‘sixtytons’ by giuseppe amato all images courtesy of giuseppe amato
italian designer and furniture maker giuseppe amato will be presenting the second installation of his ‘unexpected homes’ series at the detour / mapping contemporary venice exhibition. curated by raffaella guidobono in partnership with moleskine, the event is conceived as an accompanying show to the 12th international architecture biennale in venice this year. the architects and artists involved have been asked to draw a conceptual landscape of the future venice by finding, interpreting and portraying the signs of contemporaneity which are already present today.
‘sixtytons’ is an exercise in pragmatic architecture: the wooden shelter is designed to react to the changing needs of light, acoustic, private space and public space while respecting the functionality and dimension of the dwelling. resembling a watchtower or an outpost, the oak model circumscribes a perfect square with a solid, massive body wrapped in a skin of venetian blinds. for the design of the joints, techniques found in the katsura imperial villa were studied and reinterpreted.

See your design makes me think of my country traditional house design.
some traditional houses in Indonesia such as the Toraja, joglo, and the home of indigenous minang using the same concept. namely the existence of the lattice to reduce the amount of incoming light and air penghawaan.
If I may give advice, try to learn the culture in my country Indonesia, especially about the architecture.
Thank you, sorry if there was an error word.
my english is not good.
Attractive! I <3 archimodels. Especially well constructed, thought-invested ones.
