"Vicino, Più Vicino"
2013 Lisbon Architecture Triennale - Associate Project
Florence, Italy & Lisbon, Portugal, 2013
Two temporary pavilions in two distant cities, dialogue in real-time by the presence of the visitors.
The movement of people inside each pavilion activates lights and sounds in the twin structure, so that visitors can feel the presence of their reciprocals and viceversa, triggering a body-activated dialogue.
The two cities in this way will be virtually connected; distant users, visiting the temporary structures spatially distant, will have the feeling of being temporarily neighbors.
As lovers, who have always looked at the same moon, to not perceive the mutual absence, the communicating boxes allow visitors to interact with the space, to become protagonists and to modify the project itself through their bodies.
The project took place simultaneoulsy in the two cities from October 27 to November 3, 2013.
