Urban Matter(s)
Material reduction for a lighter cityMilano Design Week - From 6 to 12 june 2022 - Superstudio Più, Via Tortona 27 - Milan
Urban Matter(s) is aimed at pushing further the discussion about our impact on the environment and our health by also providing some real answers to the main issues of our time: the climate change, the air quality of our spaces and the overproduction of waste.
Four thematic areas
Four thematic areas are defined where Materially, together with its partners and material manufacturers, will cover virtuous stories, actions and approaches in designing and production processes that pave the way towards a more human- and community-friendly future:
- Carbon Revolution: reduce, stem, break down
- Breathing Quality: Protect, filter, purify
- Resourceful Waste limit, rethink, transform
- City Skin: Change, update, dress, refine
The exhibition will also promote a series of cultural and designing insights that will foster dialogues and talks between experts, companies, designers and institutions mutually involved in the research and development of solutions in the context of the specific area.
The talks will be hold both in presence and online.
Circularity and the concept of “reduction” as a virtuous action are also actively supported by Materially through the use (and post-use) of all the elements used for the exhibition layout. We guarantee recycling and reuse of all the objects, furnishings and materials on display, providing them with a second life and avoiding their disposal in landfills.
