The Project

A list of opposites adjectives, some blogs, a multidisciplinary exploration of concepts to decline in people and things, constantly referring to material culture and history, in order to create a network of intercultural relationship.

This is what they have tried to make the students of the master's degree in eco-design of the Politecnico di Torino, led by Professor Vittorio Marchis, within the course Hystory of Material Culture.
