The workshop, curated by Mario Lupano, Marco Navarra and Alessandro Rocca, is working this year on the theme BUILDING TEXTURE.     "Building Texture" explores the field where live together various design approaches and techniques, coming from fashion design, architecture and contemporary art and literature. The activity of building is framed in ateliers driven by professionals of the different branch of creative design. These labs are integrated by other teams which work with media and visual instruments – graphic and web design, photography, video making – exploiting the communication of the workshop. Meals will be designed and managed by an atelier of food design.     C'est nous qui avons fait ça Pablo Picasso Mimetic Pavilion (when the North Korean, secretly by NASA, arrived on the moon stayed in a shack of gender) In the human there is a natural impulse to look for similarities and correspondences with inventing the world.
