IN-PLAY. Design for sport
Building on the principle of the Olympic Charter, which recognizes sport as a fundamental human right, IN-PLAY. Design for Sport presents sports practice as a shared space and a platform for global dialogue. The exhibition explores cultural transformations in contemporary society, where design acts as a witness to a profound paradigm shift: projects, stories, data, and biomedical research collectively redefine the boundaries of competition.
