The Mosca Bianca project by AACM combines a workshop with an exhibition space in Padua, focusing on terracotta crafting. A continuous, sculptural ceiling element connects to a central light source, enhancing spatial experience. A multifunctional exhibition table transforms into a worktable for ceramics, featuring integrated storage and a lightweight design. The use of rammed-earth plaster made from production waste reinforces sustainability within the interior, aligning with the lifecycle of terracotta and maintaining a clear spatial language that discreetly conceals workshop tools.
The design concept integrates the entire process of terracotta crafting into the spatial and material composition of the interior, creating a continuous, sculptural element that guides spatial experience.
The primary design gesture evokes the twisting movement of clay on a potter's wheel, creating a centripetal dynamic, drawing attention to a zenithal light source.
Constructed from okumé sheets and supported by T-shaped frames, the exhibition table features a slender, cantilevered design, emphasizing lightness and fulfilling functional requirements for clay workability.
Walls and ceilings are finished with rammed-earth plaster composed of clay and brick production waste, reflecting a focus on reuse and closed material cycles consistent with terracotta's lifecycle.
