One way or another, this is my story

  Imagine a world without plastic. For my college seminar project I am working on the creation of a material that in the future could replace the single-use plastics present in our society and obviously I have been shocked with the amount of garbage that we as humans produce. Talking to my mom about her life when she was a child, she told me about how things were sold before and that plastic already existed but it was not so common, everything used to be sold in newspaper "cones", a kind of cones made of newspapers and so they sold everything that today comes in plastic bags.  Life used to be less comfortable, now we want everything immediately and we want it ready, like the vegetables that are sold cut into small pieces and wrapped in a thousand layers of plastic. Sometimes I think about the damage caused by the material but I see it impossible for people to stop consuming it, I try every day to reduce my consumption and even so I never manage to be free, everything has even

  Today I'll talk about my favorite class of the semester. In design the workshop class is the most important one, and it has 7 levels, each one more difficult than the other and includes all design practices and projects. To me it's one of the most challenging classes, but also one of the most funniest in almost 4 years.  Being the last year that I'm having a workshop, there's some kind of nostalgia and also some requirements, such as doing 2 simultaneous projects, which consist of doing research in future solutions based on design. It's been a tough year. All the work is in groups and I feel I have a wonderful one. We're almost done with the semester and we realized that we have grown up in everything we have learned.

As I noticed the subject of this blog, I immediately thought about Neri Oxman, an architect and designer who is israeli-american. Nowadays she is a teacher in MIT, a technology institute in Massachusetts. At this institute, she developed her investigation with the group Mediated Matter, and it's recognized for combining design, biology, tech, and ingenierie in the development of materials. Oxman developed a concept of material ecology, with the purpose of defining her work where she fusion ambient design and digital morphogenesis. Her work is often inspired by nature and biology and she uses modeling tools, 3D printing and fabrication techniques such as Silk Pavilion, which is a yarn made of silk worms in a nylon frame. Ocean Pavillion, a fabrication platform based on water who built chitosan structures. She made exhibits at the museum of modern art and the museum of science of Boston. She excels for her creations and she 's recognized for innovating in her techniques of fabri
