On 25 September at 7.30 pm, the America's Cup Race Village, the epicentre of the competition that combines the broadcast of regattas with leisure and outreach activities, will showcase IED Barcelona projects related to the blue economy and sustainability at the event “I design also for the sea”.
This compendium of creative ideas and prototypes for service proposals, and communication campaigns, as well as interior and product design and visual arts projects, among others, will be presented as part of the conference programme organised by BlueTechPort, the Port of Barcelona’s blue economy innovation hub.
Specifically, IED Barcelona’s activity will feature the participation of Andrea Marchesi, Director of the School, together with alumnus Mina Barchi, who will present her project “Terrákos – Plastic Nostrum”, a system for filtering seawater contaminated by microplastics inspired by terracotta, live. The project was a finalist for the Stone and Wood Award 2023 and a winner of the ADI Medal for Opinion at the ADI Awards 2024.
IED Barcelona is the only design school present in this programme of 10 conferences on innovation, sustainability, biodiversity and design, which aim to bring the impact of the sea as a habitat, a resource and a space in itself closer to citizens.
Free admission.
