06-05-2009 INVITATION: PLASMA STUDIO EXHIBITION IN ROME
The term Plasma comes from Classic Greek and means modelling, form, fabric, imagination, fiction. In Physics, the Plasma State - or fourth state of matter - describes a unique condition of matter arising at a complex overlay of external forces. Plasma, a charged field of particles, conducts energy.
Plasma Studio was founded by Eva Castro and Holger Kehne in 1999 in London and quickly came to recognition through a range of small innovative residential and commercial refurbishment projects in London, that all share a consistency in innovation, appropriateness and quality.
Since then Plasma has expanded into Europe with a second office location in Sesto near Bolzano, Italy, lead by partner Ulla Hell. These two studios work dialectically: in London, the office employes multi-cultural personnel, immersed in a fast-moving, diverse and urban culture, whereas in Bolzano - an area of outstanding natural beauty and strong local crafts tradition - the work is developed from engaging with nature, landscape and local materials.
Plasma Studio is winner of the Next Generation Architects Award by the Architecture Foundation and Pipers, the BD/Corus ‘Young Architect of the Year Award’ as well as the UK Galvanizing Award. Its work is published and exhibited worldwide.
Plasma Studio will exhibit from 6th May to 15th June 2009 at the architectural gallery “come se” in Rome, via dei Bruzi 4-6.
Opening: 6th of May, 8 p.m. Workshop “From parametric design to digital fabrication”: 7th-8th of May
