Atelier & Fab Learn

This week, I discussed with my students the idea of an Atelier and that of a Fab Learn. They made models of their ideal Atelier/Fab Learn. Their models are so creative and original that we are going to show them in an exhibition of the library of the University! Here a brief description of the […]

Celebration for Children’s Day

I had a great morning in the event that we organised to celebrate Children’s Day at UNAE with children of the area, some of my students and colleagues – drawing, playing with clay, making vertical gardens, and also making dolls!

D.School at Stanford!

The other day I had the change to visit the d.school at Stanford and I found some features of the architecture of the school particularly interesting: such as the wheels (on everything, even the couches!) that enable for the flexibility of the space or the rules build into the table.

Working at UNAE and Exploring Ecuador with Henry!

This past week I begun to work at UNAE. The week has been incredibly busy. UNAE functions in a very unique way, it really reminds me more of a Reggio-inspired school than of a traditional University. For example, I prepare the syllabus for my class with other four people who teach something similar in other disciplines. […]
