‘…quel genio di Arturo!’

The famous tale of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp inspires the object’s shape while modern technology creates its magic effects.

In researching this work I am fascinated by geometric patterns in three dimensional structures and see great potential applications in contemporary architecture
