Atipografia Threshold and Treasure Gallery / AMAA - Collaborative Office For Research And Development

Andreas Luco — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

'Threshold and Treasure' questions the role of threshold and treasure in art, architecture, and, more specifically, galleries as places of display. It is precisely in the space of the threshold that the meaning of the entire project unfolds: thus, the entrance becomes both work of art and an urban system.

Caffè Nazionale / AMAA - Collaborative Office For Research And Development

The Caffè Nazionale, designed by AMAA, embraces the city: the restoration of this historic venue in Arzignano, Northern Italy, is a multifaceted project that draws upon existing elements and memories to create a vibrant, living palimpsest. AMAA designed the Caffè Nazionale by establishing a direct relationship with the city of Arzignano, Italy, and its public spaces. The historical traces, with which the project engages in a deeply creative dialogue, generate a layered depth that AMAA has emphasized through a series of spatial elements acting as theatrical backdrops. The studio, founded by Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra Rampazzo, envisioned an intense, collaborative intervention, with artist partnerships culminating in an open and multifaceted creation.

L’architettura non è spazio, […] l’architettura è un gesto del pensiero. Livio Vacchini in “Capolavori” I prefer something like the cave-like-unintentional space. something that is in between nature and artifact — formless form. Sou Fujimoto, “Essays on architecture and ceramics — vol 4”

Pleonastic is Fantastic Restoration / AMAA - Collaborative Office For Research And Development

The tension between old and new find its realization in the pleonastic stairway – object hanging in the balance within the space. What is pleonastic is not strictly necessary. The stairway wasn’t necessary in the first place; neither was the strut supporting the stairway. The invention that the stairway brings about is its independence from the slab and the walls. The self-supporting stairway does not touch the beauty and the fragility of the wooden slab and the load-bearing walls. That’s how the stairway from being pleonastic becomes fantastic.

Architecture is the result of a complex phase, such as the project. It is not a unique and linear process but it is based on the continuous review of multiple options available always keeping a critical attitude. This is a peculiar practice manner based on the primary role of the IDEA in the process. The act of DOING is also fundamental and researches a balance between the three steps of working on architecture: theory, order and the final outcome. Each one keeps the essence of the original idea and gradually becomes more precise and developed until the project reaches the realization. Theory is a synthesis in the making of the background made of models, references, words and other contributions coming from other disciplines, all weaved together.
