Green Egg
‘Green Egg’ is the art piece created by Matteo Cainer for the 11th Edition of the ‘L’arte nell’uovo di Pasqua’ - the Art in the Easter Egg. This is an international charitable art event in Rome, promoted by Sergio Valente and Francesco Stella. The exhibition brings together artists, sculptors, designers and architects of national and international importance who have been chosen to produce work on the theme of the Easter egg.
Our participation was not only in order to benefit the charitable foundation for research into the ageing of the vertebral column, but it was also in direct relation with the architectural work conducted in the office. ‘Green Egg’ reflected on the need to push the ecological agenda and build a more sustainable architecture that respects and fosters our surrounding environment.
Text:
Green skyscrapers, sustainable towers, urban forests and vertical farms all express the rebirth of environmentally conscious design. This project not only explores the relationship between nature and architecture, but also makes reference to the foundation of the Christian faith and the resurrection, through a new awareness of nature. The resulting art work embraces the design philosophy of environmental and social responsibility.
