NE.ST is an automated community makerspace inside an abandoned tobacco factory, where refugees can learn Industry 4.0 professions without any prior knowledge.
The project aimed to drive social regeneration by repurposing abandoned spaces in a developing neighborhood in Florence.
The project was exhibited in the Circular Economy Pavilion at the 2019 MIDA and showcased at the OD&M (open design and manufacturing) event at the University of Arts of London, Central Saint Martins, where it won first prize in the pitch competition.
