Brussels (Belgium) - Based on his profound first-hand knowledge of the Amazon people and ecosystem, Pedro Martinelli will show how the inhabitants of the Amazon live among the pressures of the industrialised world. He will describe the projects being developed to promote the integration between their natural environment and industrial civilisation, and examine the roles design can play in this process. Using his own photographic work as a background, he will unveil the incredible universe of the Amazon.
