The Educational Power of Bio-based Materials

Promoted by Materially in collaboration with TotalTool, Vivarium explores the theme of bio-based materials, posing them as fundamental ingredients to the discovery and progress of Design for the new generations.

The set-up, designed by Giulio Ceppi, will mainly host materials, but also prototypes and experimental products. A collection that will introduce research and materials that are fundamental in the creation of new learning tools, and innovative educational approaches aimed for children, and young designers of a very near future, organized in four macro-categories.

The talks will involve educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and designers and will be directed to the students of the various departments of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, as well as to those who will follow via streaming.
