WAP Art Space occupies the first and basement levels of the WAP Foundation building, designed by the Swiss architect Davide Macullo. It has 6 exhibition rooms of diverse size and a sunken patio over 700 square meters.
"A slice of life to share, a piece of the city as a gift to culture. WAP art space is an urban tree, its fruits the works on show. Mineral branches at a human scale punctuate the voids of the neighbourhood, precise frameless satellites, suspended in the city. The path is already the journey, from outside to inside, from inside to out. The mind stitches together the living spaces in a mnemonic tapestry that draws the first tree of an imaginary forest, of the ideal city. The cubes, calm and nomadic capture the life giving light. Architecture is the DNA of a place and its future. The
DNA of a tree in infinitely richer than that of man because it finds its sense of being without the need to move, in one precise place. From afar architecture is a sign, close up, a collection of many things, from within, a world. The urban scale is a condensed organism that connects itself to man and makes him the protagonist of his newly constructed existence, a new world. Nature teaches us to live sparingly, working on our unconscious, to restore with genuine unfiltered gestures, the strength of our roots. A work is meant to be experienced as a three dimensional constellation of stars, each one's luminosity determining the priorities in the choices of life. The presence of WAP Artspace completes an urban piece but it would be just as happy there alone, just as it is. Like a magic tree, it performs the ultimate goal of architecture, creating a comforting space for man."
