Quote: “Robba impresses with its powerful artistic expression. Architects with the help of a simple spatial envelope of geometric patterns that are a paraphrase of Baroque design with Robba’s Fountain, managed to create a dynamic meeting place. Robba shows harmonious balance between illusion and reality.”
