LiPu Contemporary Art Gallery Exhibition
Rome, Italy, July-September 2008
For the 2009 Swimming and Diving World Championship in Rome, LipanjePuntin artecontemporanea presented MATT DIVE GOLD, featuring Antonio Pio Saracino’s Diver’s House for Australian Olympic gold medalist Matt Mitcham. Inspired by the Sydney Opera House and seashells, the reinforced-concrete home uses coral-like geometry, with fluid ramps and diving boards integrated into multiple levels, connecting to a pool that extends into the living space, blending sport and architecture.
