ROCA presents a look at a specially educational installation dubbed Sparking Change which is designed by the team at Mario Cucinella Architects. It was first unveiled during Milan Design Week 2024 at Fuorisalone with a focus on merging the digital and physical worlds together.
The installation at the Università degli Studi features 1,200 modular ceramic blocks which are bright and 3D-printed. It is stacked into a semi-circular base that measures 4.5 meters in height. The idea of the installation is to represent sustainable efforts by merging elements of traditional and industrial innovation. Mario Cucinella, founder and president of the studio speaks on the project stating, "This installation is evidence that technology and digital tools are no longer merely instruments for creating but also for stimulating new ideas."
