NUS Installation

Designed and fabricated in 2012, the NU:S installation was a proving ground for parametric design applied to art installation. An expressive sculpture exhibited at Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, showing a combination of mathematical references (golden ratio and Fibonacci spiral), advanced design features and precise digital manufacturing (CNC waterjet cutting). The installation was part of the event “NU:S, Fashion clothes Architecture'', aiming to explore the cross-fertilization within different artistic fields and fascination for technology, computational design, and Renaissance philosophy. The event saw the contribution of young and talented members of Made in Italy: the architects Arturo Tedeschi (computational designer and author of the bestselling book "Parametric Architecture with Grasshopper”) and Maurizio Degni, the fashion designers Flavia Migani, Simone Bruno, Chiara Cola and Alessio Spinelli (shoe designer winner of the 2011 Vogue Who’s On Next). The creative direction was led by Antonella Buono. The result is a harmonious work that merges the individual disciplines while respecting their identities creating an innovative expressive manifesto.
