[ecosistema urbano] has been invited to the Biennale. We are participating with two installations entitled “TEN THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THE CITY”.
The first one is at the Italian Pavilion, it consists of a mural in which we show these 10 principles associated to different projects and actions of [ecosistema urbano]. We have used anaglyph techniques to allow the public to expirience the installation in different ways.
The second one is an audio installation. In it we mix sounds from the city with our own voices, discusing these ten concepts. It makes part of the Novissimo events. continue reading

Volume is an independent quarterly magazine that sets the agenda for design. With going beyond architecture’s definition of ‘making buildings’ it reaches out for global views on designing environments, advocates broader attitudes to social structures, and reclaims the cultural and political significance of architecture. Created as a global idea platform to voice architecture any way, anywhere, anytime, it represents the expansion of architectural territories and the new mandate for design. continue reading
