Fabrica
Fabrica is the Benetton Research and Development Communication Centre. Fabrica is housed in a stunning building by Japanese architect Tadao Ando and is situated outside Treviso in North Italy. Led by an international team , Fabrica supports the creative development of young artist/researchers from all over the world. After a tough selection process, Fabrica invites young artists to participate in a range of communication activities, in cinema or graphics, design or music, as part of Colors Magazine, or within interactive or photography.
In its role as a laboratory of applied creativity (its name comes from the Latin word meaning "workshop"), Fabrica deals with new forms of communication, following two key principles: a hands-on approach to training (the young grant holders are invited to "learn by practice"), and a multi-disciplinary approach.
