Isola della Musica

Conceived via mathematical models existing in nature and not just as a formal gesture, the music venue emerges from the lake’s waters with its mother-of-pearl gentle shapes. The geometry of the shell is not arbitrary but is related to the functions and the volumes enclosed whereby the primary shell is covered by an outer skin, deployed as a rain screen.

The skin is made up of ceramic tiles of various sizes creating a pixelated effect while providing openings as required. The surface’s appearance will change in different weather and light conditions over the course of the day. The facility has been designed to accommodate varying programs and performances.
