"House of Polpa, an edible structure about thirty metres long, resembles the house from Hansel and Gretel, made entirely of thousands of cans of Mutti Polpa."
"The connection between food and architecture runs deeper, suggesting new directions for design, as both involve processes of trying, tasting, and adjusting."
"In projects like Quisimangia, food and design literally share the same table, with waste being transformed into finishes for floors and walls."
House of Polpa, an installation at the University of Milan, is constructed from thousands of Mutti Polpa cans. This thirty-meter-long edible structure invites visitors to dismantle it and take the cans home for cooking. The project illustrates the playful relationship between design and food, emphasizing evolution through handling and repetition. It suggests that food and architecture can share a deeper connection, as seen in projects like Quisimangia, where waste is transformed into design elements, creating a continuous cycle of transformation.
