“A
skyscraper which could become a vase”
Ephemeral Design of Marco Piva (Studio Marco Piva)
in
the Nevskaya Courtine of the St. Peter and Paul Fortress
with
the collaboration of PRO ARTE Foundation for Culture and Arts
Marco
Piva visits Saint Petersburg Design Week for the third time. This
time he discussed studio's philosophy and the next items of it's master
planning, architectural renovation, interior and landscape design,
lighting and window concept design:
1.
The
master plan of the City of Beijing at the bank of Yellow River in
China
It's
glass and metallic cityscape separated from natural green elements of
environment (although it was conceived not to be separated) vaguely
and strangely reminds of the Italian landscapes.
An
interesting fact: Studio Marco Piva was challenged to create the
project which would allow to build 7 floors of a skyscraper per day.
2.
The
private villa at Como Lake in Italy
A
building enters a garden that penetrates the building. It slightly
resembles the dream of Alice in “Through the Looking-Glass”. The
photos of the project were quoted by more than 200 magazines around
the world.
3.
The
design of showcases for Bulgari
The
authors were inspired by the purity of lines of the vicious and elongated
images of Jeanne Hebuterne on the masterpieces of Amedeo Modigliani
(Modigliani or Modigliani and Hebuterne?). The firm developed the
design of the family of white and black metallic ceramic forms and
lamps that became the perfect medium for jewellery and accessories
and the cold anthropomorphous lonely models with almost alive almost
warm luminescent skin since point of view of spectators floating
through the cold or sultry dusk of so many cities of the Earth.
The
mysterious decorated by jewellery vessels with their appearance of
objects crafted manually. Almost like a woman.
4.
The
project of the Bulgari Pavilion 2013 at Basel in Switzerland at the
Watch and Jewellery Show (April 25th - May 2nd)
The
studio discussed philosophically and visually the idea of so
perceptible and indescribable, so important and so transient time.
The supporting planes inside every decorative column of the building
were separated and the windows with watches were placed inside.
At
least at the current stage of the evolution of mankind the importance
of architecture for time in the long term is proved even more than
the importance of time for architecture in the long term.
5.
The
unusual for design (and habitual for renovation) direction of the
development of an idea. From photography, primary object, to
sculpture, new primary object
The
sculpture of the blue beautifully folded decorated by rings hands for
Milan Design Week was based on the vintage Bulgari's advertising
photo of Fabrizio Ferri and was created for the celebration of 14th anniversary of iconic
B.zero1 design and the art installation in the ancient private
gardens of Bulgari Hotel Milan.
“And all the same a woman became a vase in 21th century, but it is closed.”
