Future Legacies Book
Book design reflects its collaborative and process-based spirit. It embraces diversity, holding many voices and perspectives together without reducing them to uniformity. Drawing on the Knowledge Atlas — the evolving map of crafts, materials, and processes that underpins the MADE IN Platform — the design integrates its visual language through fragments, textures, and patterns that connect research, publication, and exhibition. Here, design is more than form: it becomes a way of thinking, editing, and caring — a structure that gives space to dialogue, rhythm, and coexistence.
