Francesco Faccin - Rafts. Allegories of Design

This book and project are a tribute to the raft (understood here as an abstract category and not just in the literal sense), the allegory of a journey that unites us and a metaphor of our intrepid nature that we so often tend to forget. The raft is an imaginative, indispensable object that in human history has represented in various forms the ability to adapt, the attachment to life or the desire to go elsewhere. Making the raft an allegory of the ability to design, Francesco Faccin collects in this book ten emblematic and inspirational stories that remind us of the importance of intuition and the ability to break the rules when necessary.
