“3.0 – storie digitali alla radio” in onda con Rosa Topputo dello studio associato D’arc. Architettura, interior e accessori di design. Tutto all’insegna dell’innovazione. Come nella
loro Startup, Shapeupitaly. Ecco cosa ci ha raccontato….

D’Arc. Studio—Associate Architects was founded in Rome by Rosa Topputo and Alessio Tommasetti in 2007. Influenced by both art and science, it serves as a factory that is not restricted to a single discipline, but is open to the influences of architecture, design, fashion, graphics, animation, video and comics. The city of Rome itself, as well as Italian history and art, inspire the designs, which combine aesthetics and functionality. The studio’s many international collaborations are a gateway for bringing the studio closer to its goal of reaching ideal beauty. Inspired by the success of the Cambiami eyewear project, a collection of customizable sunglasses made with 3D-printing technology, they have developed a new 3D-printed jewelry collection with floral elements that are influenced by the baroque aesthetics typical of Lecce in southern Italy. This collection of jewelry represents one way to translate physical sculptures into digital ones.

From April 11-16, 2016, The Museum of Arts and Design will present LOOT: MAD About Jewelry, its annual exhibition and sale featuring designs from more than 40 emerging and acclaimed international jewelry artists. Now in its 16^th edition, LOOT has become known as the ultimate pop-up shop for contemporary artist-made jewelry, where collectors and jewelry enthusiasts have the rare opportunity to meet and acquire pieces from some of the most innovative creators in the field.

LOOT is in keeping with the long-standing commitment of the Museum of Arts and Design to present jewelry as an art form. MAD is the only American museum to possess a gallery dedicated to the display of both temporary jewelry exhibits and its own collection of contemporary and modern studio and art jewelry.

Proceeds from LOOT: MAD About Jewelry benefit the Museum’s exhibitions and education programs.

Starting from innovative startups as Makerbot, 3D printing is now an everyday reality. From Brooklyn to Manhattan you can breath “Do it yourself”(DIY) philosophy!!

Featuring compelling creations from the past decade, from sculpture and furniture to fashion and transport, this exhibition explores the many areas of 21st-century creativity made possible by advanced methods of computer-assisted production known as digital fabrication.

T/Shirt – Issue

The fashion installation consisting of 4 digitally created pieces displays a jersey sweatshirt melting into the ground. The shirt realized as a fluid motion in 3-D software using a digital figurine was exported into 4 patterns which were manually sewn and assembled.

Each polygon stands for a different facet of the persona, symbolizing the process of development, connected through personal experience. With each step, the Ego increasingly lets go of social structures.

Cercando di schizzare su un tovagliolo di carta Palazzo Farnese, sorvolando da Roma a Firenze e apprezzando la grandezza di quel tempo,che ha dato vita all’età cosiddetta “MODERNA” , perchè ora è L’uomo al centro dell’Universo, con i suoi sentimenti e con la voglia di trovare un perfetto equilibrio nello spazio in cui vive. Michelangelo ed i suoi coetanei ci hanno tramandato una delle più belle visioni dell’uomo e del suo universo.

Compagno di chiacchiere era Montgomery Taylor. Montgomery ha studiato architettura a Princeton, specializzandosi nel Rinascimento, da qui nasce la sua ricerca della bellezza anche nelle singole note di un profumo.  Il mio amico Montogomery oggi produce una delle più eleganti fragranze che io abbia mai sentito,” AMBRA di VENEZIA”. E’ egli stesso il designer della bottiglia che contiene il profumo , in vetro soffiato di Murano.

Montgomery dopo aver studiato l’italiano si trasferisce a Venezia per imparare le tecniche della lavorazione del vetro e oggi produce il  suo profumo e le artistiche bottiglie qui a New York.

Sarà stato lo studio e l’amore per  Rinascimento a portare Montgomery più vicino ad un ideale di bellezza ed eleganza?

Che dire! Siamo fortunati ad essere architetti!
