Under the artistic and philosophical guidance of Luciano Romoli, we bring together the 'two cultures' - scientific and humanistic - through creativity and imagination.

Art and Science
The fusion of the "two cultures" - scientific and humanistic - imbued with the privileged bond of imagination and creativity, has given rise to a singular form of art that CDR cultivates and promotes with passion and dedication: videos, images, installations, performances, architectural structures, and furniture modules. A constellation of expressive forms in which the artistic soul converses gracefully with technology.
Luciano Romoli
I have always believed that imagination precedes knowledge, and that the very fruit of knowledge is all the richer and more flavorful when imbued with curiosity and intuition. My time has been nourished by an art whose substance draws from science and whose development has been guided by technology – the same technology that has supported the metaphysics of my ideas, which have coexisted, in a complementary way, with the poetry of science and with the ninety-degree angles of inescapable technique.

A Work of Aesthetic Exploration
The structure embodies an aesthetic exploration that draws its creative impulse from the interplay of three scientific concepts: resonance, studied among others by Huygens; the representation of harmonic functions according to Fourier; and the curve known as the conchoid, conceived by the Greek geometer Nicomedes around 200 B.C.
The developed architectural form materializes shapes inspired by scientific principles and composed according to an aesthetic rationale.
Just as every architectural structure results from a synthesis in which elements of spirituality and materiality converge, so in this form the geometry of space unfolds along lines whose contours evoke – one might say, “resonate” – with the soaring spires of a Gothic cathedral.
