Matrix Pizza
58, Via Costanza Bruno, Siracusa, Italy
The restaurant is
lodged in the ground floor of a 70's building, in the business district of the
city, beside the Archimedes' tomb in Syracuse (Italy).
Budget was really
low so client accepted to use very cheap materials, normally used in
construction site, and cover the surfaces of the bathroom with waterproof
painting.
Ceiling and
warehouse-wall are covered by fiberglass, usually used in garage’s canopy, and
bar is made just assembling metal painted boxes, that allow to hold the steel
shelf.
Pavement and
kitchen-wall were covered by plywood, used in shipyard, and supported by metal
structure.
The space is
divided in half by fiberglass wall. On one side the fast-food area, where
people can drink a beer while waiting the food that will eat at home. On the
other side the slow-food area where you can seat, take your time eating
pizzas and drinking wine.
The fiberglass wall,
totally opened from any side and transparent, is used as an informal display
for wine, ingredients and tools used by the restaurant, and as a wardrobe for
the client’s coats and bags. In the upside the grid-band hide the speakers for
the music and the air conditioning.
The design
emphasizes the social aspects of meeting for dining. Usually, tables and
chairs allow the clients to seat in closed groups, while interaction between
groups is not facilitated. So we decided to minimize the volume occupied by 1
single module/table (a cube 70x70x70 cm) and the distance between
modules, so people have to share the same table.
The main room is
illuminated by circular and linear standard neon used in garages.
The main windows
are totally opened, allowing to use the terrace in the summer, as an extension
of the restaurant.
The graphics
complement the simplicity of the space; they express and celebrate the variety and
richness of taste in the food served. All the ingredients used are mapped and
symbolized by colors and codes.
Their combinations
result in the different pizzas. A very precise and scientific looking matrix,
with these ingredients, covers the wall in the seating area. The pizzas are exhibited
and arranged according to the season of the year. It offers an abstract
overview of all the possibilities of choice.
On the wall next
to the entrance appears a real size zebra. The zebra is simply the other side
of the scientific information; it is colorless, simple in its appearance and it
refuses to suggest an explanation. It is simply standing there beautiful,
mysterious, surreal and inspiring endless thoughts and discussions between the customers
waiting for a table or some take-away food.
