Seed360

Seed è un seme, un’azione, una metodologia, una community che invita designer, architetti e ingegneri, urbanisti – insieme ad artisti, scienziati, filosofi, psicologi, economisti, accademici e imprenditori – a incontrarsi e confrontarsi attorno a uno stesso tavolo. Dal 25 al 28 settembre ti aspettiamo nella suggestiva cornice di S. Francesco al Prato, per vivere insieme una settimana ricca di incontri, dialoghi, installazioni, e confronto per discutere delle sfide e opportunità che ci attendono. Partecipare è semplice, tutti gli eventi sono gratuiti!
