiltrate
her books: after Sapore Sapey (Sapey Flavor, a quite unique recipe
book, halfway between cuisine and design, the second stage in the
world of this architect is Sapone Sapey (Sapey Soap): a book of five
chapters describing five different recipes for using soap, from large
things (such as planes) to the things we use habitually in daily life.
And there are plenty of bubbles, surely the most magical and
interesting form of abstract art, between the soap recipes.
