"Designing the water seems an absurd. But since more and more we are confronted with environmental issues, then the design can not fail to design it in all his clothes?:
And 'from this reflection that began the long job of curator of the exhibition and the essay H20 New scenarios for survival, architect Roberto Marcatti.
