A is for Apple - From Fruit to Cultural Landscape Program
BA Major Design Semester
2023/24 WS ADON is a creation that promotes biodiversity, it is not new knowledge that insects population are decreasing, and they play a fundamental role in the dynamics of the ecosystem. I aim with this to creat small shelters for the insects population and suggest more different plants that get along with apple trees to create a richer and more diverse field.
A project made in the course
A is for Apple - From Fruit to Cultural Landscape
Vinschgau controversies and design perspectives. This winter semester, I wanted to encourage a group of interested students to rethink design in the context of the social, ecological and agricultural controversies of our time. (neuer Absatz!) As part of the A is for Apple project, we have explored the history of the apple as food, commodity and cultural plant, from cultivation to sorting as well as its storage, packaging and marketing infrastructure. In our research, we have analysed the conflicts and effects of intensive apple farming on ecosystems, the cultural landscape and tourism.
