Turning Point Products is a project for the research, collection, exhibition and sale of materials of natural or recycled origins, born from the synergy between avant-garde technology and responsibility toward the environment.
 

The Turning Point Products review proposes itself as a reference point for those wishing to learn about the advantages offered by natural materials, at all levels of architectural design.
 

In 2007 the Cittadellarte Architecture Office inaugurated its activities with an in-depth research project into natural and recycled materials, which forms the basis of the exhibition Turning Point Products, inaugurated at the 10th edition of “Art at the Center of a Responsible Transformation of Society” (22-23 June 2007 – 1st May 2008).

Through the intrinsic creativity of art, Turning Point Products promotes the awareness and knowledge of materials from natural, renewable and recycled sources for architecture and eco-design, proposing a profound and radical change in the art of building to encourage the construction and requalification of an Architecture ethically, culturally and technically oriented toward making the territory, the city and the home into a living organism, and part of a broader, naturally balanced ecological system.

The natural architecture materials are exhibited in a logical order, from the structure of a building, its insulation, plant and finishes, up to its furniture. Some of the materials were chosen to create mini-structures that can be seen, touched, smelled and experienced in some way as to generate a strong sense of awareness in visitors to the exhibition.

These products present an environmental quality label and have been provided by a variety of companies.

The exhibition also includes a Recycled Supermarket, with its shelving and display stands recovered from a closed down supermarket, as an everyday response to environmental changes.

Along with the research activities and works to increase the awareness of eco-sustainable materials and products, the Turning Point Products review sets itself up as a point of reference for anyone wishing to get to know, understand and purchase natural architecture products.
