闪耀的改变 Sparking Change

受 Interni的邀请MCA与Roca合作打造的装置艺术 “Sparking Change闪耀的改变”，在米兰大学Interni 70周年Cross Vision主题展区展出。

Invited by Interni, MCA collaborated with Roca to create the installation “Sparking Change”, which was exhibited at the University of Milan in the Cross Vision themed area of Interni’s 70th anniversary.

“ ‘闪耀的改变’ 强调尊重环境和传统技术的创新。此外，它还证明了科技不仅仅是创造的工具，也能激发新的创意。” ——Mario Cucinella Sparking Change, this installation is evidence that technology and digital tools are no longer merely instruments for creating but also for stimulating new ideas. ——Mario Cucinella

从淡黄到朱红，从浅蓝到克莱因蓝，绚烂的变幻演绎着陶瓷窑炉色彩与温度的奇妙关系。1200 个回收陶瓷材料的3D打印模块，伴随线条的起伏，构成高达 4.5 米的半圆背景。与展区的三角形地块完美契合。高低不一的陶瓷模块变身休闲座位，释放空间和功能的无限可能性。

From pale yellow to vermilion, from light blue to Klein blue, the brilliant variations interpret the wonderful relationship between colour and temperature in the ceramic kiln. 1200 3D printed bricks made of recycled ceramic materials form a 4.5 metre high semi-circular backdrop with undulating lines. This fits perfectly with the triangular shape of the exhibition area. Ceramic bricks of varying heights are transformed into lounge seating, unleashing the infinite possibilities of space and function.

设计的灵感源于Roca投产的全球首条卫生陶瓷零碳电隧道窑。曲线的造型和颜色梯度是一种视觉隐喻，象征着陶瓷烧制过程中逐渐升高的操作温度。嵌入的数字，展示每个生产阶段所需的精确温度，确保陶瓷产品的优异品质。结构模块采用天然生土和可回收陶瓷材料，通过3D打印技术完成，最小化降低生产工艺对环境的影响。

The design was inspired by the world’s first zero-carbon electric tunnel kiln for sanitary ceramics commissioned by Roca. The curved shapes and colour gradients are a visual metaphor for the gradually increasing operating temperatures during the firing of ceramics. Embedded figures, showing the precise temperatures required at each stage of production, ensure the excellent quality of the ceramic product. The structural bricks are made of natural raw clay and recyclable ceramic materials and are 3D printed to minimise the environmental impact of the production process.

Measuring 50x40x25 cm, the bricks are designed to be self-supporting and dry-assembled, which not only enhances their aesthetic appeal, but also makes them easy to dismantle and recycle for reuse in future events or installations. The changing colours guide the viewer, and scanning the QR code on the brick instantly transports the viewer into a virtual world, a unique immersive experience that brings the mystery of Roca’s new zero-carbon tunnel kiln to life. “Sparking Change” embodies the sustainability principles of recycling and decarbonisation, emphasising the reuse and sustainable transformation of materials, and demonstrates the positive environmental impact of Roca’s transformative innovation, the world’s first zero-carbon electric tunnel kiln for sanitary ceramics. Leading a paradigm shift in the ceramic production industry, the event will stimulate the public to think about and explore sustainable development.

正如 Roca集团营销和设计总监 Marc Viardot所说：”闪耀的改变 ” 强调了Roca对可持续发展的承诺，展示了知识、经验和技术是如何引领Roca实现行业内最伟大的创新。

As Marc Viardot, Roca’s Group Marketing and Design Director, puts it, “Sparking Change ” emphasises Roca’s commitment to sustainability and demonstrates how knowledge, experience and technology have led Roca to achieve the greatest innovations in the industry.

城市矿山 Urban Mining

“城市矿山是一个关于城市的故事，是未来潜在的资源储备。根据这一理念，我们将城市空间想象成一个生态系统，通过自我解构，对现有材料再利用以维持自身发展，就像大自然一样：这是一种应用于建筑的循环理念，创意是整个过程的核心”。 ——Mario Cucinella “Urban Mining envisions cities as potential reservoirs for the future. This concept views urban spaces as ecosystems capable of deconstructing and transforming themselves using their own materials, much like natural processes. It promotes a circular approach to architecture, where the creative process takes center stage.” ——Mario Cucinella

For Milan Design Week 2024, MCA’s latest installation, “Urban Mining: Design, Disassembly, Dissemination”, was presented at Solferino 28 in Brera. Organised by Living e Abitare, the design magazine of the Corriere della Sera. The historic headquarters of Milan’s leading media outlet opened its doors to the public, welcoming national and international visitors.

