07-p_acrobax

This is the load-bearing wall in bales, built by Bagstudio during a workshop in Rome, without interruption or counters, the longest ever made (34mt). It was designed to broaden the space of Acrobax and obtain a tea room, a library and the backstage of the concert area. To realize this project has been organized a workshop for a period of one week during which the structure was completed, which was then plastered and finished inside during the following weeks.
