Athens Design Forum is pleased to present ROUTE-IN, a site-specific outdoor installation by Tbilisi-based Rooms Studio [est. 2007] commissioned for 5VIE Design Week. Hosted in the historic Milanese SIAM 1838 Courtyard, ROUTE-IN is a progression of Rooms Studio’s research into public space as a central axis of society.
Athens Design Forum advocates for design principles that amplify narratives interwoven with heritage and migration patterns. This collaboration crystallizes how the designers’ transformation of architectural prototypes creates a lasting dialogue between time, migration, and space. The pointed arch within the ROUTE-IN series of benches is an isolated and resilient fragment from architectural structures tied to devotion – spanning across Islamic, Orthodox, Georgian, Byzantine, and Ottoman religious spaces.
