The Latin word "habére" highlights and addresses multiple powerful meanings that refer today to the relationship with our environment.
It means , in fact, to "have", to "hold", to "own", or to "possess". It is the etymological root of many words of today's languages. The word "abito" in Italian for instance, stands for the noun "dress“clothes" but also for the verb "abitare" - in English, to "dwell“dwell" or to "inhabit". It also stands for "abitudine," or "habit," in the sense of "having good or bad habits". But most importantly, it is also the etymological root of the word "habitat", defining in a more holistic way, our environment and the specific set of conditions in which a species lives.
All these multiple meanings reflect an attitude that humans have towards the environment. On one hand, they They stand for something that we "have" or "hold", "own" or "possess", like in the sense of a habit, of a dressclothes, or a home - items with a very strong symbolism but also functional meaning. On the other handboth symbolic and functional items. As well, they stand for something in which we are held within, like a habitat. In other words, it describes an attitude that we keep in reaction to an external condition, but at the same time, it is the outer condition in itself.

Constraints:
Narrative
- taking the notion of climate change and its threats as a narrative
- students work on different scales (abito ~ human approach; habit ~ social approach; agitare ~ ecological approach;)
