Geometries of a match

Year after year, during the MDW, Cristina Celestino sets out to provide evocative perspectives on several iconic locations in the city of Milan, approaching the spaces on the whole, while reinterpreting the genius loci through the lens of a transdisciplinary approach.

On the occasion of MDW23, she revisits the historic Tennis Club Milano Bonacossa: designed by Giovanni Muzio in 1923 is counted among the iconic examples of modern gardens, unfolding as an indoor-outdoor space where the densely metaphysical atmosphere is pervaded by a classical and timeless language.

Clay Court Club originates from the relationship between the existing architecture and the most functional yet playful aspect of the game of tennis. The study of the connection between linear shapes and semicircles, one of Muzio’s favourite architectural themes, becomes the link between objects in the space and the role of materials - compositional and never decorative. To mark the occasion, a special Pop up restaurant will interact with the project creating a unique culinary experience, while tennis courts will be made available for press representatives for lessons or private matches for booking for the duration of the event, with the provision of the relevant equipment.
