Laboratory abstract

LOOK CLOSER / T. Look good. Approach it is the invitation to recognize the identity of a space and manage its genesis, defining its formal articulation, its functional and fruitive aspects, its material-technological consistency, its sensorial qualities. With this objective the teachings provided in the Laboratory accompanied the cultural experience through three educational visits. The repertoire of materials shown at the Prada Foundation in Milan was analyzed through the production of photographic images, drawings and a space project generated by the "caricature" of a selected material. Visits to Milan Design Week and Villa Panza di Biumo (Varese) inspired students to 'look beyond' by designing an intimate place, an accessible wardrobe - walk-in closet - that could guard an individual's passions, conveying their uniqueness . From here comes 'Look closer / t', title of the 2019 Laboratory, and title of the book edited in all its parts by the editorial committee formed by the students themselves, under the supervision of the teaching staff.

The final training activity of the design studio concerns a small space project with a strong identity, linked to the intimacy of a user, whose profile is built by the students themselves. The proposed theme is a walk-in closet re-interpreted as an extrovert space, which may have an exhibition function, or an introverted space, to preserve and catalog personal objects. The repertoire of 18 projects of walk-in closet presents a collection of objects, comics, liquors, types of coffee, cereals, as well as secret memories, fragments, sports equipment, but also sex toys and disguises for drag queen. Thus an interesting photograph of the contemporary population ‘closely seen’ emerges – Look closer / t – a representation of the diversity of individuals, of the world of objects and equipment that surrounds them, of behaviors, of the space in which they move, of their habitat.
