- Atlantic wonder. Exploring nature and design in Madeira islandPublication . Vezzani, Valentina; Gonzaga, Susana; Bertolotti, ElisaThis paper describes and reflects upon the experience of the first international summer school “Atlantic Wonder” (SSAW18) happened in Madeira last July 2018. This event was the first experiment of a wider research that pretends to understand how Design can contribute to the preservation of natural resources and ecosystems. This summer school was designed with a complex programme using a series of different tools and approaches (i) to tackle the lack of a conversation and culture on a local level recognising Nature as one of the main resources; (ii) to put in dialogue an international design group of participants with local experts working in the fields of biology, botany, geology, agronomy and sustainable development; (iii) to experiment a new design driven, Nature-led approach. The SSAW18 allowed cross fertilization and interdisciplinary responses that in the end of the experiment resulted to be collaborative, novel and inspiring.
