Have a coffee with the same object with which we send an email? carry behind in a single container the possibility of continuous connection and our favorite drink? be achieved everywhere and on all occasions of life by the objects we need and want easy how to be reached by a text? ...
roaming breaks because we live a period marked by a continuous movement given by moving for reasons of study, work, affection, and a continuous flow of information.
roaming breaks because you want to promote an idea of design that travels and moves with people or reaches them in a capillary way in houses, around the streets, on all occasions of life and relationship, or that contains the idea of movement in its possibilities of transformation and use multiple. and in moving each person carries, imagines or extends to "love objects". is the theme of the travel sculptures of brown munari, but also of electronic devices, personal objects, and much more on which the contest intends to investigate and reflect. if this is the aspect linked to the person, the nomadism is also meant in “report” to the person, that is, how this is achieved by the objects of feeling, journey, help to move (has how many things forgotten on this journey... think about disposable cameras). we see the rebirth of a capillary distribution, with apecar, rickshaws and other means that while emanating from the great distribution deny it to reappropriate the neighborhood, and the neighborhood, no longer the scattering place, is increasingly destination of a nomadic-stantial, of a person who travels and searches in the cities he attends for work, a place of affection.
Finally, roaming breaks because this design reflection on moving design starts from roma - where livingroome was born, where the Italian edition of Italian environment is held, and strategic heart for the market and culture of the Mediterranean - to reach the whole world.
the aim of reflecting on these imaginary and drawing up proposals on the subject which will have to be the design of:
- travel objects or for short-term travel, both technological, utility and "affection". objects that carry, regardless of where one is, to a place of memory, technological, digital and affective. objects for the person and for the place that will host it and that will host them.
alternatively:
-small sets for the shopping and capillary sale of objects for the journey (using basic means such as bicycle, scooter, apecar, electric car...), outside the logic of the gadget, for a new “microdistribution” of design, which in the sale of everyday objects is finding a good success.
The competition is aimed at professionals of the sector, such as designers, architects and engineers, and students of the faculties of architecture and engineering and national and international design schools.
