IUAV Summer school ’10

IUAV Summer school ’10

In July 2010 I was teaching at IUAV Venice University within the summer workshops of architectural design that take place there every year. Thirty teachers for three weeks full-time follow the work of around two thousand students, setting up a group exhibition at the end; panel discussions and lectures accompany the laboratory activities.
The aim of the workshop I held was to produce a newspaper collecting the most relevant activities of the other 29 laboratories. It was edited by the students, published and distributed daily to all participants, feeding the debate within the school community. Working with students was a really amazing experience but I enjoyed also the previous project phase, when I designed the layout of the newspaper. Here is the link, where you can see all the thirteen issues: http://issuu.com/waveiuav. Here some pictures as well.

During the weeks of activities I organized three lectures inside the workshop: Francesco Franchi, Art director for IL — Intelligence in lifestyle, Il Sole 24 ORE;
Holger Jacobs, founder of the London based Graphic Design studio Mind Design; Salottobuono, Architecture Design studio.


The last day I managed to accompany the students to visit the print shop in order to assist the newspaper printing phases.
