Mi sono appassionata a questa professione quando, al termine delle scuole superiori, ho incontrato il Bauhaus e l’idea che attraverso il progetto degli oggetti e degli ambienti del quotidiano fosse possibile intervenire sulla qualità della vita delle persone. Dopo la laurea triennale in Disegno Industriale presso l’IUAV di Venezia, ho scelto di perfezionare gli studi al Master in Product Design dell’ECAL di Losanna. Nello stesso istituto ho collaborato come assistente alla didattica, affiancando insegnanti e studenti internazionali nello sviluppo di progetti di laboratorio e di ricerca. Durante gli anni a Losanna, ho avviato la mia attività come ricercatrice e progettista freelance. Dal 2015 collaboro stabilmente alla ricerca e alla realizzazione dei progetti con lo Studio Monica Graffeo. Parallelamente collaboro alla ricerca in progetti di respiro internazionale, focalizzandomi in particolare sulla storia degli oggetti e in relazione ad aspetti culturali e sociali.

  A Marginal epigone of a disarming humanistic tradition, Marco Covi was born in Winter between the sea and the Karst during the Cold War and prior to the Warm Autumn. He practiced several ball sports for a long time, and then, suddenly, he devoted himself to architecture: he studied it, criticized it, set it up, laid it out and, mainly, he photographed it. He boasts several prestigious collaborations, the most important one of which is the one with Valeria, that produced three children. He realized photographic campaigns for private entities and public institutions and reportages for National magazines. He worked for publishers, architecture studios, trade magazines, communication agencies and companies operating in the design field. In 2016 he taught a course on Digital Photography with the Accademia di Belle Arti in Udine. Tragically suspended between irredeemable moments and redeeming Grace, he ended up taking a sit on the threshold of the moment, with the exquisitely modern result of being totally disorientated and out of time.

  Biography

  My name is Zeljka Djordjevic, I was born in Serbia, I got my degree in Computer Science at the Novi Sad University where I used to be a teacher. I have been teaching Computer Science for more than twenty years. During my professional career I collaborated with a team of researchers ( area: medicine at the University of Belgrade). As far as computer science is concerned my interest is for system analysis and artificial intelligence. I have been a teacher in Italy for over 14 years. I started and I am still presently teaching computer science at the Centro studi Volta in Udine and I also started teaching at the ABA, in the same city, 4 years ago. I always exercised my professional activity with enthusiasm, trying to convey to my students passion for this subject that is fundamental for the approach of young generations to the work market. I feel successful when I manage to transfer my knowledge to the students and it shows in their results. I decided to teach because in my life I was lucky enough to know qualified professors that passed me down this passion for a job that has given me and is still giving me, a lot to be thankful for.
