fioritura di Castelluccio di Norcia
Castelluccio di Norcia è più di un semplice piccolo borgo umbro: è un'emozione,un luogo magico dove uomo e natura si fondono e ritrovano la loro armonia.: Castelluccio di Norcia si trova nel cuore della Valnerina e all'interno del Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini. E' situato a quota 1452 metri ed a pochi chilometri (circa 28) da Norcia, in cima ad una piccola collina al centro di un vasto altopiano.

civita di bagnoregio
Sembrava destinata a scomparire e invece Civita di Bagnoregio, meglio nota come la città che muore, è esplosa come fenomeno turistico internazionale, manifestando un’inarrestabile vitalità. La piccola frazione di Bagnoregio, in provincia di Viterbo, conta una decina di abitanti e un giro di 800 mila visitatori che, ogni anno, attraversano il ponte pedonale, unico accesso. Civita di Bagnoregio, considerato uno dei Borghi più belli d’Italia, si trova al centro della Valle dei Calanchi, tra le due valli chiamate Fossato del Rio Torbido e Fossato del Rio Chiaro, che un tempo erano la via d’accesso che, dalla valle del Tevere, portavano fino al Lago di Bolsena.

Studio 10 designs illusory Escher-inspired interiors for guesthouse in China
Located by the Li River in Guilin, a prefecture city in the northeast of China's Guangxi region, the guesthouse is comprised of differently themed rooms, with two designed by Shenzhen-based Studio 10. These guest rooms are called Dream and Maze.
Inspired by the work of Dutch graphic artist Escher – known for his eye-tricking illustrations – the studio set out to create a "mysterious, infinite and impossible space", merging 2D and 3D elements to produce a series of optical illusions. The challenge was in keeping the balance between the practical need of a hotel suite and the illusionary, spatial effect to achieve,

In Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, Condominio Monti opens its doors and soul. Located in the Monti district, the new boutique hotel preserves the convivial atmosphere of the historic neighbourhood, famous for its picturesque alleys which oozes life during the day through its tiny craft shops and galleries, and by night through its trendy wineries and bars.

XXII Triennale di Milano
Broken Nature: Design Takes on Human Survival, un’indagine approfondita sui legami che uniscono gli uomini all’ambiente naturale, legami che nel corso degli anni sono stati profondamente compromessi, se non completamente distrutti. Come dichiara Paola Antonelli, curatrice dell’esposizione e Senior Curator del Dipartimento di Architettura e Design e direttrice del reparto Ricerca e Sviluppo al MoMA, "Il concetto di design ricostituente, che è al centro della XXII Triennale di Milano e della mostra tematica in particolare, risuona con forza e sensibilità nelle Partecipazioni Internazionali.”
“Ricostituente”, salvifico, catalizzatore di una serie di cambiamenti necessari per ricucire il legame che unisce l’uomo alla natura, il design riesce ad essere al centro della XXIIesima esposizione internazionale della Triennale senza farsi notare. La prima parte della mostra tematica che rappresenta il cuore del percorso espositivo inquadra il problema ambientale – “il più importante del nostro tempo, rispetto al quale tutti gli altri sono ancillari” secondo la curatrice Paola Antonelli – in una prospettiva ampia, quasi cosmica, con l’aiuto di immagini satellitari realizzate dalla NASA e dei lavori di alcuni artisti nei quali emerge chiaramente l’impatto dell’uomo sul pianeta. Da quell’altezza vertiginosa si ricade poi nella vita di tutti i giorni, con un centinaio di progetti selezionati tra quelli che negli ultimi trent’anni hanno saputo esercitare un impatto sulla società e alcune commissioni speciali affidate a designer o artisti.
