Project Description:

Il pattern si sviluppa partendo dal tema del rapporto che l’uomo ha con l’abitare. Tutto ciò che ci circonda nei nostri spazi quotidiani ha una pelle, noi stessi abbiamo una pelle; osservati da vicino si da l’avvio alla costruzione di molteplici texture, che ricordano molto il mondo naturale, a cui ogni uomo e ogni architettura è legato. Texture che viste con occhio attento e allenato si trasformano però in visioni dall’alto di città, di strade. Costruzioni di percorsi che accostati creano pattern illusori e futuristici. Partendo da un concetto, se ne creano molti altri. Non si vede solo una cosa, ma molte. Il pattern può essere moltiplicato all’infinito e creare differenti figure. E’ pensato per l’interior ma anche per gli spazi espositivi.

Project Description:

This design is one of a series of repeating geometric patterns that were created by placing interlocking circles on a square grid. The original version is a gouache painting on paper of around 20cm x20cm and was created as an art piece, before I saw the possibilities in architectural design. The applications of the image as a tile or slab surface are many and varied and will suit both interior and outdoor settings. The scale and colours can be adapted as appropriate.

Project Description:

Digital Marble is the outcome of a research conducted in order to explore the possibility of combining advanced design strategies with high-resolution printing techniques. The main goal was to obtain an endless pattern to be adapted according to different design intents and boundary conditions, such as large and small spaces, plane or curved surfaces, presence of obstacles. Further, to preserve the continuity of the pattern without the risk of being trapped in the monotony of a repetitive image, our attention has been focused on algorithmic strategies that allowed us to develop a continuous pseudo-random decoration. To pursue the above mentioned goals an agent-based algorithm has been set to impress the slabs with the concepts of dynamicity and lightness that distinguish contemporary design. The result is a unique boundless data-driven image that can be subdivided into smaller pieces according to tile’s dimension. This innovative approach permits, during the printing stage, to work on two different layers: the trails, retrieved by the design process, and the background. Our proposal uses colors and hues to recall the veinings and unevenness of a refined stone as the marble that perfectly fits with the necessity of decorating an interior space with elegance without resulting in an old-fashioned style. Nevertheless it is possible to opt for clearer colors’ combinations, such as using two colors only, for a more modern result. The presented motif can be applied to different building components and can fulfill different tasks. For example it can be used as building envelope to create a homogeneous image among different blocks or, it can be applied on walls or pavements for public spaces even to implicitly guide people towards specific directions. Finally, it could be also used as a continuous pattern for both vertical and horizontal element in interior public spaces such as stores or restaurants to generate a non-conventional space perception.

Project Description:

Forests and trees have stimulated the human imagination since the beginning of time. They have inspired works of literature, art and architecture. They are a wonder of nature and people have been intimately connected to them through the Ages. The proposed design is an abstract geometric interpretation of a tree with its branches and leaves. The overall is a composition based on a single curve that spans between the diagonal corners of the rectangular plate. A highly stylized pattern extracts the harmony and natural beauty of particular forest scenery that I remember from my childhood. The pattern contains three print layers - filigree lace, rhombus shadows and leaf shapes. Despite the simplicity of the overall gesture, the generated pattern entails a high level of complexity: around 1.200 leaves that are unique and no two are alike, and more than 14.000 lines create the filigree lace. A fluid flow of leaf shapes was generated by using novel digital design tools. The complex configuration of the elements and the detail that is present in the pattern relates to artisan craft. It refers to old techniques, as Pietra dura or traditional lace making and embroideries, but it is achieved by using contemporary means and design tools. In order to create more possibilities and variations of arrangement of the large panels, I propose a second panel that is a mirror version of the original one.
