POLIGONI, la collezione che riprende in chiave moderna l’arte palladiana.

 Design: FM Studio

La trama creata dalle tessere del mosaico si interseca con quella della fuga in una rete senza soluzione di continuità.
In POLIGONI la modularità della texture trasforma il concetto tradizionale e antico dell’arte palladiana, definito dall’irregolarità della forma. I tozzetti, uno differente dall’altro, si muovono e si accostano occupando in modo tutt’altro che casuale il proprio posto nella matrice. 

Lo stesso disegno si presenta in 3 diverse scale: dalla maggiore per enfatizzare l’ordito creato dai poligoni o dalla fuga fino alla dimensione minore, dove i tozzetti diventano quasi tessere creando un effetto materico originale anche in spazi limitati. Ogni modulo risponde ad un’ampia gamma di gusti stilistici e di soluzioni di rivestimento sia interno che esterno.

La collezione è caratterizzata dal materiale, la pietra, che carico di simboli e di tradizione, è forte e capace di dare nuova vita all’ambiente grazie al lavoro e all’immaginazione dell’uomo.
Nella versione total back in Nero Marquina viene esaltata l’eleganza del motivo, rendendolo discreto ma allo stesso tempo di impatto grazie alle fughe chiare che creano contrasto.

Friul Mosaic, simbolo per eccellenza di artigianalità, unicità e arte nel mondo del mosaico, con il catalogo Design che include POLIGONI, ha voluto armonizzare tra loro forme e materiali per creare una serie di superfici che interpretano in chiave moderna e innovativa qualsiasi spazio d’architettura. La tesserina classica lascia spazio a figure di ogni tipo: listelli, poligoni irregolari, casette, losanghe, trapezi, tutti ottenuti con una lavorazione prevalentemente manuale.
Tutto ciò è reso possibile dagli artisti Friul Mosaic che all’interno del laboratorio dell’azienda, tuttora tagliano le tessere a mano servendosi della martellina, e realizzano così forme e mosaici dalla precisione sartoriale destinati a durare nel tempo. 

Friul Mosaic ha firmato tra gli altri, la boutique Dolce & Gabbana a Venezia, il Caffè Contarena a Udine, il Grand Hotel Des Iles de Borromée; ma l’intervento più impegnativo riguarda il Santuario Nacional Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao Aparecida, a San Paolo del Brasile, un cantiere di oltre 2000 mq di superficie.

In our language the word "contrast" often takes on a negative connotation, but in the history of color and therefore of aesthetics this is not always the case, on the contrary: it is precisely the coupling of what is dissimilar, sometimes completely antithetical, to generate a fruitful harmony. Think of Pantone's choice of 2021 to put together two meanings and two colors so distant from each other, Yellow and Gray.
This is one of the cases to consider for Planium metals, since with their chromatic diversity these light up each other in an Interior Design project. The Tiziano red of the Copper, for example, can make a pleasant “contrast” if placed next to the Air Force Blue of the Calamine, or a cold brushed stainless steel. All types of steels work well with dark Calamine, but above all warm tones: a metal, for example, with golden shades such as Brass. Then there is the possibility of daring and playing with more unexpected and unusual, less classic, almost completely new combinations: bringing the brown Oxidized Steel closer to the Stainless Concrete - which is light gray; or finalize a composition with multiple metals using Calamine as a watershed to generate different series.

The creation of BIM Objects, commonly called families in Revit, is essential for the completion of 3D BIM models, and for their proper operation.

BIM Objects are commonly searched for on the Internet in order to be included in a Revit design environment as Families without being modified in any way, and we often ignore the fundamental features, how they were made, the parameters used, the purposes they must fulfil, and the potential interaction with the 3D Model in construction.

Differently from what happens with a “.dwg” file in Autocad, or a “.ifc”, “.rfa” (Revit BIM Families are ".rfa", Revit BIM Projects are ".rvt" files) when a "Bim Family" object is added to a project Parametric 3D Model, the latter is enriched with all the information contained within the inserted object that can, therefore, be interrogated, edited, accounted for, etc.

They are interior design objects, such as Chairs, tables, armchairs and sofas, or real Architectural models such as doors, windows, cladding etc. Therefore, we need to understand their features to better exploit the potential and integration with the main BIM model that hosts them.

This tutorial will show how to crate a Revit family and, in particular, a furniture 3D BIM object.

The easiest thing to do is start from one of the furniture Revit Families found on this website to understand how it was created.

Take, for example, a chair, and more precisely the "Solo S62" .rfa file https://www.syncronia.com/it/modelli-3d-bim-cad-sedie/bb-italia/solo

When opened, the "Chair" Furniture object file will look like this:

In addition to carrying out a completely graphic function, in this case of furniture, a Revit family has a series of information and functions that allow it to interact with the 3D model of the project that is intended to host it.

These information and functions are defined parameters and are the performance output of the family.

Each Revit Family will have specific parameters, the creation of which is much more complex than the realization of an Autocad Block.

If we take a Window or Door Frame as an example, you should have the opportunity to meet the Architectural solutions of the 3D BIM Project, but this will have to be designed to comply with such requests in the simplest way possible without having to be physically modified every time.

We need the parameters of a 3D BIM family for this purpose.  

Now let's take a look at the family parameters of Furniture as an example. Simply click on Family Types of the Properties tab of the Create menu.

