Location: Milan
Program: Design competition
Size: 10 sqm per module
Status: competition
The project’s objective is to build awareness of energy resources by bringing seemingly unapproachable ecologic discourse to everyday people and situations. In occasion of the Milan’s Public Design Festival, for five days a city square will become a theatre of environmental experimentation, informative seminars and creative workshops geared toward the peaceful occupation of a space that today is almost entirely monopolized by cars. The utilized constructive elements are multicolored plastic crates, recycled from the nearby outdoor fruit market. These commonplace objects are reappropriated as design and installation elements, testifying to the possibilities of creative recycling offered by environmentally conscious thinking.
