This video show how Valcucine let visitors test the glass strength. For the Fuorisalone2008 they transformed a test invented by the “controllo qualità e sicurezza” (quality and safety check office) to check the real quality of the material in a sort of game for people visit the area.
Architets, designer and curious shall look at this!
The Digital Water Pavilion is a big interactive installation made for Zaragoza Expo 2008 by MIT Media Lab’s Senseable City research group.
Last friday I went to the opening of the second edition “Borsa di studio Giannino Furlan”.This exhibition, about analysis of architectural spaces, collects the tree winners of 2008.
One of them, Fabio Santarossa, presents his project about Iannis Xenakis e Le Corbusier: one video taken in Le Tourette in Lione with Metastasis (first Xenakis’ composition for orchestra) as sound track, and a big resonance panel (you can see it from the picture) that play original music of Philips Pavillon (Bruxelles 1958). This panel make a surprising spatiality of sounds. The intention was to rebuild sound effect inside the Philips Pavillion… I cant’t say if that’s trwe, becouse I’ve never been in the original, but it’s really amzing!
