Quadrifoglio: Gradual Furniture

REX|LAB, 2024

Physical launch 15.04.2024 at the Milan Design Week, Milan 2024


Virtual launch 16.04.2024 of the CityX MVP (Milan Virtual Pavilion) 2024



Introducing the Quadrifoglio collection: a suite of robotically 3D printed stools at the intersection of digital design experimentation, cyclical material innovation, and robotic fabrication. Named after the Italian term for the four-leaf clover, a symbol traditionally associated with good fortune and luck, the Quadrifoglio collection embodies the spirit of innovation and creativity that defines … more

Postdigital Natures of Planet B

Postdigital Natures of Planet B is a large-scale, robotically 3D-printed 1:1 installation made of recycled plastic and other bespoke biodegradable materials. It proposes artificial-natural, physical-virtual, technological-botanical hybridity as metaphor for a future vision of a more intricate rapport between architecture and nature I the Anthropocene. It does this by exploring ambiguous overlaps and interfaces between the natural, the virtual, and the built environments. The installation was developed for and exhibited at the ARS Electronica Festival 2022 by the PDNB research … more

Additive Thrones

REX|LAB 2022

“The aim of this seminar was to design and fabricate an intricate and highly ornamental 3d printable throne prototype which is not just pure decor, but also a usable object. The project aligns itself in an ongoing research of robotic 3d printing using thermoplastics as a material system. “

CoConch • Seamless Digital Materiality

Beitrag zur Ausstellung “Potenziale 3”

REX|LAB, 2021/22

CoConch – Seamless Digital Materiality

CoConch – Seamless Digital Materiality continues the series of robotic experiments started in 2012 focusing on additive processes and the exploration of digital materiality at the REX|LAB of the University of Innsbruck. The installation was 3D-printed on-site in a scale of 1 : 1 during the exhibition period of the Potenzial 3 at the aut in Innsbruck from October 2021 to February 2022. The robot was put into

REX|LAB 2021

UIBK SPRING 2021 Robotic Fabrication Workshop. The workshop focused in computationally designing and digitally fabricating a large-scale prototype structure utilizing robotic 3D printing at REX-LAB facility at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. The participants had the opportunity to engage with robotic fabrication and experiment with computational techniques to produce complex and elaborated results.

E1 WS 2021/22 DIGITAL CERAMICS

ceramic 3D-printing in architecture – WS 2021

Students learn the theory and practice of additive processes in architecture. In small projects we develop the software skills to design for 3D printing as well as to generate the print files. In the next step, individual projects of the students are worked out and their own designs are printed in model scale. Here we focus on the material ceramic. Ceramics, i.e. fired clay, is already the most widely used building material on … more

PROJECT FEA(S)T

[Furthering Experimental Architectures, Strategies and Technologies]

Part of the Institute for Experimental Architecture at University of Innsbruck, operating since 2012, Studio Colletti operates at the crossroads of architectural design, building technologies and contempurary culture. Project FEA(S)T endeavours to further experimental architectures, strategies and technologies, to promote architecture as cultural production: a feat by an individual and/or a team – an achievement that requires great courage, skill, and strength – and a feast … more

TRIOPIC SPECTACLE @ARS Electronica Festival 2021

Postdigital Neobaroque Transmedia – PDNB

As part of an ongoing process of diversification, as well as a contribution to the decentralisation and democratisation of the digital, Triopic Spectacle* seeks to dissolve the hierarchies between the real and the potential – a radical concept that can be traced back to 17th century baroque thinking.
