Day 11 Saturday, 23 August 2014. We woke up with one common freeze frame in our heads. The installation’s room looks exactly the same as the first day we got into it: a space with chairs and desks. The grapes have been eaten, the floor plan is rolled into one package to be taken to […]
Day 10 Friday, 22 August 2014. It is 14:30 and our installation looks like a functional clock of a complex system. Underneath is laid the floor Plan of Villa da Rotonda that expands in a three-dimensional form of an urban planning. The first thing to be seen approaching from the entrance is the Stair which […]
Day 9 Thursday, 21 August 2014. Today we really went through a lot of tasks in order to achieve our goal. I am attaching Stig’s, Mads’, Mia’s and Sigurd’s notes for the presentation day: That is today, tomorrow we could probably allow to think that “We have been working with habits of people” influencing the […]
Day 8 Wednesday, 20 August 2014. Preparing – Focusing – Designing. In the under pressure situation of the work in this stage, I use the old trick that I have invented as a kid; that of imagining me being an animal, or better said, to have the luxury of metamorphosis. In this effect I can […]
Day 7 Tuesday, 19 August 2014. The feeling of entering in our space at the Biennale can be described as this marvelous joy of “a summer morning when, with pleasure, and joy, we come into harbors seen for the first time;” I am quoting a poet. We are almost 50 people working on this project, […]
Day 6 Monday, 18 August 2014. Arriving at Venice. Acupuncturists say that mosquitos bite in certain areas where our energy is not balanced. In that point of view, we owe them a favor. In this magical city, it seems that even the insects reserve this summer to keep us alert. Our first meeting point here […]
Day 5 Sunday, 17 August 2014. The last evening in Vicenza we met for our daily presentation of each team’s progress at Parco Querini. In this way we closed the “Vicenza circle”: (from the stairs, to the rooftop and then) at the park’s wide open space. Immersed by our own project, we were this time […]
Day 4 Saturday, 16. August 2014. Being a part of a symphonic orchestra demands a lot of skills. Firstly the ability of working in team; to partly stay in silence, to enter into the stream the right moment to work hard for your own good but mostly as a respect to the […]
Day 3 Friday, 15 August 2014. the well-tempered day: It was 6 in the afternoon and we all sat at the stairs of Museo civico Pallazo Chiericati using it as an amphitheater for the day presentation of the 8 groups. A little over-heated, a little bit tired, a little bit anxious, each […]
Day 2 Thursday, 14 August 2014. They say that the strongest muscle of the body is the one we are sitting on. Sitting on a chair is an un-natural position where the body has to balance in awkward ways. For centuries it has been a challenge for designers to create a really good ergonomic […]
