The Architecture and Vision projects “MoonBaseTwo” and “MoonVille” are part of the ‘LIVING – Frontiers of Architecture III and IV’ exhibition in the prestigious Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark.
The Louisiana’s exhibition series Frontiers of Architecture I-IV, which the museum has been showing in the years 2007-2011, uses architecture’s deployment of other disciplines to illustrate the new movements and paths that are shifting the frontiers of architecture. With its overall theme LIVING, the last exhibition in the series, combining nos. III and IV and filling half the total exhibition space of the museum, turns the spotlight on the question “How does the Good Life look today?”

Architecture and Vision completes the assembly of the sculpture ‘LaFenice’ under the interested eyes of Messina citizens. The stainless steel sculpture has been installed on Piazza della Memoria. Although still wrapped in protective material, the spirit of the sculpture reflecting the passing lights of the site in its geometrical shape can already be sensed, activating the formerly empty space.

At night the interactive illumination system adds a further modern metropolitan element to the square, attracting people.

The structure rises over four metres above the ground.

‘LaFenice’ will be officially inaugurated in near future. Date to be announced here.

Time: March 28 – 29, 2011
Location: Piazza della Memoria, Messina

Arturo Vittori will be part of the keynote speakers at the ‘Arduino Day’ in Rome. Arduino Day is a day dedicated to promote to teachers, researchers, artists and students the Arduino platform. ‘Arduino Day’ will be the first day dedicated to the open source platform, made in Italy that is revolutionising the world of electronics. The aim of the event is therefore to promote the project, developed in Italy, showing the possibilities and potential. The initiative, organized by the association for science DiScienza was created with the aim of catalyzing the growing interest in the Arduino project, and direct it in a single day where you can learn about the different realities that use the platform approach and some applications.
