flip it is a location-independent game collection that does not require many tools or materials. With flip it, the games can be played with everyday objects and interpreted in many ways. The games are explained with the help of flip books as moving pictures without language barriers. With flip it, people of different ages, financial means and backgrounds can be brought together and play together without having to understand the others language.
A collective habitat is proposed between cooperative members, building and territory. It is inserted in a rural area whose landscape value requires attention to integration into the landscape. The proposal is carried out through a series of pieces that connect with collective spaces responding to the topography of the place. The project is aware of the environmental crisis and pursues strategies to fight it, from construction to renewable energy generation.
With the certainty that the Arts must be at the service of the Communities, UMBILICUS is the opportunity to strengthen and enhance the best that stem from the CCIs, defending as its overarching objective, a powerful sustainable development for Territories, but more importantly, its People. And firmly raising this as our flag, this Cultural Producer, specialized in Cultural Mediation, creates and supports multiple synergies between different artistic languages and the places where each one blooms
Constantly being pushed towards the ever-extending periphery of the urban, the Roma communities in Europe have been victims of systemic racism, spatial exclusion, and political discrimination for generations. This project is an effort to change that by developing the spatial tools to help those marginalized communities to regain a sense of agency and ownership over the land they inhabit.
“Third landscapes” or neglected, semi-natural spaces are everywhere and can pose many problems: pollution, crime, illicit behavior, health and safety risks. Yet these abandoned landscapes can also serve as models for design, exemplifying regenerative and resilient systems to be studied, understood, respected, supported, and duplicated. Taking the example of Piazza d’Armi in Milan, we present a methodology for reappropriation, one that is attentive to the living, breathing nature of these spaces.
Egg lamp is inspired by the Soviet brand Estoplast’ s production which played a huge role in the Soviet Union. The lamp’ s technical solution enables the combination of several lamps to create light chains of various lengths. It has been made using the principles of slow design which is an anti-consumer culture movement to encourage repairing and lengthening the lifetime of products. The visual language is kept timeless so that the lamp would provide aesthetic value in the future as well.
I propose giving power plants back to nature. The power plant Monceau-sur-Sambre in Charleroi, Belgium. Its design is breathtaking. The result of this transformation will be an academic institution that will serve as a European botanical research centre that will help on preserving Europe's treasure, nature. This institution will help countries dealing with a major problem, barren lands. Nature will have invaded this retired oxygen-killing machine, invaded it with plants, flowers, and kids.
It is a remote control toy car building kit for children that replaces the need to buy several toy cars since the car can be built again and again. It can be used to build cars out of different food packages that would otherwise be thrown away. If a child builds the body of a car out of a used package, it provokes them to wash it and later recycle it.
With this project, a small artificial lake would be built. All interested inhabitants, but above the youngs, would be visiting it, in order to spend their free time in nature and learn the basics of sport fishing. The fishing society would also animate children with special needs, as well as disabled persons, who could also participate in these activities. In this way, young people would get away from computers and phones and get to know the benefits of nature.
The idea for the project called MoReCCU was born from the need to maximize resource efficiency. UP Catalyst reprocesses CO2 to produce carbon nanomaterials and graphite, using the electrolysis method with molten salt as an electrolyte. Renowned experts from the industry and academia joined forces to develop a revolutionary molten salt regeneration technology based on circular economy principles, significantly reducing waste and increasing the reuse of carbonate salt by up to 100 times.
