\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Duilio Forte<\/strong>\u00a0artist of mixed Italian and Swedish origins, \u00a0graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan and is involved in research in\u00a0the realm of art, with particular attention to\u00a0spatial dimensions. The goal of his work is to represent the scenography of every day life, the epic universe in which humans move. The practical Swedish tradition and its careful attention towards nature and simplicity merge with the grandeur and complexity of Italian artistic and cultural history. Since his early years Duilio Forte lived the contrast between these two cultures as an incentive to find their perfect coexistence among the dimension of\u00a0space and time. For this reason on February 12, 2009 Duilio Forte launched the\u00a0ArkiZoic<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0movement to celebrate the 200 years since Darwin’s birth. The dominant artistic styles of the ArkiZoic<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>manifesto are\u00a0based on a central vital spirit, that vibrant breath, Anemos, which defines the uniqueness of our planet since 450 million years ago.
\nIn 2008 and 2010 Duilio Forte participates in the Venice Architectural “Biennale” with two of his works, Sleipnir Venexia and Sleipnir Convivalis Quintus. In 2010 he was nominated for the Iakov Chernikhov International Prize for young architects.<\/p>\n

AtelierFORTE\u00a0<\/strong>was established by Duilio on March 13 1998.
\nAtelierForte is a space in constant development and mutation where, all the projects and works\u00a0contribute to the definition of the\u00a0ArkiZoic<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0style, are born. The Atelier is the physical place where artistic and cultural streams come together and give light to creation. All the characters animate the space, as if playing a role in a film or a theatre play, with their own personal skills and\u00a0capabilities to complete the work.<\/p>\n

MATERIALS<\/strong> – AtelierFORTE utilizes two distinctive materials: wood and iron. Wood is mainly used in the\u00a0development of large architectural projects such as the Sleipnir series, the legendary eight-legged horse of\u00a0Odin that blends with the tradition of the Trojan horse, able to conquer fortresses and arsenals, and\u00a0to slip slightly over the lagoon of Venice and the lakes of the Swedish Bergslagen, while the iron dominates in the plastic sculpture. Binding these two materials generates works with very special features: light weighted, yet very resistant structures. Two ancient materials which contribute to the definition of a world projected into the future, with deep roots in its history and tradition.<\/p>\n

Norse Mythology<\/strong>
\nAtelierFORTE is inspired by Norse mythology for the need to connect with the past in order to look into the\u00a0future. In Nordic tradition the main subjects are animals and natural elements. Furthermore in its mythology, manual labor is considered magical and it is very respected.\u00a0For these reasons, the adherence to the ArkiZoic Manifesto is evident.\u00a0Sleipnir is one of the most important characters. Odin’s horse was born from the mighty\u00a0Sva\u00f0ilfari and the god Loki. Sleipnir has eight legs and it is the greatest horse ever. Its name\u00a0means “he, who slips quickly” and it is able to travel by sea, by land and through the other\u00a0worlds.\u00a0Duilio Forte considers the horse as a symbol of exploration, discovery and conquest. It is also a\u00a0meeting point between classical mythology and Norse mythology: Trojan horse and Odin horse\u00a0live in both Mediterranean and Scandinavian cultures.<\/p>\n

AtelierFORTE\u2019s activities<\/strong> are: art, academic teaching, architecture and design.
\nFor important customers like Missoni, Piazza Sempione, MODA IN, Fay, Mango, Milano Film Festival,\u00a0Diesel, AHEC, AtelierFORTE designed and realized scenographical installations and furniture in\u00a0Milan, New York and Paris.<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Duilio Forte collaborates with NABA, Nuova Accademia Belle Arti di Milano, as a\u00a0professor of materials technologies.
\nIn 2011 AtelierFORTE was invited to participate at MIAW2, the second edition of Milan\u00a0International Architectural Workshop, organized by Politecnico di Milano.
\nFrom 2003 AtelierFORTE organizes the summer course StugaProject<\/a> in the Swedish forests.\u00a0From 2010 there is another corse called Voyager<\/a>, inspired by cultural achievement travelling.\u00a0These experiences are reserved to students or young architect and designer.<\/p>\n
