Italy, Florence

Based on Lorenzo Papi‘s visionary and poetic idea of an open air theatre inspired to the dynamic beauty of sunflower, the project aims to get through the technological feasibility of this futuristic architectural utopia. Multi-layered tempered glass, stainless steel structure, pre-compressed cantilever beams, pneumatic foundations and other high-tech devices assure structural stability, kinamatical roto-traslation and outstanding security of the 300 seats crystal dream theatre.
