We have been invited to participate at the third interpretation of Triennale Design Museum, curated by Alessandro Mendini and Silvana Annicchiarico, that have made a selection of young designers and architects who had to reflect about the theme of living and of a designing utopia, creating the new edition called “Quali cose siamo”. The brief we have been given, together with other participants, was to create a series of towers, with the restrictions that consisted in the same square plant and the same height. This system of towers, characterized by the multiple language concerning the signs, materials, cultures and objects, thought as a totemic symbol and spirit of the city, where the facades and the volumes will express, with their different languages, the aesthetical and ethical tensions of its inhabitants, their poetry and responsibility.
If the museum’s question is “What things are we”, the towers’ question is “what are the places we live in”.
Other participants invited are: Antonio Cos, Matteo Bazzicalupo, Lorenzo Damiani, Esterni, Diego Grandi, Giulio Iacchetti, Interaction Design Lab, Alessandro Loschiavo, Raffaella Mangiarotti, Miriam Mirri, Nucleo, Lorenzo Palmeri, Daniele Papuli, Gabriele Pezzini, Matteo Ragni, Temp, Marco Zito.
