italian studios, 2A+P/A and salottobuono have completed 'riti planetari',
an architectural installation at rome's reload gallery.
curated by emilia giorgi, the exhibition creates a radical atmosphere of
layered and structural forms.

located within the tunnel of a former automobile garage, the installation
represents at a reduced scale, the values, signs and guidelines of the
collaborators approach to architecture.





a sequence of open portals divides the space, creating a slowly unraveling
sequence that renders the visiting public as the true protagonists and integral
part of the personal and collective experience.





from the designers,

'riti planetari is a kaleidoscopic urban narrative. using a series of geometric
grids, it re-evokes the images of monumental buildings and parasitic works of
architecture, millenary spaces and temporary structures that offer themselves
as stage sets for unknown rituals and ceremonies.'

established as a reaction to the lack of public spaces in cities, the installation aims
to demonstrate how dialogue and discussion can transform entire portions of urban
environments that lack public spaces for the communities that inhabit them.
