Lorenzo received his present, a special 3D printer...Lorenzo opened a very nice art gallery some years ago in Bologna (his hometown).
A 3D printer? What can it print?
Chocolate printing
Xmas decorations
Guns, OMG!
Ms. Neri Oxman? A video about her

Ms. Neri also collaborates with fashion designer Iris Van Herpen.
It's Alien fashion indeed!

From the Course Letter:
Tangram, the Chinese puzzle made from seven geometric pieces it is an open-ended generative game.
In chinese, this puzzle is called ch’i ch’iao t’u meaning an ‘ingenious-puzzle figure of seven pieces.’ The puzzle became a craze in the Western World with “The Eighth Book Of Tan” by Sam Loyd (1903). Recounting a fictitious
history of Tangram, the book put forth false claims that the game was invented 4,000 years ago by a god named Tan. But the book did provide over 600 new shapes, with some of them untruly posing as true tangrams (or simply still unsolved). Such a prankster, this Sam Lloyd is!
The origin of western name forthe game. One of them is that while trading with China, Western sailors were introduced to the game and named it “trangram,”
a now obsolete English word meaning puzzle or trinket. Or,perhaps, the name comes from tá ng (the Chinese dynasty) and gram, Greek for ‘writing’.
An excellent exercise in spatial coordination. The purpose of the game is to recognize a given silhouette, then its whole and to assemble it using its composing pieces.
These are the simple rules to recreating the outlines:
1. You must use all seven tans, the name given to the pieces.
2. They all must touch.
3. They must not overlap.

And here is the puzzle becoming a real 3D object, a modular table composed of seven smaller tables by Italian designer Massimo Morozzi.
