The book italiArchitettura (UTET edizioni) is part of a serie dedicated to italian architecture studios. This fourth volume deals with interiors and consists of more than threehundred pages, fourteen dedicated to the bastard store project of studiometrico.

[…] questa quarta uscita di italiArchitettura è dedicata agli interni, che rappresentano un capitolo consistente, forse uno dei più importanti, della produzione architettonica nazionale. In un Paese dove si costruisce poco e si ristruttura molto è infatti inevitabile che parte delle migliori energie progettuali si riversino nel recupero di spazi già realizzati.
– Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi

Yesterday the Massimo De Carlo Gallery presented ‘Karma’, the first solo show of the American artist Dan Colen. The installation Oh Shit – for the construction of which Colen has asked advise to the experienced team Karbaum / Atelier LC / studiometrico – is already rising discussion inside and outside Lambrate, the Milanese area where contemporary art and skateboarding sometimes bump into each others…
