Angiolo Mazzoni's Reggio Calabria Station Building, constructed in 1938, is one of the latest works of a series of railway station buildings that Mazzoni had designed in Italy. One explanation for Reggio Calabria Station Building characteristic would be that it achieved the total design by systematic rule in each level from architecture to furniture. It was based on "The principle of architecture" that Mazzoni suggested in the magazine Architettura e Arti Decorative, in 1927. The rules adopt the following logic. First, a grid system is set for fixing the ground plan and the elevation of the architecture. Next, the same grid is divided equally as a layout of stones to finish the surface inside and outside of architecture; the built-in furniture also follows the layout of stones as a part of the architecture. In addition, shelves are also designed by the systematic way, determination of the proportion by the combination of contents inside and the division of the front of shelves.
