> Giacinto Cerviere Vortex_A

Vortex_A is an architectural practice headed by Giacinto Cerviere. His works focus on theoretical aspects of the great utopias from architecture to engineering of the 20th c., until to the visionary potential of marginal areas and to the complex problems of urban systems. Cerviere graduated in 1998 from the Faculty of Architecture of Naples "Federico II". In March 1999 he received a Ph.D. in Architectural Design, to conduct a long historical-critical research on Antonio Sant'Elia. In 2002-04 he was  Postdoc researcher studying the historical relationship between the architecture and the theoretical 20th c. avant-garde.
In 2009 Cerviere was selected for a special issue of Domus magazine of the new generation of Italian architects. In 2011 he was a contributor in the catalogue of the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In September has exhibited in Tokyo and Toronto in the exhibition "Italy Now" at the UIA World Congress.

> Formalhaut

For 30 years Formalhaut designed land­scape and pub­lic spaces. Their works are archi­tec­tural and experimental. Years ago Formalhaut showed cows in trans­par­ent boxes in a pad­dock and in front of Frankfurt’s sky­line we built a group of silos as houses for sin­gles cit­ing a game of chess. These projects pre-empted the cre­ation of the sem­i­nal  liv­ing room project. With liv­ing room in the medieval town of Gelnhausen we sur­pass bor­ders. Its walls do not func­tion as enclo­sure, more like a mem­brane for an ‘urban osmo­sis’, sug­gest­ing a swap of pub­lic for pri­vate, thus mix­ing the house with the town. It offers more than just a cheek­ily stuck out tongue, with its drawer extended into the pub­lic realm, while Thomas Kling’s poem on the façade states “…the house is the mouth cave…”We work on the non-functional space and chal­lenge its enig­matic char­ac­ter by ques­tion­ing: can the phys­i­cal bor­der of space be beau­ti­ful itself or is the expanse of the void the rea­son for beauty? This hair­split­ting ques­tion leads to dis­till space from ‘space-border’ and vice versa. In the tent pic­tures the inside/outside is con­fused by fold­ing, in the sculp­tures three dimen­sional house-size ves­sels have super-thin soft walls , in the pho­to­graph­i­cal light works we show space of no mass…
