"Our project, through the close sight it brings on the ISO district as a whole, try to tackle the very functioning of the distrcit as a social “milieu”, with its own habits, behaviors and agencies. Instead of focusing on one new and isolated gesture we tried to first highlight the potential qualities of what’s already there and so doing, through a naming effort, bringing recognition to the silent things and ways of living we are giving ourself the task to take care of."
