Niccolo Casas: Plasticity
Parley for the Oceans present Plasticity, an installation by Italian architect Niccolo Casas in collaboration with the Italian Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia.
Plasticity is a 3.6-metre high sculpture, 3D-printed by innovative design brand Nagami and fabricated with Parley Ocean Plastic®, a premium material created from upcycled plastic waste recovered from remote islands, waters and coastlines by Parley’s Global Cleanup Network.
Conceived and designed by Niccolo Casas, the installation will form part of ‘Resilient Communities’, this year’s theme of la Biennale di Venezia’s Italian Pavilion curated by architect and academic Alessandro Melis. The curator has invited architects to reflect and speculate on radical strategies for resilient communities in a call to take action on climate change. Plasticity is Niccolo Casas’ response to the brief and embodies the expression of a radical vision for a new, eco-innovative architecture.
