Places are poetic. They grow and change, influenced and inspired by the bodies inhabiting them.


Because of this, our work is interactive. It is made to be approached, touched, shaped by nature and the forces engaging with it. 
Actions transform our sculptures, triggering light, sound and echoes. Rain, wind, sunlight and each phenomena create a new landscape of performative responses.


In this way, we make the works, but they are completed by the forces they come into contact with. This creates a symbiosis between art and its environment.





	
	


STUDIO︎



Maetherea {Matter + Ethereal} 


Maetherea is a multidisciplinary practice based in London, founded in 2018 and directed by Cristina Morbi. The studio operates internationally at the intersection of landscape architecture and public art. It combines time-based design with natural and artificial phenomena to create spaces that evolve over time. The projects are guided by ecological principles, considering the relationships among all living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.


We draw inspiration from a multidisciplinary perspective, merging rituals with perception and interactive installations that respond to nature. These rituals are developed through community engagement processes, manifesting as events and performances that foster deeper connections to the space. In this way, we create performative environments where the landscape acts as a theatre and nature plays the role of the actor. By proposing the fourth dimension of time as a crucial element of the public realm, we design time-based iconic structures and art installations that encourage interaction between humans and nature and continuously adapt to new scenarios.


Our installations and landscape architectures serve as ecological and phenological devices, becoming tools for exploring and engaging with the environment. We believe that urban spaces and public art should not be viewed as a series of isolated objects but rather as a choreography of performances. In this way, we focus on the narrative, uncovering the story behind a place and discovering new and creative ways to celebrate it.

Cristina Morbi is a London-based artist, landscape and architectural designer, and researcher working on site-specific landscape architecture, environmental design and public art. 
Since 2012, she has been creating iconic landscapes and installations in the UK and abroad.


Exploring performative processes and phenology in landscape architecture, she founded Maetherea in 2018, a studio-manifesto that brings together design, art and research, creating performative landscapes and narratives. 

Morbi leads all projects from concept to construction, developing bespoke narratives, designs and material experiments. Her research explores matter as a performative agent that grows, changes and dissolves. She has forged the concept of ‘Design Phenology’(2019), where time becomes an instrument to explore and design the landscape: ‘Landscape architecture is not a sequence of objects but rather a choreography of performances.’


She is affiliated with universities in London and Milan, as a lecturer at The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), leading Architecture Unit 7 MEng, and from 2018 to 2023 she was Visiting Professor at Politecnico di Milano – School of Design and at London Metropolitan University – School of Art, Architecture and Design, leading MA Design for Change. Her work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Triennale di Milano, and CUBE London.&#38;nbsp;

Iron Reef project by Maetherea featured in Elle Decor Italia


We are delighted to announce that Maetherea, the project created by Cristina Morbi in 2018, has been featured in Elle Decor Italia in the article "Opera site-specific: acciaio e natura" (Site-specific work: steel and nature).


In this feature, Maetherea is presented as a practice positioned between landscape design and public art. The article highlights Morbi’s exploration of the interactions between material and landscape, creating dialogues in constant motion through a subtle yet clearly perceptible sensitivity. ‘Her works embody an original, ethereal, and imaginative vision, always remaining deeply rooted in context.

Each intervention delicately integrates into the landscape it seeks to narrate, offering a layered, unexpected story and reflecting the unique characteristics’ Ludovica Proietti.Read the full article on Elle Magazine

Iron Reef Installation featured on Dezeen

Maetherea Studio’s latest project, Iron Reef, has been featured on Dezeen.


Located along the River Yare in Norfolk, Iron Reef is an “amphibious” installation that emerges from the reedbeds, engaging directly with the dynamic landscape. The structure is composed of slender, red-toned iron rebars arranged in a curved, ascending formation.


Inspired by the local environment, the installation is designed to inhabit both land and water, adapting to the shifting tides of the site. Through its materiality and form, Iron Reef explores the relationship between industrial remnants and natural ecosystems, continuing Cristina Morbi’s ongoing research into performative and time-based landscape interventions.

Maetherea has been invited to participate in the Dubai Design Week with Urban Cyanotype project, Cristina Morbi’s new urban prototype vision.&#38;nbsp;






Urban Cyanotype explores the atmospheric alchemy of one of Dubai’s most abundant resources: sunlight. Known widely as Blueprint, cyanotype is a cameraless photographic process developed by Sir John Herschel in 1842 during his investigations into light. This technique uses light-sensitive papers exposed to sunlight to create distinctive Prussian blue prints.


The project emerges from an enquiry into the interdependence between natural forces and human intervention within the environment. Urban Cyanotype takes form as a modular bench, drawing inspiration from the traditional Dubai dhow. Merging wood and sea references, it shapes lightweight structures that compose a geometric landscape.


