2023/24 WS In the year 2021, at least 579 people were killed due to the death penalty in the world. Unfortunately, the number is just a downward estimation owing to the lack of clear and transparent data from the majority of the countries that today still adopt capital punishment as a legal sentence. This book goes from number 1 to 579, each page is a number, each page is a dead person. Every executed has its own data, when known.
A project made in the course
Designing Under Siege
In recent decades, the exceptional character of the emergency seems to have been completely lost: the emergency no longer indicates an exceptional event, it has become the new normal. The course “Designing Under Siege” will address these issues and questions: What does it mean to design for emergency? What is an emergency today? What does it mean to design for a world in a perpetual state of emergency?
