On the occasion of the exhibition “Paesaggi mirati” (“Aimed landscapes”) in the context of the 8th edition of Studi Aperti Arts Festival (Open Studios Arts Festival), 6-8 July 2012, Ameno (Novara – Italy) - www.studiaperti.it, Consalez Rossi architecture office has produced an exhibition on the topic “Diffused Museum. Across art and design” addressed to architects, artists and designers, in continuity with the previous editions.

Respira ! (Breath! Design and technology come together to enliven a historic building.

The gazebo of the gothic park of Tornelli Palace becomes a large diaphragm, which marks the rhythm of time. The breath is the pace of the osmosis between the belly of the building and the landscape.

A diaphragm made of spinnaker’s sails and two machines for air treatment (ATU) transform a building, a mid-19th century pavilion of delight, into a contemporary exhibition able to radically change the perception of place.

The porch is separated by a polystyrene wall, which splits the inner space into a technical compartment, which houses the machines, and a sealed chamber where air rhythmically inflates the sails.

A project by Consalez Rossi Associated Architects with Camilla Vecchi.
