On Wednesday 27 November 2024, at 6.30 p.m., at the Rogers Station, Riva Grumula 14, Trieste, the meeting entitled ‘Carlo Carbone. Small resonances. Sound as a tool for inclusiveness’, as part of the “Inclusive Design Hub” event in which the University of Trieste is a partner. During the evening we will discuss sound and light, the physical phenomena that most define space, inspired by the path of architect Carlo Carbone (Prato.1960), one of the greatest experts in acoustics applied to the world of entertainment.

Carlo Carbone began his career as a lighting technician in the workshop of brothers Sergio and Guido Baroni, where he learned the art of theatrical lighting engineering. While studying at the I.U.A.V in Venice, where he graduated in 1986, he designed and directed the creation of the Tenax disco in Florence and the Deposito Association in Pisa, the first work in which his idea of composition took shape. This was followed by a training period, still ongoing, and an intense professional career that led him to realise important projects all over Italy. In the early 1990s, with the Hospital Consulting studio founded by Silvano Dubini, he collaborated on the executive design of seventy-five infectious disease and diagnostic imaging departments, some dedicated to AIDS. Carbone has recently collaborated on the study and acoustic model of the sound propagation of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Cathedral of San Vigilio in Trento, for which he also developed the lighting design.

The Inclusive Design Hub project consists of a series of meetings focusing on some application aspects of inclusivity in four different areas: Design, Communication, Sound Perception and Architecture. The aim of ID HUB is to deal with the concept of inclusive design by shedding light on the meaning of the word ‘disability’.

The project is promoted and implemented by the association Stazione E.N. Rogers with the contribution of the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and in partnership with the University of Trieste, University of Ljubljana, Guarnerio soc.coop. Udine, Fondazione Progettoautismo FVG Udine, Bonawentura / Teatro Miela Trieste.
