Design Collisions: Laura Traldi on Community-Driven Design at Cascina Cuccagna

Laura Traldi, journalist and curator, presents 'Design Collisions' at Cascina Cuccagna during Milan Design Week 2019. The exhibition showcases community-driven design projects as an antidote to political and social divisions. Inspired by conversations with Francesca Bria, former chief technology officer of Barcelona, and artist Marinella Senatore, Traldi highlights projects that foster dialogue and collective action. The show features ongoing initiatives in environment, health, hyperautomation, and Industry 4.0, emphasizing sustainability and humility. The installation, curated by Matteo Ragni Studio, uses a question-and-answer format to make concepts accessible. Traldi sees the exhibition as a physical representation of her journalistic work, aiming to become a recurring event. The show is part of 'De Rerum Natura ‒ Rinascimento' and ties into Leonardo da Vinci celebrations, advocating for a shift from individual to collective humanism.
