Italy: Endemic Endogenous Design Explorations

Italy: Endemic & Endogenous Design Explorations

This 3-week course was set in North-West Italy, specifically around the Cinque Terre region, a unique natural environment contained between the Mediterranean Sea and the Apennine mountains where farmers for centuries have challenged the landscape to strive and cultivate their lands. The peculiarity of the place exposed students to the complex relationships between nature and people who domesticated steep cliffs to farm olive trees and grapevines thanks to human ingenuity and expert craftsmanship.
