Three Floating Rooms / Art Pavilion M. started as an invited competition for a museum of Land Art and Multimedia in October 2020, promoted by the city of Almere, a city in the Netherlands built in the 1980s, a ‘new town’ in Flevoland. Flevoland is the 12th and last province of the Netherlands, the result of the largest ‘reclamation’ work in the world. It is an area that was once the Zuider sea – the inner sea of the Netherlands, and that was transformed into agricultural land in the 1920s. Built on the waters of Weerwater in Almere, Art Pavilion M. opened during the horticultural expo Floriade in spring 2022. Continue reading Studio Ossidiana

The project aims to reimagine the vocabulary of public space and playgrounds, rooted in research on play and material experiments, it considers play as a form of art, as the performance of playing, as a game and as a scene for action. Studio Ossidiana’s Playground is a landscape at children’s height. Horismos, the green-blue waved central piece in the courtyard, is a space to pass through and explore as well as a surface to be touched. It is designed to foster children’s imagination — not a playground that dictates how to play but rather one that stimulates discovery. Following the Dutch legacy of Aldo van Eyck, the playground elements are conceived as ‘open works’ : spaces which don’t have a designated function and can therefore be used in different ways, with their simple and abstract forms stimulating children to use their imagination. While standardized playground equipment “dictates” what children should do (slide, swing, dig), our ‘open work playground’, made by abstract equipment, stimulates the creativity of children, encouraging them to discover possible actions within.

The province of Groningen consists of a constellation of small villages, generally characterized by relative isolation, lack of services, a decreasing population, and, above all, the common fear of the very ground on which they stand, site of induced earthquakes due to gas extraction. Ganzedijk and Hongerige Wolf are two village where these problems are tangible. They are but a 15 minutes drive from areas affected by earthquakes, having the potential to offer a temporary shelter in a places close from home. Continue reading Studio Ossidiana
