One year after GreenEnergyDesign, Interni returned to the Università degli Studi of Milan to produce a new, major exhibition on the concept of energy, seen as a symbolic resource of man, presented in the form of sustainable projects and inventions. A series of microarchitectures and experimental, temporary installations were set up in the evocative setting of the historic Ca' Granda of Milan, to stimulate reflection and debate on the theme of the use of energy resources, and to supply a definition for all those human and inventive energies that take concrete form in every creative design process. With this spirit, the designers invited by Interni to the Università degli Studi, the place par excellence of training of future human resources, worked on the energy metaphor with a group of companies and the fundamental contribution of the co-producers Enel and MINI, to create a spectacular event offered to the general public, full of constructive stimuli and ideas.
