Localizado em Palermo nos
últimos 50 anos, o Centro Cultural Francês de Palermo
e Sicília está sendo reestruturado e Thierry
Roche, diretor do centro, pediu para que o “Eletronic Shadow”
fizesse parte do design deste novo espaço. A situação
é uma oportunidade perfeita para Naziha Mestaoui e Yacine Aït
Kaci, fundadores do Eletronic Shadow, formalizarem os conceitos de arquitetura
híbrida e criarem um espaço físico que atua como
uma interface com sua extensão digital. Suas contribuições
fundem o real e o virtual em um tempoespaço de descobrimento
e troca.Suas contribuições fundem o real e o virtual em
um tempo-espaço de descobrimento e troca. |

Based in Palermo for the past 50 years, the French Cultural Center
of Palermo and Sicily is being restructured and Thierry Roche,
Director of the Center, has asked Electronic Shadow to be part of redesigning
this new space. The context is a perfect opportunity for Naziha Mestaoui
and Yacine Aït Kaci, founders of Electronic Shadow, to put the concepts
of hybrid architecture to work and create a physical space that acts as
an interface with its digital extension. Their contribution fuses the real
and the virtual into one timespace of discovery and exchange. New information and communication technologies, along with the Internet, have expanded on various flows known to the physical world to define an expanded electronic continuum. Internet thus constitutes a global layer, capable of extending almost all human activities into the electronic world in a new timespace. Geography is eliminated in favor of a constant flow, in which all information tends towards the ubiquitous and immediate, constituting a new timespace – the 25th time zone.Within the context of the French Cultural Center project, this idea is a core concept that can consistently be traced in the Center’s architecture, visual identity and design, as well as on the future website. The space will thus be clearly geared to the rest of the world: not only the Mediterranean basin but also the rest of the world via the Internet, not only the website but also other places with which the Center is currently and will be in contact. Upon entering the Center, beyond Palermo and of Sicily, visitors will enter the network. |
