Parsons School of Design at Amorim, Cork in Rio Frio

Photographic reportage of Parsons School of Design students visiting Amorim in Portugal. A day at the Rio Frio estate, in the heart of the cork oak landscape, to learn the cork cycle — from the cork oak to bark extraction — and to explore the possibilities of integrating cork into their artistic and design process as a sustainable, renewable and highly valuable material. Nature and sustainability photography, from the cork-oak montado and the trees to the «Sustainable by nature» presentation, the acorn, the young cork-oak nursery and the group portrait at the end of the day.
