Ceramic products go to university

May 13, 2003
Ceramic products go to university13/05/2003 - One of the seminars in the Master course in Design 2003 held by the Domus Academy of Milan is devoted to experimentation in ceramic products for use in architecture and design.
The course, opened on 28 April by Enzo Mularoni, Assopiastrelle director responsible for promotional and trade show activities, and by architects Hani Rashid and Massimo Iosa Ghini, will last until mid-June and will be attended by 45 students from 35 different countries.

The young architects will explore the concept of architectural shell applied to experimentation in ceramic products.

The initiative follows the architectural conference entitled "Involucri" [Shells] held at Cersaie 2002 and aims to provide further analysis of the concepts expressed by the speakers at the event: architects Shigeru Uchida (Japan), Hani Rashid (USA), Marcio Kogan and Isay Weinfeld (Brazil), and Italian designer Massimo Iosa Ghini.

A selection of the students' work will be presented at an exhibition at the next Cersaie, to be held in Bologna from 30 September to 5 October 2003.