The "Family Types" menu that opens provides all information about the Furniture family parameters.

In this case, we see that there are three types of parameters:

• Materials and Finishes;
• Dimensions;
• Identity Data.

Within the first type we find the parameters of the Furniture BIM Family:

• Pillow;
• Frame;
• Foot.

It is important to note that the Revit Family used as an example is a piece of Furniture, a Chair, for which the manufacturer provides a fixed size and materials that can be chosen from the catalogue.

The choice of the materials of the Chair is the design variable, which is controlled by the Revit family parameters.

Each of these parameters has a value that, if well set, and once the family is hosted within the BIM project model, can be changed with the purpose, as said above, of assigning a custom material to the BIM Furniture object and, in particular, to the pillow, rather than to the frame or to the foot of the chair.

To check if this is sufficient, click on the reference value for "Pillow" for example and assign a different material than that set by default to the "Chair" Furniture object. This material can be selected from the “Material Browser” available.

Now, everything in the Revit family corresponding to the “Pillow” is associated with a different material, for example a glass.

Then, we check what part of the furniture object has changed appearance.

It can be noted that both the seat cushion and the backrest of the Furniture item have actually changed the material, it is used to indicate that both are associated with the parameter “Pillow”.

Now we will see how the "Materials and Finishes" parameters are associated to the various part of the Revit family in question.

Selecting the chair backrest will activate the properties of the specific object, and in "Materials and Finishes" the "Glass" material is associated. Immediately to the right you will note a button.

This is the command to set the association of the material parameter to the geometric shape selected.

By selecting the button, you enter the association or creation menu of the material parameters of the Furniture BIM object taken as an example.

The parameter to which the furniture object geometry selected is associated, and we find the "Pillow" parameter of the "Materials and Finishes" type.

At this point, you can choose to associate the selection with another existing parameter (Foot or Frame), or create a new parameter, for the purpose of, for example, differentiating the material between the backrest and the seat of the Revit family.

To do this, select the "Add parameter" button and you will see the "Parameter Properties" menu in reference to the new parameter to create what we will call “Pillow 2”.

After the creation of the new parameter we check if the same appears among the family parameters. We go back and click on the Family Types of the Properties tab of the Create menu of the ".rfa" file.

As you can see, the new parameter “Pillow 2” is now present and positioned correctly within the type of f “Materials and Finishes” of our Chair.

At the same, we can assign a new material in the same way.

To check that our BIM family works properly, we need to upload it to a Revit file project:

• Open a new project from the "R" drop-down menu and select "New"; "Project", "Architectural Model"

The new work environment presents itself as a blank floor plan.

• From the "Switch windows" drop-down menu, return to the Revit family being created by selecting it from the open views.

• Upload the chair furniture object in the project BIM model.
• Now we have the furniture BIM object within a Revit design environment, and we can check it simply by selecting it.

In the properties toolbar, select the “Edit type” and properties menu of the imported 3D family type opens.

As a test, replace the materials associated with parameters “Pillow”, “Pillow2”, “Frame” and “Foot” parameters creating new ones or using those already present in the Revit “Material Browser”.

Now view the 3D Bim model and set the Realistic display style.

As can be seen, each element of the Revit family has been associated with a "Materials and Finishes" type Parameter and a different material can be associated to each of these.

Therefore, the possibility of choosing the materials of the Chair Furniture object controlled by the Revit family parameters is satisfied.

#SUSTAINABILITY – After the announcement of the project in early summer, the work of Villages Nature have already begun. Villages Nature is the new eco-tourism destination, based on the search for harmony between man and nature. It is designed and it will be managed by applying the highest standards of sustainable development, in particular by using local renewable energy: geothermal energy deep in the Dogger in the Île-de-France, which will cover 100% of the energy requirements of the site.

Villages Nature is located 32 km east of Paris, in the Seine-et-Marne. It marks the start of a new generation of tourism projects and territorial programming that combines accessibility through transport, urban proximity and local energy. Territorial integration is planned by an innovative Sustainable Action Plan establishing quantitative and qualitative parameters that are applied to all project phases: design, construction and exploitation of tourism. This project is developed with the British NGO BioRegional: they adopt the same "One Planet Living" methodology. In 2013 Village Nature was also chosen by the United Nations Environment Programme as a major project to apply the "Global Partnership for sustainable tourism".

Lo spazio Metroquality in via Solferino 24 (MI), il punto di incontro tra il mondo della progettazione e le aziende, diventa sede della mostra FERRAMENTA, che nasce dall’idea di far convergere le conoscenze e le capacità di un’azienda che lavora i materiali come Niva, con la creatività di un gruppo di tredici architetti e studi milanesi.

Diceva Enzo Mari “Da trent’anni si producono oggetti di design che hanno l’unico scopo/caratteristica di sembrare diversi uno dall’altro.” In questo senso, le opere di FERRAMENTA hanno la straordinaria caratteristica di non somigliare a nulla: sono tredici numeri primi, nati dalla pura creatività di progettisti da sempre impegnati nella produzione industriale.

È così che il metallo viene plasmato, piegato, bucato e saldato per dare vita alle idee degli artisti: la materia prende forme complesse, affascinanti, e straordinariamente rari. Anzi, unici.

Metroquality ospita FERRAMENTA da lunedì 15 a giovedì 18 ottobre, in occasione di Brera Design Days 2018.
