I think there has been a good outward movement in recent years. We work hard to explore new spots all the time. All of this also has to deal with a context that is much more than characteristic.ĭessert, installation view at Alcova 2022 Image: Mattia ParodiĪccording to Ciuffi, “Milan is a city that still has so much to discover. In both cases, the finished product design takes second place, while processes, workmanship, intrinsic material properties, design horizons and corporate values emerge. Similar to the project done by NM3 for Laufen is, for example, that of XL EXTRALIGHT® together with the Parasite 2.0 architectural studio (which we have talked about here). We put together Laufen, which is a leading sanitary-ware and bathroom products company, and the work of Studio Plastique, which with Fornace Brioni produces tiles made of glass from discarded ovens and microwaves," Valentina Ciuffi told us.īeing able to involve big brands and get them out of their comfort zone is not banal work.

It may have had an ornamental façade, perhaps added by Trajan when the seats of the circus were carried up thus far(Gnomon, 1927, p. 593 Verlag C.H.Beck). On the southwest side of this complex is the great exedra, a long curving arcaded gallery linking two wings, overlooking the Circus Maximus to the southwest allowing the emperor to watch the races. The courtyard complex was reserved for the private quarters of the emperor and was built around another peristyle garden surrounded by a colonnade on two levels, the upper containing complex sets of rooms and the lower, 10 m below ground level, consisting of a pool with an unusual design of islands consisting of four peltas, typical moon-shaped shields of the Amazons, all surfaces being originally faced with marble. On its southwest side the walls stand to a considerable height (after partial reconstruction in the 1930s) with several rooms around a semicircular hall. The elaborate rooms surrounding the peristyle alternated between open and closed spaces, suited to public use and perhaps several social groups. Other sources suggest a temple was built on the island, namely a temple of Minerva.
The 3rd Peristyle was filled almost completely with a huge pool as wide as that of the Domus Flavia and included a seascape perhaps of Greek mythology on an island connected to the side via a bridge with several arches, and with sculptures in the water.
The 2nd Peristyle garden is partly exposed but little is known of its architecture. The southern section was built a little later and some details suggest that it was not Rabirius who directed the work.
The Domus Augustana is built on two levels, the upper northern one consisting of the two peristyles to the north on the same level and closely linked to the Domus Flavia and therefore probably having public functions. The central section of the palace (labelled "Domus Augustana" in the diagram) consists of at least four main parts: the "2nd Peristyle" to the northeast, the central "3rd Peristyle", the courtyard complex and the exedra on the southwest.
