In such a context, Jellyfish Barge represent a solution to provide agriculture in the urban environment
combining a food production facility with a vital public space.

We are exited to announce that we co-found with prof. Stefano Mancuso and the biologist Elisa Azzarello, Elisa Masi and Camilla Pandolfi: Pnat. Pnat is an emerging think tank of designers and biologists with the aim of merging plants, research and science. Mimicking patterns of natural processes lead to face emerging problems such as environmental changes and depletion of resources in a sustainable way. Plants account for 99% of world biomass and have been adapting to changing conditions for 450 million years. Studying their evolutionary processes suggests outstanding methodologies applicable in many fields from design to urbanism and from materials technology to resilient strategies. The work of Pnat covers the fields of sustainable architecture, bio design, education, urban ecology, material engineering.

Performing the Library at Bronx Museum NY. The exhibition displays the outcome of a workshop, entitled "Performing the Library," held in the Summer of 2013 at the Università Iuav di Venezia (IUAV) as an intensive 3-weeks university-level studio whose aim was to design one or more "library" spaces. A video about the workshop’s activities and process accompanies boards illustrating the students’ projects, and study models that contain objects belonging to members of their own families, which were used to establish spatial relationships as conceptual stage-sets for future buildings.The workshop established a relationship with the US Pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, visiting Sarah Sze's installation “Triple Point,”.

Start the workshop at IUAV "Performing the library", held by Sandro Marpillero (Columbia University) in collaboration with Professor Renato Bocchi (IUAV) , Valeria Burgio (Bronx Museum NY), Cristiana Favretto and Matteo Aimini .The topic of this workshop is the design of one or more “library” spaces, to be understood not in strictly typological terms nor as use-programs for a singular building, but as a means to access the specific environmental character of Marghera, emphasizing unconventional criteria for social gathering and intense relationships with the area’s social fabric. The goal is to stimulate new perceptions of the space and time of cultural production, diffusion, and consumption, promoting specific behaviors motivated by this unique urban landscape by tracing processes of industrialization/de-industrialization to re-cycle and re-design their resultant urban structure.

Cristiana Favretto has been selected for EU-PA, European Public Art project. It is a creative experiment in culture-led urban regeneration taking place in four European cities: London, Maribor, Prague and Jesolo.
The partner organisations from each city have joined forces to investigate the role of art and design within urban regeneration and prompt a dynamic circulation of new ideas and expertise across Europe. It is intended that the results will lead to more sustainable economic, social and environmental development. EU-PA is a two year cooperation project founded by the Programme Culture 2007 of the EU, in partnership with University of Arts London - Central Saint Martins College (London, UK), KIBLA- Association for Culture and Education (Maribor, SL), CIANT - International Centre for Art and New Technologies (Prague, CZ).

Studiomobile presenta all’interno della rassegna “Urban Display, descrivere e narrare la non città” , il filmato “Hasta la verdura siempre!Il vuoto urbano nella città di Barcellona” che ritrae il fenomeno sempre più presente della nascita di orti all’interno del tessuto interstiziale urbano di Barcellona con il distinguo tra “orti urbani” e “orti comunitari”. I primi, nati all’interno di un piano di riqualificazione ambientale, promossi dal comune di Barcellona con un sistema di fruizione controllata. I secondi, diffusi rapidamente nelle aree più impensabili della città, sono un chiaro intento di interazione da parte della popolazione, con il tessuto urbano e i suoi spazi vuoti.

La rivista Nemeton, organizzatrice dell’evento in collaborazione con Promoverde, propone il Symposium non solo come opportunità di ricognizione tecnologica, ma anche come momento di approfondimento culturale, per la diffusione delle ragioni che portano verso una diversa concezione del rapporto fra uomo e natura. Sono disponibili, gli atti del High Green Tech Symposium.