Four distinct iterations derived from a single module invite users to lie down, rest, or sit, offering a spatial choreography of movement and pause. Each bench features custom-made cyanotype prints on fabric, creating a poetic interplay of light and shadow. In this way, the installation becomes a living blueprint of Dubai’s intense solar energy, transforming ephemeral atmospheric conditions into tactile, inhabitable spaces.

Cristina Morbi’s new publication, Augmented territories on Nature/Artifice Dualism, is now online and available as open access.
Augmented Territories is a radical essay exploring the material dimension of technology, poetically examining the fundamental role of matter in shaping the technological landscapes of every era.



“Materia (matter), as being the passive role that mother (Mater) plays in conception.”— Cristina Morbi, Augmented Territories



The essay is included in DUALISM MANIFESTO. Design challenges for the XXI Century, edited by Giovanna Piccinno. This open-access book presents a speculative and often radical approach to design, bringing together experimental teaching and research outcomes collected during the six-year coordination of the Master of Science in Interior and Spatial Design at the Politecnico di Milano – School of Design, from 2016 to 2021.

Torre Maggese won an Honorable Mention in the Art On The Top international design award in collaboration with YAC&#38;nbsp;- Young Architect Competitions




Torre Maggese explores the concept of rest, the counterpart of action, and the forgotten side of growth. The art piece is archetypical, symbolising repose, pause and otium. It explores the relationship between art and agricultural land through the practice of fallow (Maggese in Italian). When Torre Maggese appears in a landscape, it means that the soil around it is resting. The artwork acts as a nourishing presence. It is an ephemeral architecture; it can be mounted, dismounted and moved to another field. An ‘ancient meadow’ of fodder crops (piante foraggere) will grow around Torre Maggese. People will disperse the seeds in the field around it, leaving a polyphite meadow as a trace of this seeding ritual. These practices replenish mineral nutrients, fix nitrogen and fertilise the soil.

Our latest installation for Supergau_festival Sundial is an astral geometry. It invites you to position your body in relationship to the movements of the Sun. Connecting the Land to the Sky, its shadows indicates the passage of time.. In this way, an ephemeral structure becomes a ‘naked-eye observatory’. Different species of heliotropic flowers in bloom create a vegetal clock, slowly tracking the sun’s path across the sky. This creates a symbiosis between art and its environment.

Sundial is a gesture in the landscape that works as a natural device, including the phenological observation of heliotropic characteristics of vegetal species. Different species of heliotropic flowers in bloom create a vegetal clock. Slowly tracking the sun’s path across the sky, these flowers are believed to use heliotropism to improve pollination, fertilisation, and seed development.

Cristina Morbi recently visited the Salzburg Botanical Garden as part of Maetherea’s ongoing collaboration with Universität Salzburg. The garden hosts a remarkable variety of pollinators and native alpine plants, and actively researches the effects of climate change on the phenology of alpine landscapes.


For our latest Austrian project, we worked closely with the Botanical Garden team to select native heliotropic species. Heliotropic flowers track the Sun’s motion across the sky from east to west, a movement driven by specialised motor cells in a flexible segment beneath the flower known as the pulvinus. These cells adjust turgor pressure to orient the bloom towards the light, embodying a dynamic interaction between plant and atmosphere.


By integrating these species, our design highlights the delicate choreography of light, growth, and seasonal change, deepening the dialogue between landscape architecture and living systems.

Arcana Nature Artifice: Collaboration with Emanuele Coccia



It has been an honour to collaborate with philosopher Emanuele Coccia on Arcana Nature Artifice, a special set of Major Arcana exploring the relationship between nature and artifice.


This work reinterprets the traditional Visconti-Sforza arcana set, originally designed by Bonifacio Bembo and Cicognara in 1451. Each Major Arcana has been transformed into a symbolic glossary addressing design themes for the 2021 interdisciplinary workshop at Politecnico di Milano, led by Professor Giovanna Piccinno, Elisa Cattaneo, and Emanuele Coccia.


In the spirit of the Dadaist cadavre exquis, Cristina Morbi created a card for each topic, using mixed media to translate symbolic meanings and allusions. Each card is accompanied by an aphorism written by Emanuele Coccia, inspired by emblem literature.


This project reflects Maetherea’s ongoing interest in experimental narratives and the fusion of art, philosophy, and design.

Inspired by the surrealist tradition born in Paris in 1925, Cadavre Exquis explored the idea of collective creation through a layered assembly of images and words — an exercise in appropriation and applied creativity. Rather than telling a single story, it revealed a stratified narrative, where each contribution remained unique yet interconnected.


The evening featured 5 tables, 5 talks, and 25 designers, coming together to generate unpredictable designs in real time. This inaugural symposium, themed Natural Technology and Digital Biodynamics, invited participants to reflect on how we shape nature in non-physical worlds and how biological and digital landscapes interlock.


