Ticket to the Fair – Rho Fiera (Milan)

domenico — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:11:06 +0000

From horse shows to art fairs, from accountant conventions to religious cult ceremonies, the convention center is built to be ready for anything. But this anonymity can be alienating to say the least. In the Fiera Milano, architect Massimiliano Fuksas has tried to do something different, to match the needs of a convention center and its multiple uses but also to lessen the sense of alienation one feels from such non-spaces. Mission by Stefano Pedaci

Supersize Me! – Minitalia (Capriate(BG))

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:29:31 +0000

Built in the 70s as tourist trap for the families of factory workers that couldn't afford to travel for real around Italy, Minitalia has become a classic day-trip destination for generations of school kids and families. Consisting of vintage handmade reproductions of Italian monuments and cities in a 1:50 scale, the park represents a rupture from class-based “edutainment” into the truly weird. Mission by Cosimo Pichierri, Marco Trinca Colonel

Typed out – Olivetti in Turin

domenico — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:15:44 +0000

Our Check-in Point was just a few steps away, so we couldn't miss the exhibition celebrating a hundred years from the founding of the Olivetti company, and its relationship with the city of Ivrea. In case you don't know, we also wrote a mission about it. Check out the video we made, there are a couple interviews that might inspire you to apply for it. In the end, there's something strange and moving about the rise and fall of the Olivetti dream, maybe it was always doomed to failure, but one couldn't help but wish it might have worked.
