Muri Evanescenti (Evanescent Walls)

The site-specific installation Muri Evanescenti (Evanescent Walls), signed by architect Michele De Lucchi and his multidisciplinary studio, AMDL CIRCLE, explores the concept of the "wall": from its role of protection and support, to its deeper and more material essence, the capacity to become light, non-uniform.

Muri Evanescenti conveys the unique design vocabulary of architect De Lucchi and AMDL CIRCLE and reinterprets the studio's most distinctive architectural textures in black-and-white mosaic. 25 motifs - each in positive and negative - give rise to a ncomposition covering walls and ceiling with small 10x10mm mosaic tiles. Dark patterns envelop the walls, fully covering the vault and gradually lightening upward in a play of solids and voids.

Six wooden models of the studio's iconic projects and two Produzione Privata © modular screens complete the installation. They vividly showcase the "permeable wall" concept, blending lights and darks, natural and artificial light, connecting the spaces and those who live them.
