In un momento storico in cui il Mondo e il Design sono concentrati su riflessioni attorno ai temi dominanti della sostenbilità, dell’energia e della glbalizzazione, Domus Academy, con i suoi studenti internazionali, presenti e passati, investiga il tema della bellezza, come strumento di cambiamento e innovazione. Le riflessioni degli studenti diventano la materia di una infografica che ne restituisce i valori riccorenti e la relazione con la dimensione locale, in una sintesi allo stesso tempo critica e di ispirazione .

In a time in which World and Design are concentrated on reflections on the major issues of sustainability, energy and globalization Domus Academy’s international students and Alumni wonder about the courage and the innocence needed to measure themselves with a so sublime and yet so present pursuit as the Search for Beauty. Received quotes are ingredients of/for a graphic representation, that synthesize emerging terms and how them are related to the geographical origin of thoughts, showing how peculiarities of local culture impacts on personal interpretation of beauty. The panel has been on show at That’s Design 2009, in the occasion of Salone del Mobile.
