Exhibition “Living the City” was hosted in the historic building Palazzo della Ragione in Bergamo, the oldest town hall in Italy, built at the end of XII Century on Piazza Vecchia. It was located in the central hall, Sala delle Capriate, which is 16m wide and 18m long, with no internal support structure. Apart from displaying a rich collection which would have been otherwise unseen during the restoration of the historic site, the project’s setup, conceived by architect Mario Botta, adds new geometries to the room, modifying the way spaces are used.
Curators: Franco Mancuso, Nicola Russi, Stefano Storchi, Fabrizio Toppetti, Mauro Volpiano. Setup: Laboratorio Permanente (Nicola Russi, Angelica Sylos Labini), Luca Cerinza Pettreca
Convergent Flux: Korea is an interactive exhibition on contemporary Korean architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design, first shown at the Harvard GSD in 2011. It is curated by John Hong and Jinhee Park, the principal of SsD Architecture studio which approaches design as a convergent, interdisciplinary venture that aspires to bridge the utopian and the pragmatic. Instead of separating aspects of architecture, urbanism, landscape, history, social systems, and codes into their constituent disciplines, SsD Architecture simultaneously explores these essential design ingredients so that minimum form gains maximum effect.
