The idea of the Quattro Punti per una Torre installation, designed by Massimo Iosa Ghini for FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti, is to use the primordial monolith, the whole massive block of stone material. In collaboration with Iguzzini, Tecnovision, and Faraonea, the project at the University of Milan represents produced architecture and sculptures from time immemorial, repeated through the use of the large-sized ceramic slab with a finish that draws inspiration from the quarry stone. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The installation is a bond between legacy and modernity, tradition and innovation, an exploration of the theme “contintuity with the experience of the past”, both as regards technology and development of materials and their production and application. It’s a stem-like tower with a structure faced with large ceramic slabs (300×150), laser- cut and finished.
