Izmo, in partnership with Politecnico di Torino, has organized the first edition of the International Winter School in Turin (Italy) which focuses on interior design and creative re-use. The course is targeted to students, graduates, professionals and, in general, anyone who is interested in the subject of ecological and creative design. The lectures (in English language) will be held by experts and professors of interior design and creative re-use of spaces, with the aim to provide insights as broad and multidisciplinary as possible. In addition, students will have the opportunity to experience firsthand methods of ecological and interactive design that will enable him or her to work creatively with waste materials and to approach to participatory design practices. The training offered will be further enhanced by a meeting with Controprogetto [Italy], UdA [Italy] and Truly Design [Italy], who as special-guests will show their projects and approaches to the topic. At the end of their lessons, participants will intervene effectively on a dismissed public bus, located in the Cecchi-Point courtyard: a multicultural hub of a neighborhood located in Turin, near Izmo’s office. Students will design and refurbish the bus, in order to create a new urban space: a play room for the children of the neighborhood, who usually get together at the Cecchi Point after school time.
