Awards and recognition edit
In 2006, the "DesertSeal" (2004), an extreme environment tent prototype, gained recognition when it became a part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was featured in the exhibition "SAFE: Design Takes on Risk" (2005), curated by Paola Antonelli.[3] The same year, Vittori and Vogler were honored as "Modern-day Leonardos" by the Museum of Science and Industry during its Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius exhibition.
In 2007, the Museum of Science and Industry acquired a model of the inflatable habitat "MoonBaseTwo" (2007), designed to facilitate long-term exploration on the Moon. Additionally, the "MarsCruiserOne" (2007), a pressurized laboratory rover for Mars exploration, was showcased at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris as part of the Airs de Paris exhibition.[4]
