Despite the totally new space, the garden is perfectly integrated with the surrounding building, as if it had always been part of it. Not a place to admire, but a space to experiment on a daily basis; a corner to rest, an educational space and a stage setting for cultural and social events.

The unveiled garden is a relaxing oasis where the seating, designed to welcome people and yet delimit the lawn, creates a connection between those who rest in the shade of the trees and their surroundings. The art 671 garden is the perfect place for savouring art, engaging in cultural discussions, getting lost in a good book, or letting music envelop us.

In the evening, when the lights of Viabizzuno's 'Campanule', beautifully shaped lamps inspired by mountain flowers, are turned on, the garden suddenly turns into a cosy and intimate setting, bringing a feeling of serenity.

Scenario 1: "What if there were no fossil fuels and the sun were the only source of energy? We would use the energy offered by the sun."

The bright side of the sun: the light installation is composed of an array of 625 halogen lamps, reflected in a framework of mirrors, creating the visual effect of a 50 m diameter sphere. The energy of the installation is precisely that of the sun, in fact, it comes from renewable sources. Thanks to a visual effect achieved through non-parallel mirror panels, looking inside the installation, the visitors discover a ‘quadrisphere’ much larger than its container. The caustic lights given by the reflections on the Mylar evoke the light of the galaxy. The sun reflected is about 20 m in diameter and the solar energy reproduced is about 30 Kwh.

Scenario 2:"What if climate disasters became more and more frequent? We would be gathering in resilient communities, sharing resources and hopes. Because we’re all on the same boat."

Disaster: light installation composed of a vibrant platform and a ring light which projects the shades of the visitors on the walls. Dis-astro (disaster), which literally means ‘with no stars’, because with no references you may get lost. Visitors are all reunited on a drafting raft, their bodies are the only presence on scene, a bulwark of hopeful humanity looking for holds and landing places.

Scenario 3:"What if we could not stay outside and had to take solar showers for health reasons? We would share a moment of care and meditation together. There would be indoor light therapy for humans."

Solarium: light installation composed of UV dynamic lights on the ceiling, surrounded by mirror-walls. On the floor, there are cushions to lie on.

These objects, adapted to the urban scale, conceal a meticulous attention to detail, typical of domestic objects. The volumes are made of iron in its natural state, a material evolving both in its surface and colour.

Influencing both the surfaces and the moments shared with the public, for the seven silos, the passage of time is essential. These imposing cylinders create a perspective cone that guides and punctuates the walkway to the entrance, while offering a restful place for those who wish to sit on their plinths.

Board games, such as backgammon, chess, checkers, and bagh chal, can be found in this area. A choice driven by the desire to offer the public a place of entertainment, inspired by the benefits board games bring to those who play them, while promoting respect for other people's time and encouraging collaboration.

The covered square of gres art 671 exemplifies how a well conceived space can become a vital meeting point, where relations arise spontaneously, and where the constant dialogue stimulates community building.

In these months of opening, gres art 671 has been a place to meet, have a coffee, wonderand imagine what we could build here. We have lived great art 671 as a place of possibilities.

gres art 671 is a place of public vocation, where art and culture blend with dialogue, by embracing community needs and investigating new languages of the contemporary. A place that invites people to discover, have fun, and experiment new possibilities.

To make the possibility come true, gres art 671 still needs some time. This is whyfrom January 8 2024 it is going toclose for a fewmonths to finish the requalification works. We’ll open again in springtime, as soon asthe transformation of gres art iscompleted. Here, you can find new spaces and services toswing more and morebetween art and life.

The gres café atmosphere is inspired by public space and urban environments such as the square, the arcade and the terrace. A place, set at the edge of the large spans, where the public is free to move around or stop to work or study in peace. A space of gathering, culture, and engaging conversations. The careful selection of food and beverages is designed to satisfy all tastes: from morning breakfasts at the café to happy hours, when the venue lives up, becoming an even more stimulating environment. A perfect place to spend time alone, meet someone or simply find inspiration.

With this activity, girls and boys will be encouraged to reflect on the vital importance of the sun and sunlight for our survival on planet Earth. We’ll explore how we can respect our planet by making sustainable choices. Divided into different workstations, children will be asked to leave to future generations an artistic repository of drawings of the sun made with different artistic techniques and materials. They will be encouraged to give different interpretations of the Sun, and their artworks will be hung on a large wall, one next to the other, shaping a collective repository of luminous creations.
