"If Art is the freedom to give new meaning to existing things, the Venice Biennale is the best context for presenting The New Matter for Architecture.

2 "If Art is the freedom to give new meaning to existing things, the Venice Biennale is the best context for presenting The New Matter for Architecture. Based on an ancient material, the glass, this new, high-tech covering transforms the surface into an ideal medium for the designer's freedom. The endless possibilities of customisation in subjects, sizes and finishes, as well as its technical and functional features, make it a pliable material, versatile to the point of falling outside the usual categories. Is it a material for Art or Architecture? It s a dilemma we leave to designers and their personal points of view. The New Matter for Architecture can be a compliment to art because it is an ideal medium for the expression of a vision. But it is also certainly a companion to architecture because these visions are brought to life in its functions, relationships, and implementations". Se l'arte è la libertà di dare nuovi significati alle cose esistenti, la Biennale di Venezia è il contesto migliore per presentare The New Matter for Architecture. Nato da un materiale antico, il vetro, questo nuovo rivestimento ad alto contenuto tecnologico, trasforma la superficie in un supporto ideale per la libertà del progettista. Le infinite possibilità di personalizzazione, nei soggetti, nei formati e nelle finiture, cosi come le prestazioni tecniche e funzionali, lo rendono materia plastica, versatile al punto da mettere in crisi le consuete categorie. Materia per l'arte o per l'architettura? Un dilemma che rilanciamo ai progettisti e ai loro personali punti di vista. The New Matter for Architecture può essere complice dell'arte perché è un supporto ideale per l'espressione di una visione. Ma è di certo altrettanto compagna dell'architettura perché queste visioni prendono vita nelle sue funzioni, relazioni, e percorsi. Roberto Ortolan Caterina Taschin CRYSTALEXE

3 THE COMPANY Crystalexe was founded in 2005 with the goal of transforming an ancient material, glass, into an innovative product with hi-tech and aesthetic features. Originator of the idea was Caterina Taschin, who drew inspiration from her roots in Venice, where glass has been the key material used in art and architecture since antiquity. After ten years of research and experimentation Crystalexe achieved its objective, resulting in The New Matter For Architecture, a material distinctive in its functionality that extends to any type of space or surface. The Crystalexe factory is located in the Ticino canton of Switzerland and was built respecting the environment and the surrounding area and considering the company vision that places value on human input and the technical training of its staff. The production process is completely ecological both as regards the materials utilised and the transfer of colours, which is performed using a system with low temperatures and having no environmental impact. crystalexe.ch
