Muta (2005)
Gatteo a Mare, IT - Competition

MUTA, designed for the valorization of the external image of OIKOS headquarters (firm of solvent-free paint systems), proposes a truly experimental approach to the question of color in architecture. Interpreting the tradition of accurate studies about color and attention towards the environment, the project aims to produce a visible manifesto of the company’s philosophy and a step in the direction of the research. MUTA integrates nature and artificial as collaborating parts of a whole dynamic system. A decise landscape intervention amplify and marks the seasonal colour shift, developing crucial bio-climatic functions at the same time. A new pervasive network of distribution of colour climbs up the building facades and sprinkle them, drawing from the production plant.
