RHNH will present a special Limited Edition of the public sculpture project “Thinking Temple” by architect Davide Macullo
The “Thinking Temple” aspires to be the first sculpture-temple dedicated exclusively to humans’ ability to think. It is a place to sit, a place to stop even without thinking.
Wooden “Thinking Temple” started appearing in public spaces around the world in October 2023 to emphasize the belonging to humankind of all, indiscriminately, beyond the diversity of cultural, religious, geographic, climatic, political, and economic environments.
At this day, two scultures/temples of this series have appread in Switzerland: the first nearby Lugano in August 2023 and the second in the museum-village of Rossa in November of the same year.
Every Thinking Temple by Davide Macullo x RHNH will come in a different color gradient.
Every gradient is created by 5 types of blocks of different color and embroided pattern designed by the architect.

Davide began his journey as a boy in love with conceptual art, travel, study, and languages, unable to stay longer than a year in one place between Switzerland, Italy, and the US
Davide worked in 48 countries, following 200 projects in Mario Botta atelier and 500 in his own studio Davide Macullo Architects (inc. 2000). He received over 80 awards and architecture prizes and 300 international publications. He exhibited in art galleries and museums and gave lectures in Asia, Europe, and America
His research of the ideal space where humans can be comfortable on this planet has led him to change from seeking the space but the place: making each project a unique uniqueness
The year 2017 marks the founding of RossArte in Rossa, Canton Graubünden, CH: a spatial project encompassing every aspect of human activities to influence the destiny of an entire valley. Davide created there two of his most iconic projects: SWISSHOUSE Rossa, with an intervention by artist Daniel Buren, and ISPACES, a series of meditation pavilions living in the forest
