Florence University of the Arts students are proud to announce the opening of the exhibition “INNOVATION” in which original student work will be presented.

This exhibition will be held at CORRIDOIO FIORENTINO, Via Magliabechi, 1 at 6pm on May 4th, 2017.

The exhibition will display the work of students currently enrolled in the following courses: Introduction To Digital Photography Landscape And Architectural Photography Introduction To Photography: From Darkroom To Digital Introduction To Fashion Photography Iphoneography Digital Animation Intermediate Interior Design Project For Sustainable Interior Design I Professors pre-selected artwork from each class that would fit into the theme of innovation.

There will be 22 works on display.

Innovation is important in Florentine culture as the city has been the home of many of master artists and the beginning of the Renaissance.

Innovation of the city has been proven effective as Florence has used its old architecture style to convert ancient buildings into functional buildings needed in today’s world.

By transforming something that already exists, something new is produced that still remains true to its origins.

This exhibit was curated by the FUA Experiential Learning course Gallery Exhibition and Curating

Photography was a very important and surprising innovation in the 19th century, and functioned as a new means of visual representation, not only in its own field but it also pushed other art forms to be re-evaluated in a new light. Since then, photography is still being innovated and continues to explore new points of view, generating new forms of expression such as cinema, and giving anyone who meets the power of this media an opportunity to create anew.

The students of my course started as total beginners in photography. Throughout the course they developed an awareness of this media. Through techniques such as depth of field, motion blur, and composition rules, they have explored the meaning of being curious, observing, expressing an opinion, and giving their own interpretation of reality around them. They have found an "innovation" in the way they see the world through the viewfinder of their camera. They have realized how they can select reality, and compose art or record a document from it.

INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Ashley Marino Lawrenceville, New Jersey , USA The Smoky Clouds A mini fire was burning the on the rural terrain of San Gimignano. After it went out, a vast amount of smoke flowed across the buildings and landscapes of the region. It seemed amazing how a firepit that appeared to be quite small could release such a massive amount of smoke.

The smoke moved in a direction that made it parallel to the clouds in the sky. Clouds and smoke have their dierences, but it is fascinating how smoke proves that clouds can be found both in the sky and on ground.

LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY DIVA SCHOOL OF DIGITAL IMAGING AND VISUAL ARTS

Students learned the basic principles of digital photography and acquired the foundation of their visual vocabulary. Students applied the techniques mastered during the course to a speciďŹ c photographic genre: landscape and architecture photography.

Making the most of the exceptional environment that Florence and the Tuscany region have to offer, they explored urban and natural landscapes in order to create a cohesive photographic portfolio. In this exhibit we present a selection of their achievements.

Students learned both film and digital processes, exploring the physical properties of film photography and the extended capabilities of digital photography.

Students applied the techniques assimilated during the course on different photography genres like landscape, still-life and portrait, in order to create a cohesive photographic portfolio. In this exhibit we present a selection of their achievements.

DIVA SCHOOL OF DIGITAL IMAGING AND VISUAL ARTS INTRODUCTION TO FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

During the semester the students explored the world of fashion photography. Starting from camera settings and techniques, they have developed a vision and a way to express themselves through the styling and direction of several fashion shootings.

They have learned how to show a dress, the importance of photography for the fashion industry, how to work with models and plan a small advertising campaign working in collaboration with real clients and brands.

Shown here is an example of their work.

Various apps and constant connection to the internet have turned the iPhone camera into a powerful, selfsustained, hand-held camera and darkroom ready to release information globally in the constantly changing digital market.

Stripping away the technical side of standard cameras, students were able to understand what stands at the base of a good photograph, learn how to see good light, and approach different subjects with conďŹ dence.

Composing, shooting and editing their photos directly on the phone, they connected the action in front of their eyes immediately with the rest of the world.

Shown here are some examples of their work.

Students worked on an up to date concept of the cafeteria, which is commonly considered a place where clients get food at a counter and carry it to a table for eating. The cafeteria, also defined coffee house or bistrot, is a public establishment similar to a bar and a restaurant where meals are displayed on counters and clients are served at the counter.

The “client” request is to develop the project of a restaurant as a design bar cafeteria establishment, which should be distinctly different from standard restaurants, with accurate details, particular attention to design and image, and a higher quality level of finishings.

The concept to be developed for this project focused on a cool space, and more specifically the request for a place which blends a warm and friendly style with the latest trends in aesthetics, in a fusion of materials and finishes which give the cafeteria an inviting atmosphere.

The S.Giovanni a Castiglioni Winery is part of a PAPMAA plan of the estate and consists in the design of a 650 m² facility. The design consists of two levels, the lower dedicated to working phases while the smaller upper area is dedicated to administration and retailing. The architectonic solution aims at maximum integration with the landscape, while creating elements of contemporary connotation and identity of the winery itself. The flat roof garden allows for low environmental impact and thermal mass provides for energy savings.

Inserted in the flat roof is a pergola that shields the connection between the outer area and direct sales.

The objective of project 1 focuses on the public and administrative area of the winery. Spatially this is to consist of an office, tasting area (with a bar including cooking facilities for entertaining), and showroom / display area of the winery products.

The design solution should consider the short and long-term future demands of the business, and the needs of the customers. This means carefully studying the competitive landscape, and finding small windows of opportunity to differentiate and anchor the winery’s identity through a sustainable design approach.

PROJECT FOR SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN I

Isabella De Rizzo San Paolo, Brasil Florence University of the Arts Winery Design The whole ambiance of the Castiglioni winery’s tasting area was developed considering material, modules, illumination and multiplicity of use. All these elements were thought to contribute to its sustainability and to reduce the impact on the natural surroundings.

First of all, the materials used were wood, glass and steel. Oak wood was used to develop part of the furniture, ceiling and panels. Its resistance is ideal for the function and it can be found in the local area. Glass was used to show the working area, which integrates it better with clients. In the opepnings to the external area, it is protected by the steel brise soleil or by the pergola, decreasing the heating on summer time, but still lighting the structure. Some panels were made by steel in grey collor to contrast with the wood, and also, as in the external area, this material can be more resistent to sunbeams. The ground floor is entirely made of burned concrete, which gives low maintenance if exposed to light and humidity. All elements were designed with a certain size; all the brise soleil panels have the same measure, including the ceiling stripes and furniture. Therefore, it eases the production and building. Another important factor is the composition of the elements. They all lead in some linear way to the landscape, also touching the ground discreetly, making the room visually lighter. Finally, the furtinure helps to create a space that can be used in many occasions. The tables can be put together, double size, and the fixed bench can be used as chairs or just a support for parties and bigger events.
