Descrizione dell'iniziativa
The project invites students to create a product-gadget that distinctively represents the spirit of Milanese hospitality, inspired by the design values promoted by Achille Castiglioni.
The activity, in collaboration with the association Ospitami, with the Fondazione Castiglioni and under the patronage of the School of Design, culminates with the award ceremony at the ADI Design Museum related to the premio PACDO (Premio Achille Castiglioni Design & Ospitalità).
The path, coordinated by Profs. Arquilla and Bolzan, encourages reflection on hospitality, local identity, and the social value of design, fostering critical thinking, effective communication, and rapid prototyping.
The project, open to all students of the School of Design, is designed to enhance the talent of young designers who will be called to rethink the guest experience by combining functionality and beauty according to the spirit of the great Italian design master.
Objectives
- Develop a critical reflection on themes of welcome, inclusion, and cultural identity
- Design an object/gadget emblematic of contemporary Milanese hospitality
- Tell the project in a short presentation video (max 30 seconds)
