 Gianfranco Bombaci, Matteo Costanzo (2A+P) Bubblehouse 2A+P, Italy 2000 “Bubblehouse” is an architectural experiment based on two aspects. On the one hand it is the plan of an elastic house, without a typology, in which forms and functions blend into a single liquid substance and generate a fluid space. On the other hand, the idea of a house that is able to represent the personality of the person living in the house and to establish a relation between the house and other people, thus making it become a tool of courtship. “You are no one, these days, without a beautiful home, you have no charm”. In the attempt of exploring new ways of communicating architecture, these two aspects become an ironic and romanticised story set in the future. This story faces even subjects like digital technology and virtual reality, in a highly critical way. The results are stage designing and screen play on two different levels; they are interwoven and are able to exchange places according to the narrative rhythm. Gianfranco Bombaci was born in Rome in 1975. He has been studying architecture at Rome University, “La Sapienza”, since 1994. He has participated in a number of international competitions on architecture and design. In 1998 he became founder and member of the editorial committee of 2A+P, a design magazine. He participated in the NAI Summer Masterclass 99 “the weight of the image” edited by NOX Architects and Ove Arup. For six months he studied at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. In May 2000 he won the first prize at the workshop “le workshop00” organised by the Ecole d’architecture in Lille, France. In June 2000 his project “CityLab 1.0” was selected at the international contest, “Città: Less Aesthetic More Ethic” at the Venice Biennial Matteo Costanzo was born in Rome in 1973 and has been studying architecture at Rome University, “La Sapienza”, since 1994.
