Can we conservate to innovate and can forgotten habits and methods become an intelligent present for our future?
For this project we look into how we dealt with food, technology, energy, cooperations and other topics in the past, and how those can inspire and transite into solutions for sensible and sustainable future living.
Program includes (see also links far below):
• a visit to German Design Graduates on show in Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin from 11 Oct. till 10 Nov. 2019 (if you can: go and listen to talks program of the German Design Graduates)
