🍏 One year ago we opened the program BrightCityscapes at @faber.timisoara in collaboration with @upt.campus.creativ with the exhibition “Mirroring the Ecosystem”. Interested in what design is in Timisoara and which kind of economy design produces, we started opening the closed doors of local factories bringing together data-driven research, object collections, manufacturing components, resources and photographic documentation. Mundane objects of different function, form and substance, were borrowed from companies at their manufacturing level. Photographs shared views to inaccessible spaces like factory floors, where workers, machines and various infrastructures are in operation 24/7. Information graphics contextualised the most relevant assets of the local economy in relation to its turnover, employees, distribution, and linking its main companies to the large import-export network that starts, crosses or ends in the metropolitan area of the city. As the concept of mirroring in social science is an unconscious behaviour of imitation from one being to another, the exhibition can be read as a reflection board, an inventory and a tangible interconnection of skills, data, places, technologies, and products. As a whole, the exhibition reflects on the state of design in the city and its role as invisible or visible discipline fundamental for the local economy in connection to global supplies or demands. The entire installation was produced within the local industrial hubs of the city. The exhibition set reconsidered the traditional furniture of factory assembly lines in collaboration with Flex and was great fun to design !!! I had the pleasure to curate the exhibition with a fantastic team @oanasimionescu (Director FABER), @loredadada (UPT) - the exhibition production with @anabella.gaby @schick.bianca - the production of Karola Kalapati, Mihai Moldovan, @cristina.potra , PlanZERO - graphic design by @federicosantarini @k______s_____ - Research by @norbert.petrovici (coordination), Vlad Alexe (data science), Vlad Bejinariu (history), Ágota Ábrán, Andrei Herța, Macrina Moldovan (organisational ethnography) - Photo reportage @mariusvasile28 @2023.timisoara

Last Friday we finished building up the first Studio Technogeographies exhibition, in collaboration with @z33be in Hasselt, Belgium. “Fields of Industry” combines student works that reflect a variety of scales of observation and responses to industries that range from those attune to our own bodies, to those of global resource distribution networks, softwares, and even to the more invisible or seemingly undetectable systems they control. Approaching the space of the museum’s exhibition rooms as a blank three-dimensional canvas, a dedicated team of students and tutors developed a multidimensional mapping of the experiments and design outcomes produced within the pedagogical framework of the Studio Technogeographies Semester A, 2023-2024. The resulting exhibition and collective publication, “Fields of Industry,” feature artefacts of individual material, visual, and time based student actions that have been developed by @weronikagrc @e___l_in Jasmine Flamant, Franka de Gorter, @anwyn.howarth DaryaFeigin, Robyn Sontag, Hyunjoo Lee, Luka Anneveldt, @legitasianboyfriend Saeneul Song, Yarina Fedorova, Valerio Santarsenio, @____________mayu and Seojun Yun.

Amsterdam Friends 🥂 Join us at Inizi Continui on Wednesday 27 at 18.00 ~~ A series of events around the understanding of design as a practice of continuous interrelations. For this occasion, Tellurico Design Studio @tellurico , led by designer, sculptor, and craftsman Francesco Pace, will explore the relationship between craftsmanship and the environment through a presentation and a performance in which he will sculpt a wooden totem. Following that, designer and researcher Roberta di Cosmo @robertadicosmo will look at the pandemic affecting olive trees in the Mediterranean region, using design as a tool to explore the flavors, scents, and gestures associated with olive trees, olives and olive oil through a presentation and a culinary performance. The event will be in English language, free entrance with reservation here https://iicamsterdam.esteri.it/it/gli_eventi/calendario/inizi-continui/ Organised with @studio_ossidiana At @iicamsterdam Graphic Design @irenestracuzzi 🍀

💥🌏💥The Atlas of Distances exhibition explores the qualitative and quantitative nature of ‘distance’ through the disciplines of design and architecture. By interpreting diverse facets of distance in both material and immaterial systems through maps, drawings, artefacts, texts, personal narratives, and bodies, it brings contemporary discourses of extraction, weather, and industrial cycles closer. The atlas functions as a pedagogical tool for expanding, organising, and connecting multimedia information concerning the relationship between ‘distance’ and living environments.  The exhibition is the culmination of an educational collaboration that brought together students from three architecture and design departments at three different institutions. A workshop held in May in Timișoara facilitated an exchange of pedagogical methods. Students initiated projects through a series of shared exercises inspired by the concept of the atlas, focusing on common subjects that explored the various meanings of distance: technologies, infrastructures, climates, communities, and knowledge. Following a subsequent open call, nine projects were selected for further development and exhibition. Additionally, an extensive collection of student projects will be presented in poster format allowing visitors to explore the full breadth of this collaboration.

Turn Signals—Design is not a Dashboard ~ an exhibition that explores the collaborative capacities of design to transcend manufacturing conventions and to ignite a transformative trajectory for Timisoara’s creative ecosystem.  Since Romania’s integration into the European Union, its manufacturing sector has surged. Simultaneously, the global manufacturing landscape has undergone a profound shift due to rapid digitalisation and global supply chain integration. Innovation has become pivotal for the country. The needed expertise is evident throughout Timisoara’s industrial parks, specialised labour, technical universities, and engineering excellence. Yet, design’s potential often remains untapped and incidental, concealed within academia, corporate IP, mechanics, tech, and profits—much like the discreet turn signal indicators on vehicles, manufactured in both local and multinational automotive plants in Timisoara. These indicators, intricately woven into engineering and discreetly nestled onto dashboards, exemplify design’s confinement to mechanics and technological complexities. Demonstrating that design has a wider reach, the Turn Signals exhibition features multidisciplinary design practitioners from Romania and beyond having collaborated with local researchers on projects that bridge global and local perspectives, revealing the city’s products and resources, and connecting diverse places, people, and urgencies across various scales. Anchored in a commissioned report that explores Timisoara’s historical and contemporary economic and geographical context, Turn Signals employs different design media, storytelling, and lexicons to dislocate hidden narratives and untapped potential within Timisoara.
