snøhetta and VitrA turned part of the University of Milan into this tactile clay-heavy installation for Milan Design.

here’s a shot from the install that shows how they turned the space into something way more tactile than your usual exhibit.

This “stages of ceramic production” walkthrough feels like the rare sustainability exhibit that doesn’t read like a quest log full of buzzwords. Making people literally move through the messy/tactile parts of the process is way more convincing than a wall of infographics.

Also lol at turning a University of Milan space into basically a clay dungeon crawl for design week — in a good way. The [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) link thing feels kinda random here though unless it’s specifically about ceramics/circular materials.
