Design and research interests
Da Re Studio’s goal is to ensure that design is purposeful, practical, effective and improves the well-being of society by designing meaning.
Recently the Studio’s interest has focused on design in times of crisis. The last project is called Alta Quanto, set in the city of Venice. It is a new way of preparing for and warning about unexpected and exceptional flooding.
The uncertainty that characterises times of crisis urges us to examine the current context, question the strategies and tools available to us, and improve them through design.
