TANAT x Ranieri Lava Stone construct Volcanic Panorama for EDIT Cult
Panorama of Reflections marks the primary collaboration between Mexico Metropolis–based mostly architect Diego R. Borrell, founding father of TANAT, and Ranieri Lava Stone, an organization specializing within the transformation of volcanic rock. Offered at EDIT Cult, the undertaking examines the connection between geography, materials processes, and cultural context inside up to date architectural apply.
The set up is conceived as a volcanic stone panorama composed of sculptural totemic parts and small-scale architectural kinds. Developed throughout Borrell’s analysis residency in Naples and Pompeii in July 2025, the work brings collectively fragments drawn from his observations of the area’s geological and concrete situations. These elements reference Naples’ layered histories, gathered symbols, and pure options, translating them right into a spatial composition that mixes materials presence with summary interpretation.

Craft, tradition, and Geology Converge in Panorama of Reflections
Curated by BY Galería de Arquitectura, Panorama of Reflections establishes a dialogue between Naples and Mexico Metropolis, two cities linked by their volcanic origins. The set up, designed by architectural studio TANAT, reduces and reinterprets the size of the town, the volcano, and the gulf, making a compact setting wherein materials and symbolic parts coexist. On the conclusion of its exhibition interval, the ensemble will probably be disassembled, with every bit turning into an impartial factor derived from the unique unified setting.
Ranieri Lava Stone, a specialist in volcanic stone, performs an integral position within the undertaking, contributing its technical information and craftsmanship in fabrication. The collaboration positions the fabric not solely as a medium but additionally as an energetic part of the design course of, linking conventional Neapolitan artisanal methods with up to date experimentation.
