CATERINA TIAZZOLDI / NUOVA ORDENTRA – (DESIGN PRACTICE)

Studio description
Caterina Tiazzoldi’s agenda develops design tools to face creatively the complexity of today’s cities. Work and research are characterized by a strong interaction between an advanced digital research in architecture, developed in the academic and scientific field at the Politecnico di Torino and Columbia University, with ten years’ experience in the product and architectural design.
Nominated at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, Caterina Tiazzoldi/ Nuova Ordentra work engages the concept of repeatability, adaptability, recognition and variation where she developed a deep understanding of needs of contemporary spatial modules conceived to respond to different contextual conditions and requirement.
The firm has been invited to participate to several international events such as Torino World Design Capital, the Young Design Talent selection by Giulio Cappellini for the Temporary Museum for New Design, Advanced Architecture Biennal Settimo Tokio, Experimenta Design, Compotec.
Caterina Tiazzoldi – Nuova Ordentra work has been internationally presented in conferences and symposiums (Institut of Architectura Avancada de Cataluña, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, Columbia University, has been published in the magazines (Domus, Interni, Metropolis,Elle Décor), books (Shops 2009) and scientific publications (Nominated Best Paper by the ARCC Journal).

Parametric Stalactites is a design proposal for a luxury Italian shoe brand. It has been conceived as an adaptable layout for a shoe store.
The Parametric Stalactites design derives from a unique parametric digital model that can achieve different configurations. All the surfaces are conceived as an assembly of 45x45 cm ‘smart parametric tiles’ responding to the different spatial requirements of the various store locations. Each tile can be more or less extruded according to the size of the store and the quantity of shoes on display.
Parametric Stalactites engages the concept of repeatability, adaptability, recognition and variation where she developed a deep understanding of needs of contemporary commercial modules and their requirements to respond to different contextual conditions.

Description
PARAMETRIC BOOKSHELVES - Adaptation to clients requirements Parametric Bookshelves is an adaptable piece of furniture. A unique digital model produces infinite configurations on the bases of the differents customers requirements.
When introduced as input in the parametric digital model, differenciation becomes a design input.
The system creates endless new configuration by changing tickness color saturation and depth when costumers introduce the size they require.Parametric bookshelves receive the different input and react in accord to determined diversities- It becomes and infinite exensible grid respond to the different conditions to clients diversity.
