“Domus Academy was a bridge from one place to the next, and it was not always a sturdy one. Sometimes it was like walking over a deep crevice on one of those tiny swaying wooden numbers in a Harrison Ford movie. But it was a very good experience, very Italian. As they told us students: it was up to us what we wanted to get out of our year at Domus Academy, they weren’t babysitting, and they meant it. Visiting professors like Francesco Binfaré, Alberto Meda, Richard Sapper and more were par for the course. They talked passionately about their life, loves and work: even if you couldn’t understand them it didn’t seem to bother anyone! My course included student protests and the “cipollisti”, a laughable counter-proposal to the “bolidisti” movement created by a frenchman, a scottish guy and a spaniard. Domus Academy was a great introduction into Italian design culture: chaotic yet constructive, experimental and incredibly productive.”
