Morning: “Sampling the world we live in” by G. Innella
Good observations are like the ingredients for successful design recipes.
The importance of observing, perceiving, documenting, playing, exploring, organizing, filtering. Describing environment in different scales, different angles, different times.
Hierarchies, codes and contexts as keypoints of observation. Take those keypints, keep what you need, throw away all the rest, remix what’s left and design with it.

Afternoon: “How to make a booklet” by V. Carta
Seeing the world and looking for new spurs are the elements for the birth of new ideas. Every moment, place or situation can instantly suggest a thought. The thought takes true life only when it is blocked, traced, marked on a physical surface. The workshop will be divided in two parts.
The fist section will explain to participants the usefulness of carrying a notebook in every moment. Different examples of how to produce a booklet starting from an A4 sheet will be shown, with consideration to simple ground-rules of page layout.
In the second section participants will be provided with all the necessary material and, step by step, folding and cutting paper sheets, they will produce a personalised notebook.
