Marta invites us to design a new mosaic marble floor for the entrance atrium of her house in Via Lipari, Milan.
Lipari reveals itself as a link between the street name of the house and the volcanic island, a spatio-temporal doorway that allows two geographies to take place at the same time, in the same space.
We travel to the volcano. At the feet of the the mountain the former eruptions are layering one on top of each other. The solid stream of lava that runs from the pick of the volcano to the woods is the atrium of the landscape.
The floor of the house is transformed into a landscape, an open book of mosaic tiles. The lava flows along the slopes of the volcano generating a carpet that welcomes guests and invites them to discover the crater, the house. Finally the atrium is the only space in the apartment not being properly a room or being many rooms at the same time.
