Design for Cultural Heritage at the University of Ferrara

A collaborative effort between the University of Ferrara's Industrial Product Design students, teachers, and librarians resulted in the 'Natura Naturata' exhibition, showcasing the university's tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This exhibition, held in April 2019 at the Chemistry and Life Sciences Library Santa Maria delle Grazie, integrated taught courses and research to create a unique blend of curatorial concepts, graphic-communicative design, and educational tools. The project aimed to convey the significance of library collections and the university's historical architecture to students, scholars, and citizens, while also providing students with specific skills for preparing bibliographic exhibitions.
