Inside the Surface: FMG’s Vision of Porcelain Stoneware
Innovating with materials for interiors and architecture is still possible: Full Body³ is FMG’s latest creation, reimagining full-body porcelain stoneware.
From Cervino to Gran Paradiso and along the whole valley, the route leads us to discover the first urban buildings in Hennebique reinforced concrete by Giovanni Antonio Porcheddu, projects by Ettore Sottsass Senior and Junior for Aosta, buildings by Franco Albini and Carlo Mollino. But also town plans and buildings at high altitudes by BBPR, Figini, Pollini, Cereghini and Melis, hydroelectric stations by Giovanni Muzio, seven projects for Aosta by Gio Ponti and twenty-seven designs for the Valle by Carlo Mollino.
It also includes historical coverage and documentation of the current state of conservation of this extraordinary – in terms of both quality and quantity – architectural production, carried out in the time between the twenties and sixties and for the most part unpublished. The exhibition also includes a selection of contemporary photographs by Olivo Barbieri.
