The present work delves into coincidences and resonances between architecture and autobiography in the work (practical and theoretical) of Aldo Rossi and Smiljan Radic. From the physical manifestations of time on matter to the interferences between social organization and the built environment, the idea of "form [physical and sociological] of time" underlies. From the same Marcel Proust's aphorism, a coutersense is drawn: What is the form of the things that overcome time? Of sensitive things without time or form? What is the "form" of feelings, dreams, experience and memory? The body of work organizes a triptych. The first part reflects on the effects of time (atmospheric and chronological) on man's architecture and the impact of that same built construction over time on sociability. The second part is about the reciprocity between memory and specific. The autobiography is the leitmotif that formalizes the coincidences between the architecture-project and the life-project. The triptych ends with a return. The enigma of the cliff resumes the two great questions that disturb the reflection; - the fall upon intimacy and the formal/ architectural translation of sensitive things (feelings, dreams, identity and memory). The original aphorism is transfigured to achieve other meanings, however, this foundational principle that relates project and intimacy, the concrete and sensitive dimension, remains.
