KOSMIKADO
KOSMIKADO PlayArchitecture are sets of modular mini-models proportioned according to the golden ratio that can be joined together in various ways. Each composition archived, is a new spatial system and an original decorative object.
In the compositional process, the player's attention is directed towards the continuity of the path and the feeling of the imagined spatial experience.
The KOSMIKADO PlayArchitecture modules were created as an answer to the question "what would be the difference between an architecture game and traditional construction games?". An architecture game should be as anchored to a place as architecture itself. Since it cannot be designed in a specific place, each KOSMIKADO module synthesises and depicts the atmosphere of a specific city. There are 3 models already available: Rome, Bilbao and Lisbon...Cities with identities, full of contrasts and in transformation, which make possible the work of abstraction and synthesis proper to architectural creation.
The name KOSMIKADO comes from the union of cosmos - which comes from the Greek kósmos meaning "order", and also "world", "universe" - and the Japanese word mikado - which etymologically means random and gives its name to the game that consists of dropping a few sticks on the table and using this random configuration to play.
KOSMIKADO comes in a cardboard box with 8 modules - 4 white pieces and 4 black pieces - and is on sale in the shops of some museums in Rome, such as MAXXI, Macro, Palazzo delle Esposizioni and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts.
