Cornucopia is intended to be a business incubator with a focus on agricultural innovation. The building program asks for a 45,000 square foot interior located on a site with an 80 ft x 155 ft footprint. Three design goals drive the design: sustainability, occupant wellbeing and the building’s connection to the site.

is located in Volterra, Italy, on the set of stairs leading to via Della Pietraia. It is a sensory installation that plays with thermal extremes by taking advantage of the natural spring waters to create a cool and calming space of rest.

Inchiostro

is an interactive installation immersing the participant within a sensory space. The user interacts with the space via the main control board through touch. The control board consists of specialty conductive paint that, when touched, triggers both visual and auditory events filling the space and creating a full-body sensory experience. Through this installation, the user transitions from spectator to participant and becomes a vital part in progressing the sensorial narrative.
