space ink was founded in 1989 by Daniela Bertol and David Foell as a multidisciplinary laboratory. It embraces experimental projects integrating science, art, design and architecture, as well as theoretical works focusing on the transformation of architecture and its integration with digital space. The vision that technological advancements should establish continuity with the past --instead of creating a fracture-- has been expressed in architectural and educational projects, art installations, artwork, furniture and graphic design. The interest in sustainable architecture has inspired solar based design, such as the house at Sunset Farm: contemporary architectural vocabulary and materials re-propose design intention from early civilizations. The most recent project is Sky Spirals, a series of places devoted to sustainable design where the shaping of the landscape is based on solar and stellar alignments.

Furio Gerace born in Naples, lives and works in Rome, Italy. He holds a PhD in material science and a master in chemistry from the University of Rome, where he conducted research on electrodes and electrolytes for advanced batteries and other electrochemical devices --including technologies for battery and fuel cell in electric cars. In 1998 he worked on a computer simulation of electrodes performance for advanced batteries at Los Alamos National Labs. More recently he has been involved in IT as application developer, tecnical manager and application integrator. Furio's scientific / technological knowledge integrates with space ink philosophy, where design is the result of many disciplines perspectives and approaches. His specialization in material science and electrochemical devices contributes scientific knowledge to the work on sustainable design.
