CARLO RATTI’S DESIGN AT THE OLYMPICS

Carlo Ratti, the great architect and theorist of “sensitive cities,” as interviewed by Gisella Borioli in the book Superstudio Design Show published by Superstudio, offers an enlightened, unconventional journey of style and design. Designer of the Essential Olympic and Paralympic torches for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games, he places the flame at the center and minimizes everything else. He resists formal overstatement, emphasizing the “less is more” motto, and designs two lightweight torches made from recycled materials, refillable up to 10 times. Passing from hand to hand, they remain alight, alive, like the athletes’ hope of victory and the universal passion for sport.
