PROJECT

Name: : Gold Medal for Italian architecture

Location: Milano, Italy

Year: 2009

Typology: : Set up

Area: SL: 600 sqm

Cliente: La triennale di Milano

Designed on the occasion of the Gold Medal for Architecture awarded to Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas in 2009, the exhibition conceived for La Triennale di Milano appears as a superimposed set of thoughts and images.

A single three-dimensional element, taken as a cell, multiplies on different scales in space to build an “immense” lattice and aerial structure.

The exhibition is a support to visualise thoughts that flow like a mental archive of built projects. It aims to be a complex spatial system made up of simple multiplied elements. The porosity of the structure expands, fills the void and presents itself as the materialisation of a spatial matrix.

The display of the projects is preceded by a decompression room dedicated to a collection of images of the Italian landscape: a prologue that announces the transformations that architecture performs on the territory.

The space is marked by a subtle network of lines, a digital matrix that takes shape where necessary, condensing around images. The supports for images and models are the structure of the visible void, making it possible to restore their evocative state and immateriality to the images.
