TOURMIX is a decentralized and crowdsourced based logistics platform that optimize home deliveries by using existing commutes. Members of the social community can look for packages on the platform, and if they are going on a similar route, they can act as couriers. As a result, an additional journey of delivery is eliminated, thus making home deliveries CO2 neutral and providing for a sustainable delivery network.
SOcio is a robot gripper suited for collaborative robots (the so called cobots), a sub-category of industrial machines which did not only prove to increase productivity without replacing the human workers, but it also has the seconday benefit to expand this Human-Machine cooperations in many different sectors, even outside the industrial world, like Craftsmanship.
This project is a small but significant step to make technologies and small workers live harmoniously while preserving traditions.
Martamarcà is a project for the Santa Marta neighborhood in Venice, designed to spread the idea of the market as a public place where the meeting between citizens leads to greater conviviality and incen-tivizes a circular economy model, bringing objects back to life through bartering. This sense of partic-ipation is amplified during the set-up workshop, in which the structures of the event will be construct-ed, encouraging the relationship between the people involved.
My project is connected with people I know and met in person; they are unemployed, isolated, depressed, and deep in thoughts about the meaninglessness of their own lives. They don’t want to change their dirty clothes and can’t live in the fresh air. This group of people is looking deeply into the past but also pay a lot of attention to social networks. Unfortunately, most of the time, they read misinformation about the present, increasing the illusion of isolated ideas and dreams.
Protura is an open-platform to create and share regenerative polycultural strategies to collectively develop and manage rural and urban community farming initiatives. A botanical library linked to mapping, design and operational tools catalyzes both new and existing projects. It enables a collective digital web between practice and theory beyond physical borders. Protura helps weave local domestic and landscape habitat in sustainable symbiosis for thriving global diversity. # protura.xyz
Material Stories is a project to help us broaden our understanding of our built environment and its objects. How are they made, by whom, with what material? The project will combine research with publications (books, exhibitions, podcasts and more) to try to answer these questions.
ALAP ( Alternative Landscape Architectural Practice) is a series of experiments entangled in urban nature, searching for ways to cohabitate with the other-than-humans by creating spaces of biodiversity. We love exploring terms such as weed, vacant lot, unproductivity, lazy, queer...
The Medical Mushroom Garden is a different type of garden and is the first of its kind where young unemployed people are educated on how to grow medical mushrooms in domestic and controlled conditions, using the circular economy model. There will be training on the cultivation of Reishi, Shiitake, Lion's Beard, Maitake, Bukovka. The model is an incubator for mushrooms and it is applicable and replicable - the production can be very easily replicated and implemented in rural areas.
We have developed a project of an active sculpture, which, by improving the aesthetic quality of the space, also serves as a place to rest while implementing several pro-ecological activities. Sculpture placed in urban green areas will be a place where residents can relax, plants bloom, and in winter, when people don't use the benches, it will be a shelter for hedgehogs. The sculpture will be made of "green" concrete, which fights smog by breaking down dangerous nitrogen compounds from the air.
POMOPLA^2 is an innovative biocomposite that enhances tomato by-products of agri-food companies for both flexible and rigid packaging. Following the goals of Green Deal and the principles of circular economy, the concept was to replace fossil-based plastics (e.g., PP, PE, PET) currently used to pack fresh tomatoes with POMOPLA^2, a more sustainable solution coming from renewable and biodegradable feedstocks.