Cristina Morbi presented the concept of the surrealist parlour and appropriation as a design process, bridging design, art, and architecture. Featured speakers included Kristina Chan (Lucid Dreams in Printed Landscapes), Gabriel Tanase (Ethereal to Pixels), Bruno Zamborlin (Hyperfurfaces), Diane Chappalley (Psychological Landscapes), and Alicia Hidalgo (Ethereal Non-Natura).

Climate Performance Workshop at Politecnico di Milano

For the second year, Markus Jatsch and Cristina Morbi collaborated with Professor Giovanna Piccinno on the interdisciplinary workshop at Politecnico di Milano, focusing on Landscape, Interior and Ephemeral Design.


Centred on the theme of Climate Performance, the workshop encouraged lateral thinking on climate change and innovative urban design solutions. It explored how environmental forces can become active design tools rather than constraints, prompting students to envision dynamic, adaptive spaces.


The teaching team included Professor Giovanna Piccinno (Interdisciplinary Workshop Coordinator), Markus Jatsch (Lead Visiting Professor), Cristina Morbi (Tutor Visiting Professor), Alice Zingales and Daniele Mazzinghi (Assistants), with student assistants Kristina Miskute and Gaia Brambilla. Critics included Luca Guerrini and Giulia Gerosa.

Climate Performance Workshop at Politecnico di Milano

During the Climate Performance Workshop at Politecnico di Milano, Cristina Morbi invited Giotto, an artist known for his synaesthetic improvisations, to translate students’ design work into live piano compositions.


The workshop focused on Climate Performance as a design approach that treats climate and environmental forces as active co-authors in shaping space. Rather than resisting change, this method embraces time, weather and transformation as central design elements.


By integrating sound and improvisation, the collaboration with Giotto offered a new sensory layer to understand and express these evolving landscapes.


This initiative reflects Maetherea’s commitment to experimental methodologies and interdisciplinary dialogue in design education.

Memory Bridge is conceived for Leicester City Council which invited
artists to develop a permanent commemorative public sculpture or artwork providing
a legacy for the 50th Anniversary of Ugandan Asian migration to Leicester.






“For us, this work does not represent a memorial, nor a monument.
Instead, our aim is to bridge the journey itself: historically, generationally,
and visually. Memory bridge is, at its core, a crossroads: between the past and
future. It intersects the existing path through an escalating series of
pillars. On one side, trees will be planted within them, on the other side
creeper species will grow up the rebars. A staircase will bridge these pillars
and allow people to walk up into the tree canopy, where it will level off into
a viewing platform.”

Re-Constructing and recording memories.


The form itself, the decision to use rebar, represents reconstruction
and rebirth. We want to create a work that is “becoming” and “rebuilding,”
symbolising the lives of those who left Uganda to rebuild their lives here in
the UK. The sculpture grows, shelters and elevates their story. It evolves and
involves all who pass through.

Botanical Architecture


Ginko Biloba is also referred to as “Autumn Gold” because it turns a
vibrant golden yellow during autumn, coinciding with Diwali. Facing west, the
platform will let people watch the sunset: a celebration of colour and the
promise of a new day. The other side will descend softly into the soil, rooting
and grounding us. This story is one of hardship, but also hope. The original
path, embedded with stories of the past, allows us to remember, acknowledge,
and commemorate. We imprint them into the path in the same way we do our
memories. In this way, they do not fade. But there is an intersection too. In
leaving one place, we arrive in another. Ending cannot escape beginnings.
Because this is also a story of home: of leaving one and to find another. This
50th anniversary is a chance to embrace all sides of the story, celebrating
Leicester’s rich history and diversity.

Performative. Memory. Environmental. Reconstruction. 


Clay field is a site-specific installation, precisely oriented on the riverside walk-off Longbridge in Farnham. It is linked to the fascinating history of Farnham and the tradition of pottery, continuing to the present day. It is a site-specific installation investigating the themes of matter, time, environment and performative landscape. Engaging with the environment around, its realisation involves the action of people and the community.

Pottery is one of the oldest human inventions. It is a Middle English word from Old French poterie, from potier ‘a potter’. Our research refers to this ancient craft, involving two elementary elements: Earth and Fire. Together they give shape to a vessel - a container -, able to host a third fundamental element to humans and humanity: Water.Our research investigates the action of pottery, expressed with the archetypical shape of cups. Cups are objects ready to be filled with something, they symbolise emotion. Through our installation, we want to give shape to a collective emotional act, an offering to the place. Our role is to design and realise it, but also to choreograph a communal artistic action in order to produce a poetic structure/artwork.

Performative. Hygroscopic. Environmental. Reconstruction. 


Our Masterplan proposal for an old Carteria (Paper Factory) in the centre of Italy. Exploring the hygroscopic properties of the paper, the fibres of the landscape absorbs water and transforms it in a neo productive landscape. An Arboretum appears as a centre piece of the industrial landscape. A timeless reference to the Hortus Conclusus, and the Orchard Cloisters . A sentimental relationship with the Reno river design the hydrophily landscape on the north reconnecting the river with the industrial heritage
