projects

At the Fabbrica del Vapore, INTERDEPENDENCE takes the form of an international exhibition, bringing together projects by students from Politecnico di Milano and a selection of design universities worldwide. The exhibition showcases projects through visuals, prototypes and videos, and is further enriched by a diverse program of initiatives, including talks, workshops, performances, and networking activities.
