Three Lectures at Malmö University together with the POLIMI-Research group “Constellations. Spaces of Public Action”:

Architecture [quality] Matters 
Envisiong San Siro #1 and #2

The Architecture of Interiors Design Studio 2018 and 2019 have been inspired by the ever-increasing number of studies that in Italy and Europe are concerned with the need for an opportunity to intervene on the vast residential property built after WWII and, in particular, on the Social Housing building stock that constitutes for many Countries the most substantial part. This is due the European Energy road map (2012) that has fixed the ambitious goal to cut gas emission by the 85% by 2050, investing large amount of money for retrofitting interventions on public buildings, specially on housing stock.
We believe this is an opportunity for architects and also a risk for our built and urban environment if we do not take care of it since those intervention might be an incredible tool either for improving building and urban quality or to kill it: Architecture takes [or should take] command!

WELFARE SPACE
Strutture e spazi per la collettività a Pozzallo (SR)
[Nico Sirugo, 2017]

Qui si prende in esame il caso del Comune di Pozzallo, in Sicilia, dove l’aspetto dell’isolamento rispetto ai grandi centri viene enfatizzato da una localizzazione geografica estremamente periferica. Partendo da una riflessione su criticità e peculiarità del contesto sociale e territoriale, con questo caso studio si cerca di fare dell’archittetura uno strumento per offrire risposte.

IN / TRANSIT
Architetture permanenti per un abitare temporaneo
[Eugenio Nuzzo, 2017]

L’abitazione temporanea per individui e nuclei familiari in difficoltà economica emerge in questo contesto come nuovo bisogno sociale. In Transit – Architetture permanenti per l’abitare temporaneo si muove tra la ricerca e il progetto nei margini di queste contigenze, al fine di indagare cause, forme e risposte a queste fenomeno, e di contribuire attraverso una proposta progettuale a definire un’appropriatezza architettonica per il bisogno di residenzialità temporanea.
