Yesterday we have been very honoured to welcome the visit of Prof. Mario Antonio Arnaboldi, a well known Architect and Professor with a very special relationship with both COMVERT HQ and Bastard Bowl.
On archinfo.it is published an article with the details of the bastard bowl construction, illustrations and a general view of the COMVERT Headquarter project.
On domus web there is an article with the main project and a few pics.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE ONLY.
They used a shot of Daniel Cardone frontside flippin over the extension of the bowl, taken by Giuliano Berarducci the day after the Grand Opening (ONLYWOOD), I put here the original pic at a better resolution.

I just came back from Paris Photo 2008, a must go in the international photography scenario. All the main galleries and agencies worldwide were showing their images at the Carrousell du Louvre de Paris. And many interesting shows all around town, grand openings and whatnot. Guest of Honour was Japan, well portrayed with the work of the legendary Nobuyoshi Araki and many others.
Altough the three days at the Carroussell finished on Sunday November 16th, many exhibitions that were opened up in these days will stay up until January, some even ’til February. So if you happen to be in Paris in the next two months and you’re interested in photography, i suggest to give it a look.
Among the many things, i recommend “Exactitudes”; an interesting project that put a smile on my face. Rotterdam based photographer Arli Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek shot in the last 14 years trying to strike the heterogenous “dress codes” of the street. So they bless us with these 112 panels of “urban types”. Below is the panel titled “Skaters”, a little bit of an oldie, but still close to us. Funny watching the skate community “frozen” in 1997, so far away style-wise, but so close in memories. Besides Skaters, Rockers and Hipsters you can check’em all out at exactitudes.com.
On saturday afternoon long time skate friends from Ravenna paid a visit to us and tested the bastard bowl. They put the session on fire (forgetaboutit)… it was a pleasure!
We hope they come back uphere to skate as soon as the winter arrives.
Here Giorgio certifies the extension with a Mc Twist at full speed…alla vecchia maniera.
P.S. This video was taken from the security webcams… don’t blame on me, everybody was busy doing something else ;)
On Affiliate’s blog there is an interview with Giuliano Berarducci in the Media Spotlight area that lets the ones behind the camera step out and shine.
