Restoring Remo

In December 2018, Professor Remo Buti donated to the Department of Architecture (DIDA) of the University of Florence 169 architectural models conceived and built by students of the course in Furniture Design and Interior Architecture he taught from 1982 to 2002. After acquiring this collection, the Department decided to proceed with the restoration of all the models. So in this short and detailed documentary, Sara Caselli and Federico Cavallini meticulously film the various phases of the work entrusted to the architectural modelling laboratory of the DIDALABS system. Following the restorers’ work step by step, we explore the projects in this small scale, experiencing the space and this particular aspect of architectural storytelling as an important patrimony to be preserved in the digital age.
