Aesthetics of Misery
OIKOS presents the exhibition Aesthetics of Misery (LʼEstetica della Miseria) in Palazzo Litta (Corso Magenta 24) during the Milan Design Week 2015. The exhibition is actually the result of a postgraduate's experimental research that took place at Milan's Polytechnic (Politecnico di Milano). The project was conducted by Andrea Branzi, co-founder of Domus Academy, and Michele De Lucchi, designer of the EXPO 2015 Zero pavilion, with the assistance of Francesca Balena Arista and Marco De Santi.
The exhibition presents 16 scenic design projects based on the concept of misery that originates from poverty. The students worked having as example the Rio's favelas or the 'i bassi' of Naples and developed their projects with an objective to represent such environments in decay and disuse with materials left to "age". The installation is a journey to decadence and insecurity as well as an exploration in a new concept of sustainable design through new ideas.
