"I like materials like Aluminum and Corian that can bend and flex, and offer performance, making the home cooler in the heat and dryer in the rain. It’s not just art, it’s the expression mixed with building science. There is also the opportunity to explore lush variation, intricacy and taking the lines and directing them with out the limitations of scale or format. I want to draw the lines wherever I want to... wherever they want to... lines can attract to release... like music.. or more importantly... the grandiose lines of nature are the ones we emulate."
Mario Romano is an artist specializing in architecture, design and digital fabrication. He is committed to advancing the language of complex geometries and manifesting them into the physical world. He blurrs the lines, from floor to roof, from wall to floor, by building facades that undulate like ocean waves and interior carved walls that blur into floors, calling his architecture a "Second Nature". Trained in construction methods, and having studied at UCLA university, he blends machines and computers to literally Print his design.
With an affinity for Nature’s forms, Mario has pioneered his own design-build systems incorporating customized digital tools, CNC machining technology with hassle-free construction techniques. He has designed and built over 50 million dollars worth of high-end residential projects from the ground up.
Mario literally sculpts his homes, sometimes standing across the street directing the building process. In one instance, he composed a facade to emulate the intricate weave of bird feathers. In another building envelope, he wrapped a home with monolithic white-metal ribbons. In one way, Mario is rocketing into the future, in another, he is returning to the organic. With Three more large project to come, each one will be unique, but like a snowflake, recognizable.
