Imagining a glass skyscraper which, instead of using energy, is itself a source of energy for the entire building sounds like the future, but recent studies suggest that this could soon become a reality.

Buildings with glass facades often have a coating that reflects and absorbs at least part of the light to reduce brightness and heating inside the building.
Transparent solar panels instead of dispersing the energy they could use it to supply part of the building's electricity needs.
A team led by University of Michigan researchers, set a new efficiency record for both transparent and color-neutral solar cells in August 2020. The team achieved 8.1% efficiency and 43.3% transparency by replacing conventional silicon...

“L'anno vecchio è finito ormai / Ma qualcosa ancora qui non va / Si esce poco la sera/ Compreso quando è festa/ E c'è chi ha messo dei sacchi di sabbia vicino alla finestra / Ma la televisione ha detto che il nuovo anno / Porterà una trasformazione / E tutti quanti stiamo già aspettando...” 

Lucio Dalla's words, prophetic and intense, speak to the heart. We rediscovered with great emotion  images of the exclusive concert hosted at Superstudio 13 in 1994, in collaboration with Videomusic. We hope "the transformation" gets here soon with the "year to come", let yourself be carried away by the music ...

While the construction site of Superstudio Maxi, Superstudio’s new and third space, is in the finishing straight and our team is working on design of projects that will animate the space such as, for example, the DnaDesignNatureArchitecture exhibition format, we open a window on a theme which we are increasingly hearing about and that is an integral feature of the spirit and architecture of Superstudio Maxi: the LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. We talk about it with the architect Riccardo Hopps, an expert in LEED protocols. 
Widespread in Italy mostly among office properties, the LEED protocol...

For those who know Milan, Superstudio is a reference location for corporate and private events, which in recent years has become the ideal venue for small, impactful and innovative niche fairs and exhibitions, open to professionals or visitors, that stand out for their elengant environment and efficient and flexible organization.

Few weeks have passed since Enzo Mari's death, great protagonist of the italian design and culture, and we meet Lorenzo Damiani. He collaborated with many brands from Cappellini to Ikea, has a vision of the design process that comes from the research of necessities and exploration of materials and he ideally works in that junction area between the works of Enzo Mari and the Castiglioni brothers and the contemporary design system. More of an inventor rather than an archistar.

Polyhedric but never blatant, firmly balanced between form and function, where and when begins the design experience of Lorenzo Damiani...

Twenty Years is the title of the highly anticipated new single by Maneskin out today. They achieved success as teenagers on X Factor stage, and once again confirm their 652.000 followers expectations by presenting a new live single, right there, last night. The launch campaign is uncompromising, with Damiano, Victoria, Thomas and Ethan showing "no veils" to the public, from the large ledwalls set up at Milan Central Station and on all social channels.
And what about us? We were on set!

#UnPassoAvanti is the LINES campaign claim - entirely shot in the large Central Point venue of Superstudio Più with Emma Marrone - which invites women to rebel against sayings and ways of acting derived from old, backward stereotypes, denigrating the dignity of women: proud to have been part of this innovative campaign. 
It is time to take a step forward in support of women, against all discrimination!

The media terrorism accompanying the pandemic sometimes suggests extreme solutions to avoid coronavirus infection, without remembering that this infinitesimal, treacherous virus knows how to find a thousand opportunities to infiltrate into our body and infect us, with a more or less frightening viral load.
In this scenario, the last resort of Contactless, not touching anything or anyone, seems to be an increasingly practicable way confronted with many solutions that creativity proposes. Well.
Instead of leafing through communitarian newspapers and magazines, with the dangerous gesture of wetting one’s finger, digital editions on your own device or computer shall be used. Be careful to sign: either e-signatures and if not woe to use the kindly offered ballpoint pen, one never knows, therefore all provided of personal pen...

Since the '70s, when the beginning of the debate on pollution began to have a slow grip on public opinion, the idea of protecting our person and our environments through invisible screens with soft shapes hovers in our minds. The man protected by the bubble, curved and welcoming, physically separates himself from the outside world, observing him through a filter from a privileged position.

The research carried out in those years by collectives such as the Austrians Haus-Rucker-Co focused on these issues.
Their installations and ideas may have seemed utopian at the time, but they prompted a reflection on the relationship between the person and the surrounding environment...
