13 June 2018 > 11 November 2018
AM3 Architetti Associati was founded in 2011 by the architects Marco Alesi, Cristina Cali, and Alberto Cusumano. The Firm operates in Palermo and works on projects both in the private and in the public sphere, expanding the theme of urban redevelopment through the design and construction of elements set in high-value historical, archaeological, and landscape contexts. In 2015 they received an honorable mention at the prize giving for ’Young Talent of Italian Architecture’. In 2016 the Firm is one of the twenty studios selected for the Italian Pavilion of the 15th Architecture Venice Biennale. They will be members of the collective for experimental projects at Italian Pavilion of the 16th Architecture Venice Biennale.
The studio is founded in 2015 in Zagreb, Croatia by Marja Mia Kolendić and Anita Krmek after working in various fields of architecture for some years. Work in the studio is devoted to architecture as well as interior and product design.
Studio for Design, Research and Reflexive Realities is an architectural office and develops a wide range of projects from architectural designs, small scale to big scale objects, urban designs, landscape structures to exhibition designs.
SUMMARY is an architectural studio based in the Science and Technology Park of University of Porto, Portugal. Seeking the balance between pragmatism and experimentalism, SUMMARY develops building systems assuming the optimization of time and physical resources as the core theme of its practice. In 2016, SUMMARY was selected to present the work “INFRASTRUCTURE-STRUCTURE-ARCHITECTURE” at the main exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Recently the studio was distinguished with the Red Dot Award for the “habitat” category and the 40 under 40 European Design Award.
Tomé Capa works in two main areas: architecture (as founding member in Limit Studio) and art. His work focuses on the creation of installations of an artistic and architectural character. Limit Studio is an architectural studio that presents itself as irreverent, creative and rigorous, always seeking the limit in solving problems of a spatial and constructive nature. For this challenge, Tomé Capa and Limit Studio worked as partners but at the same time as two different entities.
The closing of the installation has been extended to 11 November 2018
It’s time for the summer appointment with YAP – Young Architects Program, the programme promoting and supporting young architecture, now in its 7th Italian edition and organized by MAXXI in partnership with MoMA.
For this edition, MAXXI has chosen to expand its horizons beyond the national borders by linking YAP to the pan-European project FAP Future Architecture Platform, the platform that brings together 18 institutions operating in the field of architecture in Europe and also dedicated to promoting young talents.
Green Gallery by STUDIOD3R with Marcello Fantuz is the ecological, eco-sustainable project attentive to biodiversity and in contrast with global warming chosen as this year’s winner.
THE WINNING PROJECT
The project has been chosen by an international jury composed of Hou Hanru, Artistic Director, MAXXI, Margherita Guccione, Director, MAXXI Architettura, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Director, MAXXI Arte, Pippo Ciorra, Senior Curator, MAXXI Architettura, Sean Anderson, Associate Curator of Architecture and Design, MoMA, Carmen Andriani, Lecturer, University of Genoa, Paola Nicolin, Deputy Editor, Domus, Jeanette Plaut, Director, Constructo – Chile, Kim Hyoungmi, Curatore of Architecture, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – Korea, for “its capacity for dialogue with the strongly volumetric, concrete and dynamic MAXXI architecture, which it contrasts with a structure focusing on lightness, geometric minimalism and the utmost presence of nature”.
THE EXHIBITION (through to 16 September)
Along with the installation in the piazza, the Carlo Scarpa Hall will host an exhibition presenting the 2018 edition through the models of the projects short-listed for the Italian edition. Alongside these will be an account of the entire Young Architects Program through images of the winning and short-listed projects at MoMA/MoMA PS1 and Constructo.
