Arcum – 2020 比赛

The Arch represents in the history of architecture, the Italian beauty among centuries. Since the ancient Rome, it is exported worldwide with bridges and aqueducts. Recognised as artistic global heritage in the wonderful porticos of Bologna, followed by Torino and Padova, passing from the minimal and statuary rationalist architecture, as a symbol in the world of Italian greatness. Neymar, one of the greatest contemporary designer, chooses the arch as main shape for the project of the new Mondadori headquarter, which will become one of the symbols of Milan architecture. In the Arcum sideboard the space is scanned in a statuary way, recalling the space divisions of the architectural lodges, all characterised by the use for the external structure of precious woods.
