“ICE” was chosen by the Ponsi S.p.a
project for inclusion in its “Contempo-

Eco Design
Prof. Lucy Salamanca
2011
This project is for the development of
biodegradable packaging for piadine.
The research highlighted the lack of bio-

to recycle all packaging. Currently pack-
aging amounting to around 3000 kg of
plastic are dumped in landfill each year
which should be recycled.

Design 3
prof. Riccardo Blumer
2010
“The entropy of the universe” is the sub-

aspects of sunlight for the first time. A
camera oscura demonstrates that a light
beam can generate more images than
we see normally up to the limits of its
visibility.
The five spoke wheel demonstrate that
light is energy. This change of light to
energy is illustrated by the movement of
the wheel.
