The project is carried out in collaboration among Rintala Eggertsson Architects, Massimiliano Spadoni, Archem and Paolo Mestriner and it based its interest onto its simplicity and fast construction system.
The design consist of several modules which alternate their positions creating different sections, and it should be pointed out the tower which works as an urban icon, being illuminated during the night as if were a lighthouse.
Everything is made in wood according with the modular logic of the project.
Description of the project by the architects
The design process has been focused onto architectural qualities that could produce an economical affordable building. In order to produce an architecture that could be part of the local identity and connected to the urban landscape the main idea was to organize a workshop that could use human resources to build the structure and to connect this work with the local community.
The design concept was developed around the willingness to create a space that could be used and lived, an architecture that could be not just a landmark but a space that could transform the surroundings. Give to the visitors the chance to experience and live the primal elements of the architecture.
An international team of architects worked on this project, around the main idea to share experiences, cultures, and sharing the same idea of an artesanal way to produce architecture as a material expression of the culture.
We organize a workshop to show that is possible to realize an architecture in a short time (4 weeks) throughout the skills of the team and a low use of economical resources.Technical description.-
The structure is divided into three sections:
Preliminary area, entrance. This area represent the entrance and the start of future exhibitions.
Exhibition area, horizontal section. In this section, placed between the two main volumes, is an exhibition area where it's possible to organize events, exhibition, lectures and even a summer bar, an urban space at the disposal for the local community.
Sensorial space, tower. The tower with its ascensional connotation and morphological peculiarity works like an urban landmark for the city of Lissone, and during the night it’s illuminated creating a lantern effect. It’s a place where live sensorial experiences.
The structure is made by 12 modular wooden cubes 2.80x2.80meters. The entrance is formed by 2 modules, the exhibition space horizontal and the tower by 5 modules arranged vertically. Pillars and beams of the structural frame have section of 15x15cm. The building is entirely covered with lamellas, a non-continuous cladding that reveals the inside of MoVE, creating curiosity and a lantern effect instage lighting. For the illumination were used LED lighting with low energy consumption according to the eco-compatible philosophy.

Dagur Eggertsson was born in 1965.He is an architect with a professional background from a number of the most prominent offices in Oslo. After his professional degree from the Oslo School of Architecture in 1992, he started his collaboration with architect Vibeke Jenssen, as NOIS architects. In 1996 he finished a post-professional master’s degree at the Helsinki University of Technology, where he started experimentation with building full scale architectonic objects, under the supervision of Professor Juhani Pallasmaa.
Along with his professional practice, Eggertsson has taught architecture in Norway, Iceland and Sweden. He is currently a project examinator at the Oslo School of Architecture.
In 2007, Eggertsson started collaboration with architect Sami Rintala, which resulted in establishment of the office Rintala Eggertsson Architects. The office is based in Oslo and Bodø, Norway.
Sami Rintala was born in 1969.He is an architect and an artist, with a long merit list after finishing his architect studies in Helsinki Finland 1999. He established architect office Casagrande & Rintala 1998, which produced a series of acknowledged architectural installations around the world during the next five years until 2003. These works combine architecture with critical thinking of society, nature and the real tasks of an architect, all within a cross-over art field using space, light, materials and human body as tools of expression.
Rintala had his first wider recognition in 1999 with the project Landescape, three abandoned wooden barns were raised on 10 meter high.
In Venice Biennale 2000 Sixty Minute Man was realized; A ship sailed to Arsenal with a garden inside. The park was planted on sixty minutes of human waste from the city of Venice, becoming together with the old boat a three dimensional collage.
In 2008, Rintala started a new architect office with Icelandic architect Dagur Eggertsson, called Rintala Eggertsson Architects. The office is based in Oslo, South Norway and Bodø, North Norway.
Important part of Rintala’s work is teaching and lecturing in various art and architecture universities. Teaching takes place usually in form of workshops where the students often are challenged to participate the shaping of human environment on a realistic 1:1 situation.
Paolo Mestriner, got an architecture PhD in Milan Politecnico, and is professor of architectural composition and landscape design in Milan Politecnico, while he is also founder and director of the Master “Paesaggi straordinari” (extraordinarylandscapes). He founded Studio Azero firm in 2000, based in Brescia, near Milan. His realized projects have been awarded at national level, have been published on architectural books, catalogues and reviews. The design experience of the firm has a wide range and goes from the landcsape design to the interior design scale, with a particular focus on public spaces and infrastructural spaces. All projects are developed with great attention on the general coherence of the design up to the detail scale and with great attention on energy and environment sustainability.
