I think this branding thing is out of control to the point where any hint of curvature is called Gehryesque or if a tilted parallelpiped shows up it’s Libeskind (actually the tilted parallelpiped is from Hadid who has moved on but it was co-opted by Libeskind as a quick way to brand himself when he wanted to become famous as quickly as possible and thus, avoid doing any work or learn how to be an architect leading to his kitschy crap) Also, any minimalism with bare concrete is Ando-like, etc. This design appears to be conceptually based and now is in design development with the hope of making a gorgeous experience in the Italian tradition. My only criticism is the concept appears to be influenced in zeitgeist way by the beautiful birds nest stadium but that’s natural. Perhaps if the audience is always for ‘one’ as they say, Iodice’s designed this to impress Weiwei?

totally agree with Terry Glenn Phipps
this is nothing more than a warehouse
Italian architects need to be more competitive, up to date, less banal and boring.

The material used is translucent blocks, and this is a wonderful use of the blocks…

Yes they do exist………..

the explanation provided would justify any other country at the expo in my opinion. what country with significantly longer history has no small streets leading into squares??? the building is beautiful but the justification seems added on..

also: translucent concrete is every bit as strong as regular concrete.

I like the simplicity and, though the design may not be explicitly related to Italian culture, it is symbolic of street layouts and perhaps something I’m missing. More than that, it represents Italy as the design forward country that it has been since the Renaissance.

there is no print on the facade.

google translucent concrete and find some images to look at.

translucent concrete is actually nothing more than concrete with small holes (about 1/8 in diameter) through the thickness of it.

the result is concrete that allows someone on one side of the wall to see light from a source on the other side.
if someone were to stand in front of that light source, the result is a bit creepy but also spectacular.

their shadow is cast on the wall (hence the ‘prints’ you see) but where you the viewer stands, hardly any light reaches you anyway and nothing changes.

simple ideas are often the best ones.
