Italian Design Day 2020

Following the theme of #IDD2020, architects @gianniveneziano and @lucianadivirgilio take ownership of representing #italiandesign #designitaliano and involve students in the project "Signs for Food Future: design as nourishment for better future". Food and design: what do they have in common? Can we re-design the course of our path on the planet? How do hardships reinvent humankind? These are all questions we must inevitably face during an unprecedented era. We will try to answer these and many others, together with Gianni Veneziano and Luciana Di Virgilio (Veneziano+Team), representatives from the design world in the midst of molting, settling into its brand new skin. Innovative and progressive. By aiming at sustainability, saving the planet, re-designing, and re-creating our future, designers start from the essence of life: food. Nourishment for us and our planet. Re-invented in new forms of lightness, beauty, practicality, essence, future. This and much more will be found
