The Project as a research tool
In Venice, in conjunction with the opening of the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale, Marco Piva inaugurates his own exhibition “Designing The Complexity – Materials Colors Textures”, focused on the aesthetic and functional research behind the contemporary design planning.
OKITE®, leading brand in the minerals surfaces market, presents a new generation of stones created to offer elegant, multifunctional solutions for interior decorations.
With its formal purity, highly functional qualities and a mix of natural and high-tech features, OKITE® represents a perfect interior decoration solution to enhance any environment with its striking contemporary style.
It’s ideal for hotels, restaurants, luxury homes, boutiques and offices and any other residential or commercial space to be enhanced with a distinctive identity and a cutting-edge look
The location is the “Scuola Grande della Misericordia”, a building attributed to Sansovino, an Italian sculptor and architect of 1500, just reopened after the renovation works by “Gruppo Umana”.
The exhibition is displayed at the ground floor, which is divided into three naves by twin columns, while upstairs, in the great hall, it’s possible to see frescoes painted by Paolo Veronese‘s school.
The exhibition starts from the theme of architecture, which is presented “in action”, through 6 videos that illustrate the design’s activities of Studio Marco Piva, each one focusing on individual aspects necessary for the realization of an architectural or design work.
The aim is to narrate the design process: from the concept phase to the development, through the selection of materials, technical design and construction phases, until the completion.
An indispensable research path in today’s design, that reveals the soul that lies within each work.
