OPERATION MILAN. POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE
24.10
Workshop curated by Marta Magagnini and Maria Loreta Pagnani
10:00–13:00Fondazione Francesco Somaini Scultore ETS We will start from the story of examples of visionary experiences of the 1970s, when architects designed impossible, infinite, mobile or playful cities. From these ideas, participants will imagine a utopian city starting from the real city, intervening directly on photographs and transforming them through drawing and collage; finally, they will create a 3D visualization with a pop-up postcard. The goal is to stimulate imaginative and critical thinking and experiment with the project not only as a "right" solution, but as a free creative act. Revolutionary. Activities with a contribution of €12Reservations via cultura@elpdesign.it
