“Ceramic Casalgrande Cloud” premiere with an impressive virtual anticipation at the Milan design week.
A veil of organza floating, transparent and light is set to divide the courtyard between the quiet and more secluded areas prepared at the State University of Milan, in the context of events organized by Think Tank Interior.

The organza chosen to represent the concept of partition of the space is, at the same time, supple material, the bearer of mutability and ambivalence: every breath of wind is gentle enough to move, each beam of light to penetrate and make it shine. It is with the company installing CCCWall Casalgrande Valley and the master Kengo Kuma affirmed their presence in the important event in Milan Fuorisalone 2010.

If the day is setting up diaphanous vision and evanescent, placed in two separate gardens ideal – similar and dissimilar, with white ceramic tiles and marble stones – is at sunset that the magic takes shape, revealing to viewers the game luminisitico and geometric ceramic tile that make up the “Casalgrande Ceramic Cloud.” Projected onto the veil of organza, semi-transparent and continuous movement, says the story of the day and spend hours on the architecture real story illusive original condensate in the video created by Visual Studio that exert a dramatic effect charming.

The installation – made of projected light and shadow are allusive and signs – is an abstraction of the first architectural work carried out in Italy by Kengo Kuma currently nearing completion at the headquarters of Casalgrande Valley, where large slabs of ceramic filtering device divides dell’allestimento like Milan, the circular space of a large roundabout. Experience building complex that has seen the company not only to choose, with vision, the master Kengo Kuma and his staff as key stakeholders, assisted by Mario Nanni di Viabizzuno for the design of light, but also involve the University, the Faculty of Architecture of Ferrara and Syracuse in the figures of teachers and Luigi Alfonso Acocella Alini, thus launching an innovative process of interaction between the production company, culture of design, research and university education.

The space-court of the State University of Milan was the ideal setting to announce the first architectural work of Kengo Kuma in Italy, a place where silent and virtual test and put into setting up the basic elements of production figure Casalgrande Valley, in a Prom exhibition held in the courtyard of the Ca ‘Granda of Filaret and the showcase at La Rinascente in Piazza Duomo.

The architectural firm Sako Architects designed Bumps, a building complex in Beijing (Peking), China. Looking at it from a distance it is impossible not to admit that reminds us so much a building made by children with Lego bricks! The complex is to target both residential and commercial will be a new point of departure for the development of the city.

The building is characterized by a play of empty and full of offsets between the planes, constant variation between two levels. A unit consists of a block and each block is offset 2 m from the block below. From that offsets were obtained terrazze.Un very interesting project that raises a whole area because the architecture is often the point of reviving a neighborhood and an architectural work of great importance throughout the surrounding context acquires a new role functional, a new living environment for citizens.

The first thing that came to mind watching the project is a great old tree from the trunk and large branches carried in the year 3000, even though my personal idea is a little crazy, we all have to admit the iconic design and avant-garde This imposing structure which also is the first between the structures of its kind to be awarded the Gold certification “in energy and environmental design green building promoted by the Council of the United States.

The convention center QNCC (Qatar National Convention Center) covers an area of 177,000 square meters and the roof is designed to contain 3,600 square well with solar panels will provide approximately 12.5% of total energy requirements of the building.

In the urban landscape of the city of Seoul on the Han River is an oasis of unspoilt wilderness, which to date have linked many activities and cultural events, entertainment and relaxation. The routine of urban life is constantly revitalized by the energy lavished by the Han River, a veritable cradle of nature in the metropolitan area. The river water contains within it an unlimited amount of energy that can transform into different forms: the ripples of its surface it is a tangible proof, when moved by the wind shows us the invisible flow of energy that underlies it.

The dynamic transformation of the energy flow in the water content is the inspiration behind the project idea of the pavilion, whose architectural image is presented as a form of fossilized organic, natural geometry thus generated by the motion of fluid dynamics, which itself becomes architecture.

The pavilion is composed of a coralliforme open, floating on the water, which is designed as a space open to the public and will host cultural programs to serve the city’s observatory with panoramic views, concerts, exhibitions, restaurant, bar, seasonal pool.

Depending on the programming floating structure moored in different parts of the river to revitalize the city, flashing at night with the help of lighting effects, as a sort of mirage in the waters of the Han River.

The project was awarded a bronze medal at the Seoul Design Olympiad 2008, in the earth, architecture and landscape. Seoul Design Olympiad is an international competition launched by the Seoul metropolitan area to gather ideas and proposals for a new urban image, at the Seoul designated World Design Capital in 2010.

Simple and functional, so I would call the installation of the study of Roman architecture 2A + P / A (Matteo and Gianfranco Bombaci Costanzo) for the cultural festival held in L’Aquila in the PD 7 to 12 September. The installation “Piazza” is a space designed for social interaction and communication between people, consisting of a circular ring broken into two parts (dual-purpose input or output) and four internal positions in two or three levels for a session .

The basic module of the installation consists of three wooden pallets stacked and tied together, which was placed on a panel covered with red carpeting, all very simple and low cost. Inside the benches placed outside groups were included with light to draw attention of visitors.

The study KOZ Architects has designed and built this recreation center for children in Paris.The peculiarity of this building is that from the outside is understandable to its intended use: the mix of bold colors clearly visible from the structure is indeed due immediately to the imagination of children.

The interior also reproduce the same color scheme, inspired by the typically childish fantasy.
