Cave: Ilaria Marelli
Architetto e designer italiano, Ilaria Marelli ha creato questa installazione per Pitti Uomo a Firenze.
L’installazione è stata progettata per trasportare il visitatore nel mondo Pitti Uomo come se stesse esplorando una caverna sotterranea.
Gli scuri spazi interni sono penetrati da oggetti trasparenti illuminati dal soffitto, mentre gli arredi, metallici e simil-oro, hanno come significato rappresentativo i minerali e le pietre preziosa che si trovano sotto terra.
Padiglione Polacco per Expo2010 Shangai
Un piccolo accenno a questo progetto che utilizza patterns floreali (in entrambe le versioni proposte) per il Padiglione Polacco di Orchard Road, Singapore per l’expo2010.
Le proposte di progetto sono firmate dallo studio di architettura basato a Singapore U:phoria.
La struttura sarà costruita usando acciaio leggero e rivestita in pannelli acrilici stampati con pattern.

“Prize winning entry for a pavilion in the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore.
The concept is to create a structure that is light and elegant looking. It will be a place for quiet resting and dining, while evoking a sense of peace & tranquillity as an antithesis to the urban flurry that surrounds it.
This pavilion will exemplify the use of lightweight steel framing to create a structure that appears to defy its own weight, and seemingly looks as if it is floating above the ground. It is an urban manifestation of the ephemeral quality of the city life.
Steel Design StrategyThe strategy is to utilise a simple component: an l-shaped lightweight galvanised steel section. This steel section will be placed in consecutive additions and in pairs, in perpendicular directions at each end of the section, thereby causing a curved nature of the form created, without physically bending the steel members.
Through the additions, the steel sections will form a lightweight roof frame that itself acts as a structural component. The frame itself will encompass both the wall and the roof as structure, therefore eliminating the need for columns. A series of similarly placed vertical steel bars will form the entrance screen and also support for the cantilever of the steel frame.”
