Mosaic: small tiles go large

Text by Alyn Griffith

Around for thousands of years, mosaic ceramic tiles are experiencing an architectural renaissance internationally thanks to a rethinking of their functional and aesthetic potential.

Mosaic has been used for millennia to lend aesthetic value to important monuments and edifices, typically with intricate scenes composed of hundreds or thousands of tiny tiles. From the temples of Ancient Greece and Rome, to the expressive multi-coloured walls of Antoni Gaudí’s Park Güell in Barcelona, the application of mosaic surfaces helps to elevate the status of these structures. 

Contemporary architects are exploring both the functional and decorative potential of mosaic, applying it to entire facades or as a detail that evokes traditional craftsmanship. In an era when the architectural landscape is dominated by buildings erected quickly and cheaply using mass-manufactured materials, mosaic offers an alternative that clearly expresses the care and skill involved in its creation...

Cersaie to host ‘Lesson in Reverse’ with eclectic artist Massimo Giacon

 

Massimo Giacon

Following the meetings with great masters of design such as Enzo Mari, Alessandro Mendini and Riccardo Dalisi, this year’s Lesson in Reverse at Cersaie will be given by a highly eclectic figure. The meeting will be led by Massimo Giacon, a multidisciplinary artist who works in fields ranging from design to comic strips, art and music and is considered one of the fathers of modern Italian comics. His work as a designer has seen him involved in projects for Memphis, Swatch, Olivetti, Philips, Artemide, Telecom, Ritzenhoff and Alessi.

Massimo Giacon was born in Padua in 1961 and made his comic strip debut in 1981. He began working as a designer in 1985 and partnered with the practices of Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Sieger Design and Matteo Thun. Together with Piermario Ciani and Vittore Baroni, in 1981 he founded Trax, an open project that involved more than 500 artists and musicians from various countries in the production of records, cassettes, audio magazines, prints, comics, T-shirts and performances. Trax was the precursor of the Luther Blissett project, a collective pseudonym used by an unspecified number of performers, artists, underground magazines, virtual communities and squatters’ collectives in the 1990s, which in turn gave rise to the Wu Ming literary collective in Bologna.

The event is to be held in the Europauditorium on Friday 2 October. The lesson in reverse will be introduced by Fulvio Irace, architecture historian and lecturer at Milan Polytechnic.

Glenn Murcutt to give Keynote Lecture at Cersaie 2015

Glenn Murcutt

Born in London in 1936, Glenn Murcutt uses simple materials to create environmentally friendly buildings that fit in with the climate and the landscape, referring to this kind of architecture as 'ecological functionalism'. He studied architecture at Sydney Technical College (now University of New South Wales), then in 1969 began working as a sole practitioner. Since then, he has created a large body of work consisting of sustainable, eco-friendly buildings. He has also enjoyed a successful international academic career.

He is also an honorary member of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland and of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Since 2010 he has been a member of the International Jury of the Pritzker Prize for architecture.

Along with numerous private homes throughout Australia, Murcutt’s major achievements include the Museum of Local History and Tourist Office in Kempsey, the Bowali Visitor Information Centre in the Kakadu National Park and the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Art Centre in Riversdale, all in Australia.

Material Tendencies: Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings

The works of Dutch design duo Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings embody the distinctive identity the couple is known for: colour, gradual hues, transparency, layers and geometric patterns and grids, yet with a very gentle and delicate appearance.

Architonic: ‘If you had to pick one material to work with for the next three years, what would it be?’

Both: ‘Ceramics.’

In 2013, Scholten & Baijings started working in Arita, the oldest Japanese porcelain region. After their ‘Colour Porcelain’ collection for 1616/ Arita Japan, they decided to continue working with porcelain and were invited to take part in this initiative together with Teruhiro Yanagihara, artistic director of 1616/ Arita Japan, to mark the 400-year anniversary of Arita.
