12 ROOMS
Designed for the Artfinity Festival at MIT, the project reconstructs some of the institute’s rooms, labs, offices, conference halls, and classrooms, where groundbreaking inventions have taken place. Some of these rooms belonged to buildings that no longer exist, some were part of the old Boston campus, and others are still around us.
12 Rooms celebrates the many inventions that have emerged from MIT’s campus throughout the institute’s history and become part of our
everyday lives.
In collaboration with Balsa Crosetto Piazzi
