E’ il marchio “Made in jail”, capi d’abbigliamento con l’ormai famoso logo delle “tacche segnate”, prodotto da una cooperativa formata, per la maggior parte, da ex-detenuti. Incuriosito dal marchio e pensando che ci fosse una storia interessante dietro, sono andato ad intervistare il presidente della Cooperativa stessa, Silvio, che mi riceve vicino al suo banco di vendita, in piazza Navona.

UN Refugees Agency. Statistiche - UNHCR. I-BEAM DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE. The Pallet House project by I-Beam Design, was initially conceived as a transitional shelter for the refugees returning to Kosovo after the war. These people needed an immediate alternative to the typical tent solution that could potentially transform into a new permanent home over time, even without access to sophisticated tools and materials. It has since become our aim to also develop the project as a more permanent housing solution to serve not only refugees in disaster stricken areas but also as a modular, prefabricated solution to affordable housing everywhere that can improve people's lives, the environment, society and even inspire greater diplomacy among the various cultures of the world.
The Pallet House is an inexpensive, efficient and easily realizable solution to the problem of housing people displaced by natural disaster, plagues, famine, political and economic strife or war. The Pallet House is made of wooden shipping pallets. Photos by Peter Miller. Design e Ospitalità: nuovi scenari e modelli/concept per strutture ricettive di nuova concezione.

Life3 : Modular Temporary Housing System. Modular homes are a perfect solution in remote or rural areas where conventional construction may not be possible, such as camping areas, worksites, or areas where natural disasters hit.
Based on that kind of scenario, Tamer designed Life3, a modular temporary housing system. The main objective of Life3 is to create a low cost and easy to mount personal living space. The structure of this building is formed by symmetrical and identical modules. Life3 offers its users the ability to create their own private space by combining those modules into different shapes. It is easy to create cozy and friendly temporary house to replace theirs Designer : Tamer Nakisci Click the image for bigger view. m7red Inundation! "We started working on the game in 2000 after some minor floods hit Buenos Aires," explains Corbalan, who, along with Torroja collaborated with Gustavo Dieguez, Lucas Gilardi, and Daniel Goldaracena.
"A few months later, a major flood unleashed a political-technocratic debate in the city. " After consulting advisors ranging from environmental specialists to conceptual artists, the collective--then working under the name m777--created inundacion! Inesperadas posibilidades urbanas para Buenos Aires (flood! Unexpected urban possibilities for Buenos Aires), 2000-2002, a board game in which players respond to a disaster scenario and sometimes even anticipate actual events. "In April 2003, we were playing a session of inundacion! How does the game work? However lifelike its scenarios can sometimes be, inundacion! "We prefer to write scripts instead of designing buildings for catastrophes because they are high-exposure, interactive scenarios for urban actors," says Corbalan.
