TANAT x Ranieri Lava Stone build Volcanic Landscape for EDIT Cult<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Landscape of Reflections marks the first collaboration between Mexico City<\/a>\u2013based architect Diego R. Borrell, founder of TANAT, and Ranieri Lava Stone, a company specializing in the transformation of volcanic rock<\/a>. Presented at EDIT Cult,\u00a0the project examines the relationship between geography, material processes, and cultural context within contemporary architectural practice.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The installation<\/a> is conceived as a volcanic stone landscape composed of sculptural<\/a> totemic elements and small-scale architectural forms. Developed during Borrell\u2019s research residency in Naples and Pompeii<\/a> in July 2025, the work brings together fragments drawn from his observations of the region\u2019s geological and urban conditions. These components reference Naples\u2019 layered histories, accumulated symbols, and natural features, translating them into a spatial composition that combines material presence with abstract interpretation.<\/p>\n

Craft, culture, and Geology Converge in Landscape of Reflections<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curated by BY Galer\u00eda de Arquitectura, Landscape of Reflections establishes a dialogue between Naples and Mexico City, two cities connected by their volcanic origins. The installation, designed by architectural studio<\/a> TANAT, reduces and reinterprets the scale of the city, the volcano, and the gulf, creating a compact environment in which material and symbolic elements coexist. At the conclusion of its exhibition period, the ensemble will be disassembled, with each piece becoming an independent element derived from the original unified setting.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ranieri Lava Stone, a specialist<\/a> in volcanic stone, plays an integral role in the project, contributing its technical knowledge and craftsmanship in fabrication. The collaboration positions the material not only as a medium but also as an active component of the design process, linking traditional Neapolitan artisanal techniques with contemporary experimentation.<\/p>\n
