From IdeaWazaWiki

House of Dust is an architectural work built in 2013 in Rome, designed by the Italian architect Antonino Cardillo. The project is characterised by a combination of different elements: a horizontal division based on the golden ratio, coarse plaster walls and brown ceilings, arched doorways, walls and ceilings in a pale shade of pink, and a cylindrical ghostly white curtain.[1]

Background

The work was designed and built between September 2012 and March 2013 in a 100 m² apartment in the Rione Ludovisi of Rome.[1]

Architecture

The architect described this house as a conceptual celebration of dust. Its design draws inspiration from primordial caverns, Renaissance grottos, the nymphaeum of Rome’s Villa Doria Pamphili and the faint Liberty facades along Via Veneto. Furthermore, it explores the idea of buildings as instruments for light creation, emphasising the importance of opaque materials in architecture to capture and manipulate light.[2]

Reception

The work was featured in international lifestyle and architecture magazines.[3][1][4][5] It was also presented at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.[6] Nacho Alegre included it in a list of ten significant contemporary interior works from 2010 to 2015.[7] It was cited in Dezeen's selections of pink‑hued interiors and exposed‑plaster residential spaces.[8][9] International trend‑forecasting agencies included it in reports for several seasons from 2015 to 2019.[10][11][12][13] It was exhibited at the XXI Triennale di Milano (2016), where fifty architectural designs for Italian interiors were presented, ranging from the 1920s to the present day.[14] It was also featured in the 2021 and 2023 editions of the architecture festival Open House Roma.[15][16][17][18]
