2000 Watt Living is now open at the Fabbrica del Vapore. With its focus on sustainable design issues at many scales and showing the research process, the exhibit has been excitedly received.
2000 Watt Living will be exhibited at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, Italy from April 24-30, and at Making Modern at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from June 16 to July 25.
The GFRY Studio is supported in part by a generous grant from the Motorola Foundation.
Projects in the GFRY Design Studio attempt to develop the desire for more sustainable behavior, imagining an inspiring rhetoric through objects for new ways of living. New behaviors arrange themselves around these re-imagined lifestyles. The "2000 Watt Living" initiative imagines attractive new ways of using one sixth of the energy used by the average American. Aiming toward this goal, GFRY students have designed objects and urban systems that either reduce our energy consumption or generate their own electricity.
a great initiative! keep up the great effort.
