Quarantine measures implemented to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic have turned screens into a connection window and made it easy to know other people’s personal spaces.
This is how “Stories of Workshop” emerged. Creative Studies”, a cycle of conversations organized by the Finis Terrae University School of Design in which prominent designers from different parts of the world will show and describe the places where they work, which is the most valued space for these professionals. Guests will also talk to academics at this studio house about their creative processes and trajectory.
