Unité d’aviation

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Last year we posted about studiometrico‘s involvement in the Operation Fornebu with bkark, 6a and jcla. Long time has passed by and unfortunately we haven’t got that competition. Nevertheless we had great time, intense design sessions with fantastic people and – we believe – a very strong proposal.

Oh Shit

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Few weeks ago American artist Dan Colen presented Karma, his first solo show in Italy. The exhibition, held at Massimo De Carlo, features the installation Oh Shit, a 15m long and 5m tall wooden structure that resembles a skateboard ramp and frames the painting Moments Like This Never Last (No. 2) through its large holes.  To develop and build the daring construction Dan Colen asked advise to studiometrico and Atelier LC. See few images of the installation after the break.

MXP Competition

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

SEA – the company that runs Italian Airports – launched a 2 phases competition for the ‘new gate’ of the Airport of Malpensa. The brief, addressed to teams composed by architects and artists, defined a site between terminal and train station, a budget and some programmatic ambitions. The ‘Gate’ had to be conceived both as transit and pause space, function as infrastructure, be perceived as a landmark and behave as an exhibition space. Together with Massimo Bartolini and VudafieriSaverino we developed our (losing) proposal…

House with garden and caves – 4

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

lub-cav-pers-01-thumb

During the site works of the house with garden and caves, studiometrico was asked to think of possible ways of re-using the ruins of a small existing building that layed adjacent to the main house. The initial task was to insert a very small room for guests without completely filling the hollow volume. Some empty space should have been preserved to bring natural light into the caves below the house turning the ruins of the building into a patio. An early design proposal featured a hanging two storey prefab living unit of 2 by 4 meters. Although this seemed like a convincing solution and an exciting design challenge, a new discovery completely changed the project: another ‘secret’ room was found on the opposite side of the ‘patio’. After long negotiations the small room was purchased by the owner of the house for the given purpose…
