In every leaf a World

In this workshop, we will travel among images, geometries, and inventions. We have all touched the leaves of many trees, but have we ever looked at them with true attention? Starting from the observation of these natural elements, we will extract useful and inspiring information and imagine possible applications of these geometries in our lives. Macro, micro, nano - at every scale a world opens up.
