XX TRIENNALE

This project was created for the exhibition of the "XXI triennale di Milano: architecture as art". The brief required the redesign of the installation by the landscape architect Michel Desvigne at the Hangar Museum in Milan. I had to follow the architectural features that distinguish his works: the grid, the creation of different vegetative layers and the importance of time and mobility. The new installation is characterized by a vegetative element close to the Italian culture: the vine. The idea incorporates a life cycle of the structure even after its dismantling from the Hangar. The structure extends both into the internal space creating an entrance corridor, and, passing through the firedoor, to the outside, dilating and rarefying in all directions. In this way, the plants will not grow inside the pavilion, but only outside, changing according to the seasons and thus giving different configurations to the architecture. All the elements of the structure are made of a single material: copper without any surface protection treatment. It will deteriorate outside according to the weather conditions and will instead remain intact inside the Hangar.
