Sense the Place - the making of Milan

The city mapped out on a 7x2-meter color table. Poles, roads, windows, plaster walls, doors, trains, buses, newsstands, trees, benches, trash cans, awnings. Each object has its own color, each city its own predominant color scheme. Students from NABA in Milan went searching for colors, snapping 800 Polaroid images. Other students from other schools around the world will repeat the experience of Sense the Place, a travelling study on a city's visual identity, curated by architect Luca Buttafava and industrial designer Alessandro Confalonieri.

These students can take notes and mark colors on the city streets using a special edition created for them by Moleskine. There is a QR code inside to follow the evolution of Sense the Place throughout the world.

I would love to have the city of Banaras/Varanasi participate in this most exciting project. If the co-ordinators of the project are interested then please contact me on my email navneet@kritigallery.com . this is also an interesting exercise for us as part of the art for banaras initiative and also for the unesco world heritage nominations.
