Do you know how a food disposer works?
60% of American kitchens have one, and food waste disposers are becoming increasingly popular in Italy as well. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
Alcázar de San Juan Tourist Office is just a storefront. Without posters, without any kind of duplicate images of city monuments, without fake traditional products, without clay pots, without ploughs, without Quijote’s busts. Only a storefront and that sign reminding “T-U-R-I-S-M-O A-L-C-Á-Z-A-R”. The extrusion of each one of its letters turns the sign into a three-dimensional lure inside and outside the Tourist Office. Marking out the area of the workspaces inside, and becoming a dynamic sign outside.
A tourist office is only an interchange between people. Little wooden steps make this kind of chats, stories, anecdotes or suggestions possible.
