Fabrica, Benetton's Communication Research Center
Treviso, Italy
14-17 July 2008
Fabrica, the Benetton communication research center, continues its international workshop and lecture program. Cameron Sinclair, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, will be at the institute from July 14th to 17th to lead an intensive transdisciplinary workshop. In addition, Sinclair will give a public lecture on July 14th illustrating his philosophy and recent projects.
Environmental, Social, Relational, the title of this new program of research and education activities, is rooted in Fabrica’s heritage of cross-cultural creativity for social concern. Its precise definition however emerges directly from a recent debate between Fabrica’s researchers that had the specific objective to identify common interest platforms for future studies.
Environmental, social and relational themes are central to human ecology, an interdisciplinary field using holistic approaches in the search for harmony between people and their natural and created environments but mainly between people and their societies.
Along these lines Fabrica wants to investigate, experiment, catalyze, document and disseminate how contemporary communication, design and artistic expression can contribute to helping people solve problems and enhance human potential, within near and far environments.
The workshop series will bring to Fabrica international artists and designers that in common have the desire to apply creativity and innovation to social improvement.
