29 social design projects aimed at new generations, to contrast climate change.
Casca la Terra? gathers the projects realized during the course Communication Design Lab I of the Polytechnic of Turin, focusing on the environmental crisis.
Climate change is here, now. It is no longer a problem that can be discussed in the near future: its consequences are manifested by ever deeper and more evident phenomena. Each project expresses a new ecological thought, to raise awareness about the impact of human activities on the planet: from food consumption to waste of water and natural resources; from pollution in the transport sector to light pollution; from microplastics in cosmetics to plastics in the oceans; from consumerism and fast fashion up to the disorders of the emotional sphere and eco-anxiety.
Through a disruptive and provocative tone of voice, each project offers content, applications, editorial products, and solutions suitable for children but also able to speak to adults, challenging the observer to question and change behavioral patterns. The result is a collection of proposals characterized by a distinctive visual language and deep methodological research: all these projects imagine alternatives and give a tangible design contribution to sustainable development and greater environmental equity.
