NANDA VIGO

BORN
LIVES&WORKS
1936, Milan, Italy

Architect and versatile artis, Nanda Vigo blended architecture, art, and design by experimenting with shapes, materials, and technology. The focus of her research is the space/light couple, which he theorised about in her Manifesto Cronotopico of 1964. In her creations, light is a plastic, structural element, though also a chromatic and visual one, which can be shaped to define the space and design original perspectives, both physical and perceptual.
