natureartifice workshop

The Workshop offered the opportunity to activate a transversal observation lens between the natural and artificial dimension of contemporary and future reality, to generate a new taxonomy of the contemporary project. The condition of the continuous need for transformation, adaptation and metamorphosis of contemporary living and environmental systems arises as a central question.
