Reporting from Venice: The Design of the Encounter

Studio Ossidiana will present a selection of recently completed public spaces, experimenting on the relations between model making and building, narration and materialization, curation and cultivation. The presentation will expand on design and architecture as forms of mediation between people and other animals, climates, and minerals, moving across the scales of the body, the model, the room, and the territory.

Studio Ossidiana is a practice in architecture and design, led by Alessandra Covini and Giovanni Bellotti. Founded in 2015, the studio is always in search of new material expressions to translate visions and stories into engaging spaces and objects. Studio Ossidiana is based in Rotterdam, working with an international team of architects, designers and researchers.
