MATERIAL ENCOUNTERS CREATIVITY
FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti, as main sponsor of the World Congress of Architecture, will be present at the event at the end of June with an exhibition and workshop run by Luca Molinari where “material” and “creativity” meet and exchange views on the future of contemporary architecture.
FMGXTREME EXHIBITION (Lingotto, outdoor area Hall 3) curated by Luca Molinari.
LOT-EK (New York), Italo Rota (Milan) and Cibic Workshop (Vicenza), three of the most innovative firms in the international avant-garde, present futuristic ecosustainable micro-environments where the fine, ecosustainable materials of FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti play a central role in extreme interpretations of contemporary architecture’s most radical, groundbreaking ideas.
Cibic Workshop (Vicenza): "Armadillo", a tunnel built with the fine FMG materials, an installation with striking visual impact, which has already impressed at the 2008 Fuori Salone.
LOT-EK (New York): the environment presented is a compact body, a monolith with a canyon running through it, penetrating into the heart of the material.
Italo Rota (Milan): material returns to its origins. Marble and granite elements created by FMG acquire new life in the “mineral” walls and the central space which takes a primordial look at the future.
“MATERIAL ENCOUNTERS CREATIVITY” WORKSHOP (Lingotto, Sala Madrid, 30th June, 17.00 hrs).
The FMGxtreme projects reflect on the future of architecture by providing the concrete interpretation of a unique, active relationship between the world of design and the world of production. A genuine encounter between “material” and “creativity”, which can and must offer food for thought. FMG and Luca Molinari give this encounter the attention it deserves on 30th June in the context of the XXIII UIA World Congress: here, LOT-EK, Italo Rota, Edge Design Institute and Cibic Workshop discuss the topic together with other architecture firms and clients who have undertaken major projects with FMG: STUDIO DESIGN INTERNATIONAL (London) for the design of a shopping centre at Mondovì (Cuneo, Italy); WILSON & ASSOCIATES (Singapore) for the design of a spa in Macau, China; MAGNUS STAAHL (Stockholm) for the design of a residential unit in Stockholm; STUDIO PAPIRI (Rome) for the design of a wellness centre in Rome; and DIR. TECHNICAL GRUPPO S. DONATO for the designs for several clinics in Milan.
