»…we require each other in unexpected collaborations and combinations, in hot compost piles.«
Donna Haraway
In this spirit 12 teams of students of the Master in Eco-Social Design co-create contributions to social-ecological transformations together with diverse partners (NGOs, associations, coops, public institutions, citizen initiatives, etc).
The projects of this second semester are exhibited on the fourth floor of the building F, together with the works in Social Interaction Design. Get a preview here:
