A place to share an interest for anthropological quest

Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Fabrizio, I am an italian industrial designer and almost a year ago (after my graduation at the Polytechnic of Turin) I applied to Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne as an online student.

Since the beginning of my academic path I thought to develop my design skills in order to become an interior designer; but it is during the three years as a student in Turin that I realized that the interior design profession wouldn't fit for me since I was searching for a kind of design that permeate meaning over function or mere style.

Through the discipline of Design Anthropology I realized that [R]esearch and a theoretical background could provide the necessary knowledge to discover values and meaning that matter to people.

A process of design that express people's values is what the contemporary society need in order to develop a culture that emphasize and respect other cultures for what they are. Respect for differences is the goal since it is in the space of difference that we discover our real values and what really matter.

hope you will enjoy fabrizio
