Description:
The project series documents the installation "Brano di Città" presented at the Galleria Enrico Fornello, in Prato, in 2009. The installation consists of covering the walls and the floor of an entire gallery space with branches and dry leaves. "The material is predominant here, and “becomes” architecture. It is a piece of city, or a ghost of it, where nature turns into architecture, or a work of architecture structures itself, describes itself with natural materials." [1] The project series contains drawings and photographs of the installation.

Description:
The project series documents the installation "Forgiving Architecture" presented at the ReMap2, Athens Biennal, in 2009. The installation consists of strips of paper vertically hung across the facades of the building to be moved by the breeze. "The air of Athens, its constant breezes, suggest the extent to which nature can “forgive,” can find a poetic communication, like the foliage of a forest in the wind. Nothing can be lighter and more mobile than static architecture!" [1] The project series contains sketches, perspective drawings, visual instructions, and photographs of the installation, including digital photographs of the installation in Athens in 2009.
