Linking Minds installation in the Palazzo Litta, made from 300 pairs of blue jeans.
The pavilion at the historic Palazzo Litta, created by New York-based office Diller Scofidio+ Renfro, features a canopy out of 300 pairs of jeans.
Deploying the jeans as a ready-made, intentionally mis-using and translating them from the context of the human body into an architectural module. The design exploits the implicit structural logic of the jeans – connecting them waist-to-waist and cuff-to-cuff – to create a tensile, catenary diagrid that spans the open space of the courtyard.
