Article source: Edoardo Tresoldi Edoardo Tresoldi has designed and built artworks within a royal event in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Dubai-based studio Designlab Experience. The event, which was attended by 1,900 guests from the whole Middle East, required a threemonth work of planning and development.  Image Courtesy © Roberto Conte

Part of the artworks will be re-installed separately in institutional locations: universities, museums and parks across the UAE capital.

Using transparencies and their broken rhythms, Tresoldi cuts and breaks up classical harmonies with elements of absolute geometry such as spheres, cubes, and planes. The overall effect results in a continuous evolution of architectural abstractions and evanescent distortions.

In Tresoldi’s concept, the transparent architecture determines the interpretation of natural orders, with small visual poems in which these two worlds prove to be parallel and intersected at the same time.

If, to quote Hölderlin, gardens are what allow us to “dwell poetically upon this earth”, Tresoldi’s work in Abu Dhabi is then a multi-tiered experience, a sacralized and identified human space. The fusion of classical and modernist language generates a third one, marked by clear visual and volumetric decompositions, which find its time in the contemporaneity.
