Master Class with Stefano Marzano

Stefano Marzano | Architect and Designer | July 18 2022

Innovation: Unexpected Consequences | July 18 2022 | 5:30pm

The industrial revolution initiated an exponential acceleration of technological developments, societal transformations, geopolitical drivers and global economies.

Today we acknowledge that this exponential acceleration confronts the world with unprecedented challenges that demand for a reframing of our idea of progress, sustainability of our life, economies and ecosystem.

We all in the world need to act at all levels to revert many of the developments in progress, reframe the idea of a desirable future and respond to the urgency of climate change and scarce resources.

We need to improve innovation processes and adopt more preventive strategies for a safer and responsible sustainable future.
