Episode Synopsis "When Design Meets Children"

From the Libri Illeggibili to the Scatole designed with Giovanni Belgrano, from the 16 animali to Il posto dei giochi, Bruno Munari and Enzo Mari created books and games by reflecting on children's need to create their own space, define their own rules and create a magical and ever-changing dimension. A unique kind of experimentation, made possible thanks to the choice made by Jacqueline Vodoz and Bruno Danese to produce highly innovative games with the Danese company. A union that helped overcome an antiquated didactic tradition, and which will make game design a tool for learning. Children have fun interacting with interlocking structures, with books made from wood and transparent plastic pages, with pieces of paper to be placed or recombined in an infinite number of ways.Francesca Zanella is the creator of this episode, featuring interviews with Beppe Finessi, Francesca Giacomelli and Marco Romanelli.
