THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT IS IN TRANSFORMATION - POLITICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY, CULTURALLY AND TECHNOLOGICALLY. ANYONE WANTING TO KNOW HOW DESIGN CAN FACILITATE OR EVEN ACCELERATE THIS CHANGE WOULD BE WELL ADVISED TO LOOK TO THE SOUTH, ESPECIALLY AT AFRICA, WHERE THE CHANGES ARE VERY EVIDENT.

IN NOVEMBER 2019 I DECIDED TO DRIVE MY CURATORIAL DESIGN PRACTICE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT [WORLD] FOCUSING ON THE ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATIONS TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.

I’M CONVINCED THAT THE CREATIVE AND PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY IS INDISPENSABLE.

BEFORE / AFTER

STARTING FROM A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH BASED ON THE MONTESSORI’S METHOD AND THE AGAZZI SISTERS THEORIES WE WILL GIVE LIVE TO MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF AUTONOMOUS AND RADICAL COMMUNITIES.  THE PROCESS DEVELOPS  CHILDREN’S UNIQUE AND CREATIVE LANGUAGE AND ALSO PUTS ART IN THE WIDER CONTEXT OF A GREATER EXPRESSION WHERE NATURE UNFOLDS AND PERPETUALLY TRANSFORMS ALL MATTER OF LIFE.

“IN THE WORLD THROUGH WHICH I TRAVEL, I AM EDLESSLY”

TOGETHER WITH PANGEA ASSOCIATION I WILL GOING TO DEVELOP ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING SYSTEMS FOR CHILDRENSBASED ON CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND FANTASY,FOCUSING ON AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH RELATED TO THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN ART, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. 

LECTURES

IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE LONG TERM RESULTS, THAT EMPOWER LOCAL COMMUNITIES ALLOWING THEM TO GAIN THE SKILLS TO AUTONOMOUSLY PURSUE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO DESIGN OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS FOCUSING ON TRAINING PROGRAMS AND WAYS FOR SHARING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. THIS COMPLEX OPERATION REQUIRES CAREFULLY COMBINING DESIGN WITH  LOCAL AND OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGIES.

COOPERATION MUST BE CAPABLE OF FINDING MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS BASED ON SYSTEMATIC PROCESSES, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON SCALABILITY. THIS IMPLIES FINDING SOLUTIONS THAT CONSIDER THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT OF OPERATION, THAT RELY ON INCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE ADAPTABLE TO THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT. THE FINAL GOAL OF ADAPTING A SCALABLE APPROACH, IS TO TRANSFORM AN INNOVATIVE IDEA INTO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROGRESS.
