"Slalom and UNA/UNLESS unveil Ecotonos, a site-specific installation premiering at Open Air Design 2025, held September 18-21 at BAM - Biblioteca degli Alberi, . Designed by architect Giulia Foscari, founder of UNA/UNLESS, the project merges Slalom's acoustic expertise with a conceptual framework rooted in ecology, cinema, and multispecies coexistence. Staged within the event's theme 'Frames of Nature,' the installation explores silence and listening as tools for reconnection between city and biodiversity, while extending research from UNA/UNLESS's Voice of Commons project at the Venice Architecture Biennale."
"During the same days, Ecotonos became a catalyst for a wider cultural program. The installation joined a broader series of public conversations exploring design, cinema, and urban ecologies. Moderated by Francesca Molteni, the talks united designers, curators, actors, and musicians. The opening event featured Giulia Foscari alongside cultural figures including Rosita Celentano, Giampiero Judica, and Patrizia Sardo Marras, with contributions from Alida Catella of COIMA Image and Caterina Mosca of MoscaPartners."

The project merges Slalom's acoustic expertise with a conceptual framework based on ecology, cinema, and multispecies coexistence, exploring silence and listening to reconnect city and biodiversity and extending research from UNA/UNLESS's Voice of Commons from the Venice Architecture Biennale. The installation anchored a wider cultural program of public conversations and open-air screenings, moderated by Francesca Molteni and featuring designers, curators, actors, and musicians, with contributions from Alida Catella and Michele De Lucchi.
