Light Wall by ecoLogicStudio has been shortlisted for AJ Small Projects Awards for 2009. The Light Wall reinterprets the traditional “massive” Italian wall as a thick concrete sponge, whose ability to absorb and alter heat, light and view can be changed and adapted to contextual requirements and is one of 24 projects from across the UK to have made the shortlist. The project will be exhibited at New London Architecture and other venues around the UK throughout the year, as well as feature in the architecture journal, the AJ. The overall winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on the 4th of February. further info images & video >> ecoLogicStudio
Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto co-founded ecoLogicStudio in 2004; the office’s work focuses on the development and application of a design method capable of exploiting the latest innovations in digital computational design. The work deploys digital technologies as a means of developing hyper-realities, regimes of intense exchange between the artificial and the natural, the designed and the accidental. Ecology is seen as a conceptual as well as a material paradigm; it is a generative force capable of re-describing current paradigms of inhabitation and manipulation of the environment; methodologically it thrives to develop a new design equation where technological progress equals an intensified symbiotic engagement with natural forces, processes and ecosystems.
