Delirious Palazzina

Working on the Flaminio competition… soon on this blog.

Where we choose to reuse one of the most successfull typologies of modern Rome, making them part of the public city. Playing with some of the most famous masterpieces that have been produced by an extraordinary encounter in between the roman bourgeoisie and a bunch of very talented architects.

The pink pod

An unexpected outcome of the Floating Architecture installation, made with some of the inflatables survived to the compressor, and not necessary for the installation.
A small pink pod that has been appropriate, played, dsmantled by the Muscolino new generation.    Finally real wild interaction, and a fantastic idea for the next workshop!

Floating Architecture @ Tasmeem 3ajeeb in Doha, a diary

Landed in Doha  at VCU Qatar for the extraordinary week of Tasmeem 3ajeeb, together with other extraordinary people to make workshops and lectures, all linked by the ajeeb theme “strange in a strange way, cool in a cool way, and slightly weird in a slightly weird way”.
We arrived with 200 pink swim rings + 850 meters of white tape to create Floating Architecture, a bigger and pink version of the installation made in 2010 for AILATI at the Venice Biennale, a space to stay, to interact with, or a strange pink monster to place in the University.
On Sunday the 8th of march we start brainstorming with the students, searching for the best way to make a physical model of this modular and organic architecture, we opt for a form in between a tent and a manta…
Third day: we start to hang the installation in the main atrium, while a group of students inflate the 200 rings.

And finally the opening on Thursday:
A great photo opportunity for everybody!
that spreads in the social medias immediatly

Last day, after the opening, we leave for a desert trip, bringing with us some inflatables…
Ready to float on the sand dunes?
And finally, some rings survived for do what they have been made for:
It was a fantastic 3ajeeb week, and if you pass from Doha, the pink monster should be still there.

Into the screen

Once there was a videogame museum in Rome that we were asked to study…

Based on a very simple principle, of a sequence of tables / screen in sequenceMarking the different eras of the videogame history, both with the white frame/table and a transparent screen for videoprojections

Inserted in the thickness of the table/frame the space for the memorabilia, screens and so on…
A project as many others lost in the unpredictable flows of events and some days ago re-emerged from our archives.
