Last September 1st was the closing day of the International Exposition at the Triennale di Milano: a 6-month exhibition of meaningful projects, products, systems and interfaces to answer some of nowadays big questions. How can designers, scientists, politicians and scholars help the citizens face the environment urgent issues in a constructive way? How can they stimulate the people to join their personal initiatives in a common long-term perspective? What does \u201crespecting the environment\u201d mean in an age of mass transfers, artificial intelligence and fast extinctions? Which strategies should be implemented to face the climate change? After the last months\u2019 big activism (\u201cGreta effect\u201d) the exhibition Broken Nature \u2013 curated by Paola Antonelli, curator of the New York MOMA design&architecture department and director of the research&development department \u2013 has the farsighted and urgent aim to encourage an inclusive approach to the issues that threaten life as a whole, to spread thankful vs. disheartened behaviors, to increase the respect towards our social and environmental systems promoting a sustainable perspective for future generations. \u00abDesigners and scientists\u2019 social responsibility implies that they should take a sort of Hippocratic Oath, as physicians do\u00bb Antonelli declares. \u00abIt is obvious that designers convert into daily objects and tools the scientists\u2019 discoveries. Even a single material can make a difference in this scenario, not just an aesthetic but an ethic one. Just think about the bioplastic obtained from vegetable polymers, or the animal-free organic leathers obtained from mushroom roots or the silk produced with protein-based yeast: super light, recyclable, compostable and long-lasting \u00bb. The next stage of Broken Nature will be disclosed soon, starting from MOMA. Info: brokennature.org.<\/p>\n