受欧洲可持续发展议程的启发，设计从再生的角度探讨未来城市的主题，人类活动不再是对自然的侵略，而是从自然中汲取灵感并自我再生。该装置艺术，揭示了 “人工遗产”（原材料开采后，转化为基础设施、建筑和日常用品）的回收和管理过程，旨在倡导废旧资源的循环再利用，赋予其新的社会价值。从一个简单、有点简陋的日常物品：用于采摘果蔬的木箱，开始重新设计。这个 “不起眼 “的东西，在农闲季节被组装起来，构成一个充满潜力、具备无限可能的城市文化景观。之后再拆解，木箱恢复其原来的用途，随着生产活动散布到整个农业领域，将其循环利用的理念传播开。

Inspired by the European Agenda for Sustainable Development, this installation delves into the theme of the future city from a regenerative perspective, wherein human-made spaces are not perceived as detracting from nature, but rather draw inspiration from it, seeking self-regeneration. Urban Mining is conceived as a process aimed at reclaiming and managing the “anthropogenic heritage” (materials extracted and transformed into infrastructures, buildings, and everyday items), with the goal of rejuvenating matter and reutilizing it. The redesign began with a simple, somewhat humble, everyday object: a wooden box used for picking fruit and vegetables. This “unassuming” object is assembled during the farming season to form an urban cultural landscape full of potential and infinite possibilities. Later disassembled again, the wooden crate resumes its original use, spreading its recycling concept as production activities are dispersed throughout the agricultural sector.

参观者将沉浸于一个可拆卸的天际线下，在灯塔构成的城市森林中穿行，沿途偶遇有关城市矿山和未来社会的主题，如：物质城市和非物质城市；城市材料；城市木材；智能共享微型交通；城市生物多样性以及宜居城市等。“Urban Mining”是一个可以无数次拆解和重组的城市背景，展示出以灵活性、弹性和可持续性为基本原则，自然、创新的城市建设和设计方法。

Visitors are drawn into a skyline of dismountable, luminous towers, where various themes related to Urban Mining and the future society are scattered throughout, including The Materials of the City; The Material City and the Immaterial (Digital) City; The Wood of the City; Shared and Intelligent Micro-Mobility; The Living City (featuring ‘urban vegetation’); and The City Experienced by its Inhabitants. “Urban Mining” is an urban context that can be dismantled and reconfigured countless times, demonstrating a natural and innovative approach to urban construction and design based on the fundamental principles of flexibility, resilience and sustainability.

米兰设计周期间，以”Urban Mining城市矿山：设计、拆解、传播 “为平台 ，展开了循环性和城市良性发展模式等紧迫问题的讨论。不仅强调了循环经济的3R原则 “减量化（Reduce）、再利用（reuse）、可循环(recycle) “，还引导人们对拆卸和再生设计的关注，顺应自然系统的演化规律，激发社会的可持续发展思考。

The Urban Mining installation, “Design, Dismantle, Disseminate”, serves as a platform during the Design Week for discussions on circularity and virtuous development models. It not only emphasizes the principles of “reduce, reuse, recycle” but also directs attention towards designing for disassembly and regeneration in alignment with natural cycles.

理想之城 2025大阪世博会意大利馆 La Città Ideale the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka

设计概念源于收藏于乌尔比诺国家美术馆中的十五世纪绘画《理想城市》，是意大利文艺复兴时期最具象征性的形象之一。“理想之城”将意大利文化中典型的广场、剧院和花园等传统元素有机融入。通过文艺复兴的绘画、城市空间的比例和自由的社交氛围，构建一个人、艺术、环境和历史文化和谐的社会有机体，代表城市的新理念。彰显了意大利国家对社会空间的愿景。

The design concept is based on the fifteenth-century painting “The Ideal City”, one of the most emblematic images of the Italian Renaissance, which is housed in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Urbino. The “Ideal City” incorporates the traditional elements of piazzas, theatres and gardens typical of Italian culture. Through Renaissance paintings, the proportions of urban space and a free social atmosphere, it builds a social organism in which people, art, environment and history and culture are in harmony, representing a new concept of the city. A manifestation of the Italian national vision of social space.
