The Ispaces are a territorial redevelopment project born and developed in Rossa, in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland. Among the planned initiatives are the construction of private residences, facilities dedicated to cultural activities, such as a library and a youth hostel, the Temple of Thought, and the Ispaces themselves. These Ispaces are sculptures made from local larch wood, distributed throughout the forests surrounding Rossa, and can be visited along an immersive nature trail. The eight structures are inspired by geometric shapes - sphere, cube, pyramid, and hourglass - sometimes combined to create more complex compositions. The Ispaces explore and apply the principles of spatial psychology, with the goal of evoking specific emotions and sensations. While common elements may be identified in the exploration experience, the project takes into account all psychological, behavioural, and social aspects.
Davide Macullo, a Swiss architect, worked with Mario Botta for 20 years before founding his own studio in 2000. With over 800 projects in 35 countries, his work is distinguished by an ecological approach and a focus on the connection between places and human emotions.
