Traveling pavilion for the exhibition Made in Italy

Created by retrofitting a large semi-truck, the display structure is designed to contain the exhibition “Made in Italy for sports – design off limits.” A core module – which serves as exhibition space – will extend from the vehicle, consisting of a frame and an inflatable enclosure formed by an expandable membrane.

Smaller modules can be created to contain or support technological equipment, making the structure completely self-sufficient.

Project: Mario Cucinella Architects & Università di Roma sezione Arti Design e nuove tecnologie del dipartimento ITACA – Direzione scientifica e coordinamento generale – Prof Tonino Paris
