Hackathon FUTURE GLASS - III edition

Event organised by Università Iuav di Venezia e Università Ca\' Foscari Venezia

In collaboration with Fondazione Iuav, rehub e Anteferma

The FUTURE GLASS hackathon is an intensive residential laboratory in which students are called to interpret the relationship between glass and digital innovation. Material culture, history and digitalisation are increasingly interconnected and future designers have to be able to combine traditional knowledge with the propensity to innovation.
These are reflections on current and crucial issues for the future, especially in the Venetian context: how will glass be processed in the next future? How will digitalisation affect the way we design and use glass? What is the potential for glass design and craftsmanship in comparison with digital? So, what are the future challenges for glass sector?
