A Tribute to Michelucci: Fashion, Design and Photography Exhibition

The Accademia Italiana, international school of fashion and design, presents a tribute to Giovanni Michelucci with projects inspired by the works of the great master. Projects created by its young designers are the heart of a show organized with the City of Fiesole in honor of the work of the great architect. The exposition takes place at the Archaeological museum in Fiesole (sala Costantini) and will be open to the public until October 23.

Works of the students from the programs of Fashion design, Interior and Product Design, Graphic Design and Photography will be on display from October 1 to 23.

In the course of Fashion design two garments were designed, liberally inspired by the works of Giovanni Michelucci. These garments have already been presented to an international public during the year-end events in April 2011.

For the Interior and Product Design department projects were designed relative to the use of public spaces, a topic always dear to Michelucci, spaces of integration and interaction with the city. Man and nature are the key elements used by the great architect as inspiration to transform and model material into architecture.

The Graphic design works center on the nature theme, as a process of continual transformation for the elements of the city that must be molded, modified and finally, inhabited.
The computer renderings done in some of the panels with Cinema 4D demonstrate the strong attachment of Michelucci to Tuscany, to Giotto, to Florence, to the use of stone and iron in his architectural projects.

The Photography department participates with the projection of photos detailing important works done by the great master.
