AP207.S1.1987.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "Paesaggi Della Memoria", an installation presented at the Castello Aragonese, in Otranto in 1987. The installation consists of a small mound of sand on which is placed a plastic open suitcase and plastic cuttings that represent the mountains from Pettena's childhood landscape. This work by Pettena is a "metaphor for any possible personal interpretation of the universal theme of the landscape, bestow on it an artistic significance, the charge carried by the values of poetry, of the memory of a space and a time that here also acquire, thanks to the context, the “Mediterranean” dimension, reinforced by the presence of sand and the essential character of the setting." [1] The project series contains sketches and installation photographs and videos.

Description:
The project series documents the installation "Human Wall", designed by Pettena for the Galleria Enrico Fornello in Milan in 2012. The installation consists of a wall made of handmade balls of clay on which the handprints from making the clay balls intentionally remain. "The physicality and action of constructing is also accentuated here by the use of a natural material, clay, whose malleability and lack of homogeneity in themselves generate architecture, an architecture that can however be directed toward a mental use of space." [1] Another edition of this installation was presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2012. The project series contains drawings showing the construction of the installation and photographs of the installation.

Description:
Original directory name: "23_Bemusterung". File contains documentation, lists, plans and photographs that appear to have been gathered to inform design choices for the BMW Welt building. It includes maps, floors, suspended ceilings, restaurants, walls, perforated sheets, door handles, exposed concrete surfaces, show halls, etc. Photographs show lighting devices, floorings, building claddings, among other elements. Plans present either very specific areas of the BMW Welt building, with technical details, or offer a complete view of a floor or an area of the building, which are also very detailed. The few textual records in the file reflect planning for material selection, for example, presentations on potential lighting devices. Most common file formats: JPEG File Interchange Format, Acrobat PDF 1.4 - Portable Document Format, Acrobat PDF 1.3 - Portable Document Format, Exchangeable Image File Format (Compressed), Adobe Illustrator
