Caramel gun equipped with extrusion cooling to generate three-dimensional decorations Study on the perceptual change of the sweetness of caramel according to different textures Rolling rotational molding system for hollow candies Rolling rotational molding system for hollow candies Multifunctional tool for caramel processing Caramel gun equipped with extrusion cooling to generate three-dimensional decorations Kit of pre-cut caramel sheets that become 3D once softened in the microwave Lollipops with varying roughness that investigate the relationship between shape and flavor Caramel pre-cut letters for decorations inspired by the famous Korean Dalgona biscuits Study on the perceptual change of the sweetness of caramel according to different textures Caramel shells obtained with ice molds. Disc sugar cube obtained by compression molding Nuts Candy: caramel nut is a candy with nuts Microwave mold system. Inspired by the thermoforming technique, they allow you to generate complex shapes starting from a caramel sheet Caramel pre-cut letters for decorations inspired by the famous Korean Dalgona biscuits Honeycomb caramel cake base designed to facilitate portioning

Sugar Factory

An experimentation with sugar, a material similar to plastic polymers but definitely tastier.

The students reinterpreted typical techniques of industrial production: rotational molding, thermoforming, extrusion, die-cutting ...
The result of this experimentation are 14 new ways to process and taste sugar..

Habitat

An investigation on the design possibilities generated by urban animals.

The students were assigned different species that live in the city with the aim of designing small systems that help the fauna by providing shelter, nourishment and interaction with human beings and  “their” spaces.

Materia Prima Seconda

The course investigated the design possibilities of the materials generated by waste.
Students, first identified the wasted material they want to work with.
Then they manipulated it developing completely new materials derived from the mixing, shredding and processing of it. Eggshells, food scraps, animal hair, shells waste... find new scenarios of use, highlighting their physical peculiarities and following a circular approach.

Airchitecture

Thin surfaces inflated with air are transformed into huge volumes, light and usable, capable of modulating, circumscribing or dividing spaces.
The students reproduced and reinterpreted iconic architectural elements: windows, façades, ceilings, corridors and walls.
