Being the jury’s special mention at the Samsung Young Design Award 2008 and a finalist at the Rolex Young Laureates Programme, the designer Filippo Cuttica’s project ICARO has come out as a logical and calculative approach toward the extensive work of mine detection. ICARO approach initially focuses on a problem’s systemic analysis while aiming at being an efficient and cost-effective working system. The project also aims at providing a system that is safe and friendly to the user. It offers low-tech solutions as a replacement of high-tech solutions at a kind of place where it could possibly be done, and thus acts as a sustainable system in terms of technology and materials.
