Anno accademico 2023/2024
Venezia
Responsabile: Maria Antonia Barucco

OVER-TIME GLASS is dedicated to glass and takes students to Venice to discover the glass cultures that characterise a unique territory.

Glass is a material with extraordinary characteristics: used for thousands of years, it is open to future innovations.
The study of glass cultures (industrial and artisanal) is fundamental to generate advantages that allow new products to be designed, sustainable processes to be developed and awareness of the use of raw materials and waste to be raised.

In order to do this, Università Iuav di Venezia proposes a viewpoint that is focused on historical, cultural and technological characteristics.

This Erasmus+ BIP is an immersive experience in the glass cultures of Venice and for sharing Iuav's approach to the study of glass.
