a traveling master's program in 8 Italian cities to learn how to design and build light
the traveling master's program aims to train writers of light through direct experience of places.
a path that intertwines
travel and design, study and practice, theoretical and practical knowledge. light is guide and companion: physical, poetic and
functional matter, that is investigated by walking through cities, observing architectures, museums, squares, shops, religious places and everyday spaces.
each stop becomes an opportunity to read how light builds space and how space returns meaning to
light.
the writer of light is trained by traveling: philosophy, art, history, design, physics, photography, theater and virtual reality become tools of understanding and design. each concept is experienced live, with the eyes, with the hands, with listening.
